Ya JonLL I do like his "attempt" and I say he succeded. Money wise it is probably not worth alot, but to him and the care put into it I'd say he will get years of service and fun out of it.
Do you think Mick and Duane just woke up one day and started putting out WB's and AR's without a ton of trial and error and hard work?
You brought this thread over from another area thinking to flame this poor guy. So he doesn't have a Strider yet, so what, he's got a good attitude and some talent, I hope he sticks around. Any rich shmuck can come on here and brag about his assload of Strider Knives and other such toys. And no, I'm not saying your one of them, I'm just saying calm down don't flame this guy, we all might learn something from him.
