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.

I'm in!!

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.

Of course, that is what I meant, I knew it was Gen 1 but my fingers and brain were crossed.

Do 1.5's count?

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...

...And yes, it is a user!

This one is a Gen I (I think) 3" flipper. Love this little guy!

emel · Oct 11, 2012

Great to see the changes made to the Gen.1 3.5", also really like that 3" Gen.1

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

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