Not long after rekindling my interest in cutlery I stumbled upon the 4-MAX and fell in lust...
Of course, I don't actually have any significant need for overbuilt knives generally, especially not folders.
All that said though, the 4-MAX actually can make surprisingly a passable EDC right out of the box.
Not long after I discovered the 4-MAX, I discovered Rick Hinderer's work. The only Hinderer I have ever owned, let alone held, as been one of their Vintage Walnut O1 Ranch Bowies.
I just can't stop wondering how the XM-24 compares to the 4-MAX (considering my unexpectedly favorable experience with it). I suspect better machining, tolerances, etc, but I wonder how much better it could possibly be?
How does the XM-24 stack up to one of the old USA made 4-MAXs out of the box?
What alternative to the XM-24 might replace a 4-MAX of excellent reputation?
Consider that I have had zero issues with the 4-MAX and have been impressed with it in almost every way.
