Sidearms & Scatterguns Strider BN or BT?

[bm11]

Well, I've been bitten by the Strider bug. Bought a SMF a few weeks back, and it is fantastic. Love it so much I think I "need" another Strider.

Initially I was thinking that I wanted to go with the BT. But the BN is a little larger, I don't know if that would make it more useful or less. I know it would help if I defined a purpose, I guess I can't really do that though, other than to say that I would be taking it camping and otherwise leaving it on my drag bag backpack strap for chopping down bushes in front of the target, cutting rope for hanging steel, etc. Yes I know it is excessive for what I plan on using it for, this is really a case of "just because I want one."

Thanks in advance for any advice you might give!

for clearing brush, I use a good set of pruners, easier and you are not hacking anything in front of your position. For a Strider, I have the clip point WP series knife.

Right on, though I don't generally pack pruners.

Found a good deal on a BN, if its too big I guess I'll just resell it.
