we're calling it the "S.L.C.C." for now; "S.lim L.ine C.oncealed C.arry".
this is a new model from Mick designed for low profile carry and use. made for IWB or intergrated with other modes of carry. these new knives will be offered in upto 3 materials; BG-42, Talonite, and Titanium.
the prototypes shown here are in ti and talonite, with tiger stripes still achievable in both the talonite and titanium. the tiger stripe finish on the ti is especially kickass.
blade length is 4" with a 7" OAL. about a 0.125" thickness. both blade materials in the protos shown here are non-mag.
one mode of carry is designed specifically to integrate with the map pocket found in the TAD Explorer jacket. simple 2 snap rigging sets up quick and replaces the standard map pouch which normally fits inside that pocket.
the large hole in the handle facilitates quick draws but not for grasping while in use. Mick does not adhere to the finger-in-handle philosophy. this could be a vulnerable point while in use or defense; ie., finger breakage.
when UPS showed up today both Josh and Evan went straight for the box marked "Strider". these awesome goodies were inside...
these should be available for sale in the coming weeks...
