Strider SMF
The Strider SMF is a framelock folding knife that was specifically developed for Det One, the first unit of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) under the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM).
The SMF knife is manufactured by Strider Knives of Escondido, California.
The knife features a 4 in (10 cm) drop point flat ground tiger striped blade of CPM S30V steel.
The handle is composed of a fire anodized titanium frame, oil impregnated bronze bushings, an oversized pivot screw 0.19 in (0.48 cm) in diameter, and a textured G10 glass-reinforced plastic scale with an incorporated backspacer.
The NATO Stock Number for the SMF knife is 1095-01-531-5015.
The latest version of this knife (generation 2 and above) includes the Hinderer Lockbar Stabilizer, a mechanism designed by custom knifemaker Rick Hinderer and licensed for use by Strider.
The lockbar stabilizer is a metal disc contained in the titanium lockbar which is designed to preserve the life of the framelock by preventing overtravel and flex.
The original knives designed for the Marines' SOCOM unit in 2003 do not include this feature, but subsequent versions do.
