The Strider SMF Cu Blade Show Atlanta 2025 Exclusive is a direct-from-maker, ultra-limited Strider SMF framelock folder released at Blade Show Atlanta 2025. Only 10 examples were produced, and Strider stated this configuration will not be repeated. That makes this SMF Cu one of the most collectible modern Strider SMF variants to surface.
This Mick Strider SMF features a black finished PD#1 spear point blade, thumbhole opening, notched thumbrest, jimping on the blade spine, a full-width copper show-side scale, and an HC 6AL4V titanium lock side engraved Blade Show Atlanta 2025. The lock side has an orange peel finished anodized titanium frame, titanium tip-up pocket clip, Swiss-machined black oxide stainless hardware, and a Hinderer-style lock bar stabilizer for maximum reverse lock retention.
Strider SMF Cu Blade Show Atlanta 2025 Exclusive
The Strider SMF Cu stands out because of its rare copper and titanium construction. The copper show-side scale gives the knife real weight, visual warmth, and long-term patina potential. As the copper ages, each of the 10 knives will continue to develop its own individual character, making every example even more distinct over time.
The black finished PD#1 blade brings the tactical side of the build into focus. At 3.875 inches, with a .190-inch thick full-flat-ground profile, the blade has the hard-use strength and aggressive utility collectors expect from a Strider SMF. The thumbhole, notched thumbrest, spine jimping, and solid lockup all reinforce the knife’s field-oriented DNA.
One of the Most Limited Strider SMF Runs
This Blade Show Atlanta 2025 release is more than a rare material variation. It is a timestamped Strider collector piece. The titanium lock side is engraved Blade Show Atlanta 2025, and the run was limited to only 10 pieces. That combination of event provenance, copper construction, PD#1 blade steel, and no-repeat release promise gives this SMF strong long-term collector appeal.
Mick Strider’s work is rooted in tactical function. Strider knives have long been associated with overbuilt construction, subdued finishes, hard-use geometry, and tools designed for people who need gear that will not fail. This SMF Cu keeps that Strider identity intact while adding a highly collectible Blade Show Atlanta exclusive configuration.
