I would love to see a Strider SMF and a R.Hinderer XM-18 take on a weight test like this.. Everyone knows that the prices of these two are crazy, I can pic up an Espada for 140 to 200.. SMF and XM-18 are 500 and up.. One thing I’ve always admired about Cold Steel is that they are not afraid to show you what their product is made of… Thanks for a Great lock Mr. Demko, Mr. Thompson and crew….
