If that isn't good enough to compete with the internet envy and whining crap, then I highly suggest getting a knife from one of the "knife fighter", former CIA (yeah right) Action Jacksons that are trying to save us all from Mick. They go out of their way to service the military and L/E community as their #1 priority, and run a business with several veterans employed in key positions. Their knives are 100% made in the USA with domestic materials. Anyone who knows Mick knows that he is very quiet, is not a braggert, is proud of the time he spent as a Ranger, and isn't proud of his mistakes.
I can accept that I am not perfect, but it is sort of insane to hammer Mick and Duane for a mistake I made in a 7 year old article in a annual gun rag. It was in error that it was actually JSOC (which later became a SOCOM asset as I understand it). I am the one who wrote the article about Strider and their SOCOM connection. Not because they make great war tools, its because of the other things they have done to support the military and L/E community that is never talked about or advertised. I have been to several events within the most elite warrior communities in this country and seen with my own eyes the admiration and praise given to both Mick and Duane. I always find it amusing in this whole thing that these "posers" are genuine rock stars within the military special operations community, yet a bunch of civilians and internet heroes are the ones throwing the most stones. I am going to be running Strider's L/E division, which should also make me a fraud, felon, and wannabe as well.Ĭhris ems to have some issues of his own, and I'll leave it at that. The guy at the table drinking beer and claiming to be a marine Sniper is in fact Duane and not Mick for all the internet know it alls. He is actually the one most have seen or spoken to at events, and he is very proud of his USMC background and loves to talk. Duane does far more shows and appearances than Mick. He also has experience outside of normal military service. Duane is also a reserve Police Officer and serves on a SRT unit (we always give ex-felons badges). He is a confirmed former USMC Scout/Sniper (he has also been accused of being a fake and felon by the same crowd, I guess they always allow fakes to give speeches at S/S graduations). Many folks confuse Mick with Duane Dwyer, the co-owner of Strider knives. In the many years I have known Mick, I have never heard him make a single public claim of anything other than his Army service and Ranger background.
There is often more to many stories, and this is one of them. Did Mick do other "stuff" after seperation from the military due to an injury-yes. He has the DD214 to prove it, numerous Rangers who served with him, and it seems that the Ranger community has no issue with his claims-just a bunch of guys like Kevin McClung, Lance Harris, and Lynn Thompson who have never served in any L/E or Military capacity, yet feel the need to "out" those who did. Mick did in fact serve with the Army Rangers. Mick is one of the few people who I allow around my kid.
#Strider knives choosing full#
To put that in perspective, I have been a full time cop for 19 years, and my list of friends with a felony conviction is exactly 1-Mick Strider. Mick Strider is one of my closest friends.
