Strider Knives gave Gear Scout a first look at a fighting knife so new it hasn't even hit the company's Web site.
The K-bar styled profile will be familiar to Marines, but this isn't for framing. The blade runs the length of the redesigned handle to provide strength and survivability -- the key qualities of the man for which it was named. Chuck Mawhinney is a Vietnam vet whose 103 confirmed kills (not to mention the 216 probables) remains a Marine record.
The model will run you $350, and the company gives military and law enforcement get a 20 percent discount.
