I have a couple Hinderer XM-18s and I was wondering if the blades are interchangeable. I want to put the spanto blade on my anodized slicer.

I have a couple Hinderer XM-18s and I was wondering if the blades are interchangeable. I want to put the spanto blade on my anodized slicer.

It's been asked before and here's the nutshell...no. Doing so voids warranty and such. Bottom line, request official anodizing when the Ranch is accepting the work.

These knives are hand assembled and fitted. While all have interchangeable parts, blade swaps are not encouraged.

Awesome, thank you. I did a search and went two pages deep and didn't find an answer. Sorry to ask again, but thanks so much for the info. I value my warranty on such amazing knives so will leave them alone
