Hinderer XM-18 3.5 flipper, black G10, stonewashed S35VN spearpoint blade, upgraded copper standoffs and lockbar stop, twilight blue Ti liner (also comes with original liner) was completely disassembled and cleaned/polished throughout, lubed with "Go Juice". 2nd owner, no pocket time . Still has original edge, zero blade play or wobble, blade is centered, no box or case. You get both liners.
All knives stropped, oiled, and run through a CORAL UV sterilizer before shipping.

$339

Offers/trades OK, but please PM me and don't reply on this thread.

This is a really nice knife- if you want to trade, I need something smaller, this is too big.20201121_135719 (1).jpg hinderer 3.jpg hinderer 4.jpg hinderer 6.jpg Hinderer disasembled and cleaned.jpg Hinderer Copper Standoffs.jpg 20201121_135719 (1).jpg hinderer 2.jpg

Either generation 4 or 5. I think the only difference between like 2 to 6 is that the 6 (I think that's the latest) is with 6 you can use 3 different types of bearings - nylon, phosphor bronze, and ceramic, whereas generations 2-5 is nylon or phosphor bronze.
Because it's a big heavy blade, I don't think that it's that big of a deal because heavy blades aren't going to launch out like rockets. I have an Olamic Wayfarer 247 which is the gold standard for fidget action, and compared to the Hinderer they don't feel more than about 20% smoother.
Keep in mind there are a few extras here which add up to at least $75 & probably over $100.
I have the fancy deep blue Anodized liner in right now which makes it a tiny bit less fidgety besides, so if you swap it out and put in the original and adjust the tension, it's probably only 10% less fidgety than the Olamic.
Anyway, at the price I am selling at, I think the resale value will be pretty stable unless it gets abused.
No rush, I have had a few interested people but nothing firm yet. If it helps, I'll throw in a lanyard bead with my special glow in the dark pigment applied : )

Thank you so much for the information. I think I want Gen 6 and don't need the extras.
 
OK. It kinda sucks that no retail stores stock mid tech knives for us to try. At least not around me.
Unless you have XL large hands I think the smaller XM-18 is the way to go.
