Up for sale is my Hinderer XM 18 3” non flipper with the tri-way pivot. No wear on the knife, and the blade is pristine. Comes in the box with the peanuts.
However, there are two issues with the knife. I took it apart to try out the washers. I didn’t like them, so I put the bearings back on. Now the there is an audible squeak when moving the blade back and forth as the detent ball rolls on the blade. I’ve tried putting lube on the track, but it has not changed. I am not sure how to make it stop. (Correction, I have fixed the issue. I polished the detent ball track, and it is good to go.) The other issue is one of the body screws is starting to strip. I’ve circled it in the pictures, and you can get the screw out, but you can’t crank down on it. The action, and lockup are great. Low price due to the screw . Sold shipped conus.
