So I was looking at some knives, and came to these two:
Hinderer 3.5 XM-18 or Strider SNF, they both look pretty good, which one would you choose, I plan to add it to my collection

Thanks
 
I've got both, so either one would make a nice addition to your collection.
 
I've got an Hinderer XM-18 and it has quickly become my number one choice for daily EDC. I love it. I love it so much, in fact, that I've just ordered a $200 custom scale for it. I guess that says I'm pretty much committed to it :)
 
I bought the Hinderer XM-18 3.5 black, also the Sebenza 25 with micarta inlays and a Umnumzaan, I already have a CF Seb 21 large, plan on buying the Benchmade 940 CF, that should do it for now, is the ZT 562 CF too much like the Hinderer?
 
Excellent choices bro!!
I have a 562 CF, no Hinderer, and it is a fantastic blade! Got mine from Scott at usamadeblade recently. He has some that are anodized for no extra charge. Mine is bronze and it's gorgeous!
Also....you will LOVE that Benchmade!! Just about a perfect EDC blade!
Good luck with the new additions!!

Man, good taste right there!

I thought the 0562 and XM-18 were different enough to enjoy both. I only had the 0562 for a few days before I sold it, but I liked that it was thinner overall and the blade seemed flatter.
The Umnumzaan, 25, and XM-18 all complement each other well though, I approve!

Can you please tell me what's the best place to purchase a Hinderer?

Search the exchange for a good deal, or look on RHK website for a dealer list, and then see which of those are BF supporting dealers. Whitty (Scott) at usamadeblade is a good guy and will treat you right.
 
Knifeart just got a new batch of Hinderers, I was waiting since they ran out of stock for about 2 weeks, got an email saturday saying they had the xm 18 back in stock, I ordered right away
