Description

This is a Buck-Strider 808 Fixed Tanto, a legendary collaboration between Buck Knives and Strider Knives. Born from a "Process reliant" design philosophy, this knife was engineered for the uncompromising requirements of tactical and survival professionals. It represents the "Industrial" peak of your collection, focusing on overbuilt structural certainty. Core Components & Overbuilt Engineering The Blade (Tanto Geometry): Forged from thick ATS-34 or CPM-S30V high-performance steel, the blade features a modified Tanto point. This geometry creates a secondary "corner" on the edge, which is devastating for slicing, while the reinforced tip is designed for high-force prying and armor penetration without snapping. The Spine: Features aggressive notched thumb jimping and a partial serrated section at the base. This provides the user with multiple "process-stable" grip points for high-torque tasks. The Hilt (G-10 Scales): The handle is composed of black G-10 scales with a high-traction, textured finish. G-10 is a high-pressure fiberglass laminate that is virtually indestructible—it does not absorb moisture, swell, or crack, making it a modern mechanical successor to the antler and horn found in your antique daggers. Construction: This is a full-tang beast. The steel of the blade runs the entire length of the handle and terminates in a heavy exposed steel pommel, designed for blunt-force hammering or glass-breaking. The Sheath System: Housed in a heavy-duty Ballistic Nylon sheath with a plastic liner for safety. The sheath features a dedicated pouch for a diamond sharpening stone, ensuring the maintenance "process" can happen in the field.
