Brand new in box and even still has the factory grease along the edges.

About the Strider BS: Most breaching tools are too large to be carried by each team member or to have on hand for unplanned situations. The Strider BS Breacher's Axe was designed to be a more compact tool that can be carried and immediately deployed from a vest. The BS primary cutting edge is a typical hatchet head. However, the unique nature of the BS is in its many features. The underside of the main cutting edge is also sharp. This is so the tool can "pull cut" through wire in stucco, romex cable, lattice, etc. The top of the tool has a chisel tip to enable use as a pry bar. The rear poll has a more obtuse bevel to use for breaking up harder materials such as masonry. The bottom of the handle has a hooked pommel to keep from slipping out of the and as well as to enable the user to determine the direction of the tool by feel.

Being a Monkey Edge + Strider + RMJ Tactical project, the BS had to be in CPM-3V for toughness, and rocking some Monkey Edge FRAG Pattern for enhanced grip! RMJ Tactical added some of their signature goodness to the BS, like a slight size tweaks and the full-length grip. Full features of the BS are:

• Multi-use head profile purpose built for breaching, prying and smashing.
• Forward cutting edge, lower sharpened 'beard' for pull-cutting (not for choking up, but for hooking), rear wedge breaker, and top pry bar.
• Smaller hatchet profile for easy carry on your person or in your kit.
• CPM-3V construction for extreme use and abuse capability.
• Hooked handle for easy retention during shock, twisting and fatigue.
• Monkey Edge FRAG Pattern full length handle scales for enhanced grip, wherever you grab it.
• Removable handle for easy maintenance.
• Cerakote finish for low profile look and corrosion resistance.
• Kydex sheath for versatile carry.
