So if I'm seeing this correctly, the 55x is about the equivalent of and XM-18, and the 56x is the equivalent of a XM-24?

Thanks all.

Only in terms of size. The ZTs are not XMs.

That was what I meant. I have a 550, and it's a great knife, until I pull out an XM-18. I have a 24 on it's way to me, and am considering a 56x for when I want an XM-24, but can't risk losing a real Hinderer. Like in checked bags, etc.

Thanks for the info, abd Happy Hindering!

Roger that.

I tend to carry only knives I can afford to lose in my checked luggage. But if I have to transport a valuable item, I guess my options are ship it or check it. This has been on my mind as I fly out for the upcoming suspect gathering. Whatever I buy out there has to get home somehow.

Oh yeah, you're missing out by not having a 55x or a 56x!

Hey B., if that 24 ever needs a new home....cough, cough.

Love the dual finish. I think it would be super sweet if reversed. But :thumbup: all the same.

Do they make the xm-24 with the slicer grind?

I may be wrong...often am....but I believe a few custom ground 24 Slicers do exist.

I was referring to production grinds.
