Hello,

Good god... 3 of the best looking folders Ive seen in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG time!!!!!!!!!

Bravo,

Chris
 
Thanks all!
if you'd like any more pics just let me know.
The two 24's are beasts but the Bowie is the best slicer of a knife I've ever received from Rick.
Best,
 
Seriously, how would someone acquire an XM-24 HellFire? I would really like to purchase one.

Nice score!I'd trade my WHOLE collection for those three knives.

Well, I was told the only real way to get any customs is the lottery at the shows or events Rick Hinderer goes to. Other then that, you will have to look on the secondary market, and I haven't seen one go up for sale and if it did, I'm guessing it would be pretty expensive since there are so few out there and everyone wants one...

Pretty much dead on. I believe the two 24 Hellfire's offered at the GTG are the only two that have been made so far. But I might be wrong about that.
 
Thanks for the video Justin, nice job. Condratulations on your excellent haul. I have a question. Do the custom 24s or 18s for that matter, deploy easier than a production model. I only own productions and I've often wondered if those beautiful customs might be the the same or if they'e more finely tuned.

On second and 3rd takes (I can't get enough of watching that Hellfire) I'd say there's not much discernible difference. Enjoy your blades man!! :D

I don't see how the blade grind is going to affect deployment. All of them are assembled in the same fashion.

No the grind RDA, I thought perhaps the customs might recieve a little more attention (like a higher polish in the tang, etc.) in the assembly of the custom knives. I take you reply as a no?
 
There's no difference between a custom or a production, they are all assembled the same exact way.

The blades are what they are, they are either bead blasted, satin, stonewashed, working finish, etc. regardless of production or custom grind. They are all hand assembled in a similar manner regardless of the blade finish/grind.

One may argue that certain blade finishes may result in smoother movement.
