I just LOVE the R Hinderer stamp on these Gen 1 and 2s! I wish they'd bring that back!!!!!!!!!!! SO AWESOME!
 
Me, me, I do. I really like that first Gen 2 you pictured. I also love that Gen 1 Hellfire, that thing rocks.

Thanks!!!

Just kidding!

Love the early ones. Probably goes without saying that if Rick created it, I like it....but I said it anyway.

Thanks for the photos, Rob.

I think I recognize a couple of the pics, but never tire of seeing photos of things this cool.
 
Do 1.5's count? :D This 3.5" XM-18 has gone through some changes since I got it...

All original parts...

After a trip to the Ranch, where it got its Gen II upgrades & new green scale...and someone reverted it back to to tip down carry (cough Rick cough ;))

...And then some time later, it slipped into a smooth carbon fiber scale...

I totally agree!! Just his name on the blade make it look like no other... Bring it back!! Beautiful knives Rob!!
 
i'm thinking every one in the herd has a softspot for the GEN1 /2 XM's :D

The 'R.Hinderer' stamp looks cool on the blade really compliments the knife aesthetically
