Nice score! Keep looking and you shall find.

What steel is it?
Is the blade marked?
154CM?
CPM 154?

Blade is not marked, Knifeart had it as CPM 154

I bought a black one about a month ago. They are great little knifes. Now I want it's big brother, an FXM.

sure does look great
how does it compare to other small knives, like the izula and becker necker.

I don't have a becker, but it is about the same size as the izula. I like the weight, handle, and the shallower belly in the blade better than the izula. Been carrying it along with the sebenza for a few days and I really like this little flashpoint. Put some paracord on the sheath so I can carry it on the belt. Might have to pick up another one

 

[JCK]

Thanks, those are great comparison shots. Now I really want a flashpoint.

 

[Bill86]

Do they make bigger flashpoints or a similar knife that is larger?

 

[JCK]

the FXM is the larger version I think

 

[Bushmaster-M4gery]

The FXM is fixed blade version of the 3.5" XM-18. Here's a photo of both.

 

[JCK]

ah ok, wasn't sure. Then is the Flashpoint a standalone design, not based off of another hinderer knife?

 

[gafirefighter]

I would for sure love to get my hands on one of the fixed blade models. The design and shape look great and quite functional. Thanks for the comparison shot of the two. It really shows the size difference.
