Mick Strider's signature 'Nightmare Grind' gives the knife a dramatically aggressive style. The two-tone S35VN stainless steel blade features stonewashed flats and satin grinds. The detent ball acts as a stop when closing the blade with one hand. The lock has a вЂњhalf cockвЂќ feature that keeps it from closing on your hand in a one-handed closing situation. This keeps the lock bar from over-traveling without the use of the Hinderer lock bar stabilizer.

The lock slot is cut using wire EDM at a 45 degree angle, rather than a 90 degree angle. The 3D contouring is inclusive to the entire outer surface of the scales, including the lock web. The two stop pins add strength and rigidity to the knife, along with the scales which are made of 6AL4V Titanium which has been stress relieved, flattened, and double disk ground to +/. Mick comments, 'this isnвЂ™t new, just the way I do it is'. This pivot system uses a precision inner bushing to keep the blade at the exact correct tension. Both the pivot bolt and pivot nut are indexed into a double counter bore to insure accuracy. The pivot bolt is press fit into the non-locking side of the knife. The contour matches that of the knife surface. 200вЂќ titanium bolt with a skull that is contoured into the bolt head. Until now, all of Mick's folders have utilized a chain-ring bolt style pivot, while this model uses a new pivot system. The SJ75 has taken Mick over a year to perfect for debuting. The simple construction and pivot system has undergone over three years of development.
