Let's see your Hinderer knives

A Big Brown truck arrived today with a XM-24 for me :devil:

I was surprised just how big it is (on top) compared to the XM-18's





Here some pictures of my other Hinderer knives,

The custom slicer grind on the 3" looks great. Both of the one that I have had were the production spanto grind, which I never really feel in love with. The Hinderers are the best looking knives out there right now in my opinion. Great pics. Thanks

How does the ZT compare?

Thanks for your comments! The custom 3'' is actually a "Deep Swedge Spearpoint" grind. The ZT is great, but it needs to be broken in! I bought it new and opened it up a few times, then put it back in the box. The custom scale (LSCF) was made last month, I took a few pictures and then back in the box. The only knife I EDC is one of the 3.5" XM's, I haven't put anything else in rotation. After playing with the XM-24 a little last night I'm finding it hard to get use to the flipper. Maybe with a little more practice I'll get the hang of it, if not.........

Here is a older pic of my 3". I carried it daily for about six month. I have since sold the knife, but miss it. Will probably get another sooner of later. I will probably save up for a custom version.

Nice pic of a great EDC combo! It looks like you prefer the non-flippers as well?

My first XM-18 was a flipper and I hated it, but the non-flipper 3" and 3.5" both won me over. Didn't like the flipper action as well as just swinging the knife to throw the blade out and the flipper seemed to ruin the user friendliness by just being in the way and not helping out in any manner.

very cool

i am hoping to get my first xm-18 within a month!

Mine ...

Great side by side pics bro thanks for sharing You can really tell the difference good, even the 3.5 seems to be a bit bigger then the 3

ETA: My dream Hinderer is a 3.5 wharncliff flipper......someday someday

It IS. Personally, I would think the xm-24 would feel like a small SWORD!!!

I had a 3" version and although I liked it, it just felt to petite for my hands, and they are NOT large!

3.5" version is, IMO, the PERFECT size and heft.

I prefer the XM-18 3.5" as well, it's been my EDC for the last 6 months. I don't think the XM-24 is like a "SWORD" though, it's just a little beefier. When I need something a little bigger, I go to the Wendigo :devil:

Nice XM24 BARBARIAN-X. Love the Ti scale. Here's my recent acquisition. XM24 DLC coated all black.

Gotta go with orange scales.

Here is the only one I've ever had, lottery winner at the first USN Gathering. Pictured with USN coins, and a Starlingear Bulldog Bead.




Here is it pictured with my one-off Steel Flame Bulldog pendant.

Here's one of mine, was playing around with some electroluminescent sheets.
