[T.K.C.]

Today I went to my mail box and picked up 2 new knives; my Rick Hinderer wolf gray 3 inch XM-18 (This is the one on had on order from Blade '06. And for the record, I would wait even longer to get one of Rick's amazing knives!!!) & my Kevin Wilkins Paraforce folder.Kevin makes amazing, amazing knives!! (THANK YOU Commodorewheeler!!) Both are incredible knives!! The Wilkins' is smoooooooooth as smooth can be. The XM-18 is awesome as awesome can be. I LOVE Rick's spanto blade. It is satin finished too. I can not tell you how much I LOVE Rick's knives!! He is the MAN! I am a happy camper!!

I like that Kevin Wilkins Folder. I met Mr. Wilkins 2 times now - discussed knives of course. Nice man - nice knives. I didn't buy one... YET.

TKC,

Can you give some specs of both knives please? (size, handlematerial, steel...)

Nice Score!

 

[xaman]

Those are both beauties! Congrats.

 

[Lycosa]

YOU are a blade hog!!! Beautiful, both of them. Thanks for the pics!

I dunno the specs. of the Wilkins Paraforce. The Hinderer XM-18 has a 3 inch blade and the gray is G-10, the lock side is titanium.

Great knives, TKC!!! Your collection of knives can't be matched.
