This is intended to be a quick photo review with some thoughts and comments mixed in.
I’ll start by saying these are most certainly fakes, and I don’t much care for the ‘Strider’ branding on them. But they are amazing knives for 10 bucks, and I bought them planning to strip the paint off of them and maybe make a couple Kydex sheaths. I have seen a similar knockoff to one of these for about $5 on Amazon, but the sheaths that come with the Fasttech versions are almost worth $10 in their own rite.
Both versions come in a high quality sheath with lots of attachment loops and a firesteel pocket, which I have yet to test.
The sheaths are a little rough around the edges but high quality.
Yeah. Don’t like the logo on the sheath either. I have to figure out what to do about it since I may or may not keep these sheaths.
They both come wrapped fairly decently in paracord. Certainly better than I could do it, since I’m a noob.
Both these knives look to be about a quarter inch thick! The drop point version is tapered, but the Tanto version keeps its width down most of the spine. These knives look to as robust in my hands as they do in the pictures.
They look to be absolutely indestructible. These are Chinese steel, so I can only imagine what the real ones are like. In fact, I’ve been looking at buying the drop point version someday soon at about $300. But I couldn’t imagine being able to damage anything but the edge on these knockoffs.
This one is my favorite, since I’m not a huge fan of Tanto style blades. It’s got a pretty good feel—good ergonomics, even holding it choked up.
The fit and finish is decent—probably a little better than it needs to be since if this isn’t a beater knife, I don’t know what is.
Mine came with a decent edge on it—nothing special. I probably won’t sharpen them until I figure out what I’m going to do with them.
Hopefully the picture does the knife justice for what an amazing value it is for 10 bucks. At least the same amount of the value as Fasttech’s Buck 480, which I also bought and plan on reviewing here.
It’s the width of a Becker BK2 for one fifth the price, though the Ka-Bar uses much better steel. Either way, these things are beasts.
The paracord wrap looks good, but again, I’m no expert. I wonder what someone like Stormdrane would have to say about it. But it looks good to me, and it’s not too loose or anything. And the paracord looks to be of decent quality. 
I do not like the ‘Strider’ logo one bit, and if I didn’t think I stood a good chance of stripping it off wouldn’t have bought it. I’m totally OK with copies, but I don’t like seeing another company’s name if there’s pretty much no chance they can be authentic, unlike the Buck 480 which may or may not be authentic.
My wife thinks the tiger stripe paint looks cool, but I think it would look much better stripped and either polished or maybe with a forced patina on it.
The Tanto version is nice, too. It’s a little more compact but a little heavier since it’s not tapered as much as the drop point version. It came with a decent edge as well, and the same fit and finish. 
The Tanto version feels even more robust. I wonder what it would take to kill one! Other than maybe breaking off the tip or possibly rolling the edge both of these are effectively indestructible pry-bars.
These are both amazing values for $10, though I’m hesitant to buy more of them until I figure out how to de-badge them. If having the Strider logo doesn’t bother you, then these look to be top notch survival knives in the same ballpark as their made in the USA counterparts like the Ka-Bar Becker series.
