Hardcore operators around the globe stake their lives on the ability of Strider Knives to withstand unbelievable abuse while remaining intact and functional. Indeed, stories about the ability of Strider Knives to perform extreme and almost ridiculous tasks abound. An integral component of this characteristic is the careful choice of the materials they use to construct their products.

Strider Knives is a privately owned and operated company devoted solely to the development and construction of edged tools designed to survive use in the harshest of conditions.

The company was founded and is currently operated by former military personnel. The initial goal was to provide a field service knife constructed with the finest components available, yet affordable to the average enlisted man and within his maintenance abilities.

The initial goal having been met, Strider Knives found a ready market for custom-edged weapons and tools with the same component quality requirements as the first highly successful field knives. Many of Striders available edged tools are drawn from customer's specific design requirements. Others are simply the company's ability to look at a potential work environment and design a prototype to be tested and assessed by the workers of that environment.

The background of Strider Knives founders enables the company to assess requirements in diverse fields ranging from the average line soldier/marine through special operations, law enforcement and hunting to commercial diving. Various Strider designs have met and exceeded the requirements in each of these fields.e, Strider Knives has and will continue to produce customer's specially designed custom edged weapons and tools. The only limiting factor being economics and the availability of components.
