Well as soon as I can decide on what size and finding one might be problematic. I have been in discussion with the police over here in Australia about getting permission to import and finally convinced them to allow me to get one. Non flipper only unfortunately. I have been looking around for comparison pics of the different sizes but usually they are compared to other XM-18s. I have been more of a traditional style folder knife person so the only liner lock style knife I have to compare for size is a Kershaw Zing. Any chance someone could take some pics comparing the 2 sizes to a Zing?

I don't know how much this will help but I have one pic with a Kirby Lambert Flare. The XM is a 3''.

Thanks for that.. I'll have to have another look around for some size comparison pictures. I haven't found one against a ruler or measuring tape yet and I thought there would be a few of those out there. For indecisive people like me trying to make up my mind between the 3" vs 3.5" versions

Thank you so much.. that is exactly what I was looking for.

I got out my SAK and my Zing in case anyone was wondering I reckon the Zing is pretty much the same size as the 3" XM-18. The handle maybe be a touch longer on the XM-18.

Based on that I am now in the market for a 3.5" non flipper XM-18. :) I'll have to start watching the exchange and the dealer sites.
