Hinderer XM-18 3" Spanto grind flipper. Knife has been carried a few times and rarely used. I would rate the condition as verygood to excellent (see pics, moreavailable on request). I'm offering up this knife because it's just toosmall for me and I never really cared to carry it because of this. I prefer my 3.5" or my XM-24 as they just fit my hand better. Blade hasbeen touched up on my sharpmakerand is quite sharp, will easily shavehair but I wouldn't necessarily call ithair popping sharp.It comes with a Hinderer working finish textured Ti scale. Included is factory liner in case you want to replace the Ti scale with a G10 scale. The lock side and blade are stonewashed.
Also installed is a full compliment of blue ano Hinderer hardware. Note - the pivot screw is older, a bit worn and faded and shows signs or removal and adjustment, i.e. screwdriver marks.
***I will include original Hinderer factory hardware when I ship the knife.***
Also installed is a genuine Steel Flame Zirc Fatty Crusader Tab. I will sell the knife without the tab at a reduced price if requested. However, the tab is not for sale seperately.
Lock-up is solid. Action is good, not great. The blade just does not have enough weight to snap open like the heavier 3.5" or the much bigger XM-24. I backed off the pivot screw very slightly to allow for improved flipping action. There is no blade play, but the blade ever so slightly favors the scale side. If the pivot screw is tightened to center the blade perfectly, flipping needs a slight bit of wrist action to get it to snap open with authority.
Included is original box, build card, peanuts, original scale liner, and original hardware.
Will ship USPS Priority with tracking info supplied as soon as it ships. Insurance not included but available upon request.
