I have been very fortunate in getting this directly from Rob,
it was from the 3.5" flipper on sale on this site, and i was one of the lucky guy that grabbed this just in time.
Here is the picture with the XM 3" non-flipper that i also scored from Rick and Rob.
Although, its only .5" less than the 3.5" the overall size is actually much difference. Making this a totally different knife in usage and application.
I am very fond of the stone washed blade, of course, i much preferred the custom grind, however, as a USER and EDC, it doesn't get better than this!!
Rob even throw in the new screws!!! Thanks ROB!!!:thumbup:
My overall impression of this knife is no different than anyone who has handled this knife.. it is a Beast!!! I am not really good at flipping the XM but i do enjoy the flipper as it act as a finger guard, which i believe is one of the main attraction of this knife. The lock up is tight and early.
After playing with it, it got more smooth and with a little lube, it feels like million bucks. The more i carry it, the more i love this knife. It's a production knife with custom built qualities.
Again, i want to thank Rick and Rob for this terrific knife. Although i have left the States for couple years now. Hopefully, i will have a chance to meet Rick and Rob face to face and thank them in person at shows and gatherings.
