Strider knives are know for bulletproof knives that can handle insane abuse. The Strider Hatchet was built in the same vein as their other tools: Sturdy and bombproof. This heavy-duty hatchet is more of a breaching tool than a fighting tomahawk style weapon.
Here are the specs on the Strider Hatchet XL(pictured above)according to the Strider website:
- .250″ Black Oxide Coated S7
- 550 Cord Wrapped Handle
- 16.65″ OAL
- 5.86″ Head
- 4″ Edge
- 2lb 3oz
- Kydex Edge Guard
The more common Strider Hatched (non-XL) is shorter and doesn’t seem to be in production currently. Here are some specs from the Regular Strider Hatchet:
- Blade Head Width: 5 1/2″
- Cutting Edge: 2 1/2″ Serrated bevel
- Overall Length: 12 5/8″
- Blade Steel: Crucible S-7- Black Coated
- Handle Material: Tan Paracord
- Sheath Description: Kydex Head Cover
All the Strider Hatchets were made from S7 tool steel and feature a Chisel ground primary cutting edge and a sharpened beard.
