As much as I hate to put this up for sale, I have more projects that I want to work on with Josh, and I need to free up funds to do them...

So, here it is:

Gen4 Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Wharncliff Reground by Josh @ REK.
(If you don't know Josh or his work, you are missing out!!)

Blade Steel on this is the incredible CPM20CV.
The Primary Bevel is a perfect 0.20, and the edge is at 18DPS

This knife slices like a laser. I am not sure how better I can explain that?!

It has RHK Brass standoffs and an RHK Brass LBS (Will come with original Standoffs and LBS as well as the RHK box and those yummy tactical peanuts.

Detent is strong, flipping action is as good as any GEN4 RHK I have owned (excellent)

Lock-up is around 20% and centering is excellent. No Play in any direction....

It's been used by only me, and stropped exactly 3 times.
There are some very faint scratches on the blade because there is no stonewash there to hide them.
(Captured in the last 2 pics, and the lighting has really magnified them, they are very faint and superficial)

This is a user, and a razor!
Aside from the scratches, it is in excellent condition.
I use my knives, but take very good care of them.

If there is anything I missed, or if you have any Questions, please contact me.

I am asking $415.00 Firm. (SOLD) That includes shipping + tracking + PP fee's.

*I reserve the right to sell to who ever I wish, for whatever reason I wish*

Thank you!

Next up is a really cool Strider GB-FL that was completely reworked by Josh @ REK into what I consider to be perfect.

This was a user.
I decided to retire it, however I wanted to bring it back to mint condition and add a little something.

The GB has been discontinued by Strider, and this is knife #17/100 that they made as a frame lock for I believe TNK.

Steel is CPMS30V

It's just slightly longer than an SMF, however the blade is much wider.
Think overbuilt tank....

The work that Josh did to this knife:

Reground the Tanto to a "Chisel Tip" (The grind is PERFECTION)
The blade was media blasted.
Acid etched, and then stone washed.

The lock side was re media blasted, along with the clip.

The edge is sitting at 20DPS and it has a polished pivot.

This knife has not been used or carried since I got it back from Josh.

It's opens OK with one hamd, the detent ball hasn't even left a mark on the new finish, so it needs some working in.

Lock up is around 40% and has been forever.
Zero play in any direction.
Centering is slightly to the lock side, but a non-issue.

This is an exceptional Strider that was refinished by a very talented craftsmen.

I am asking $385.00 SOLD. That includes shipping + tracking + PP fees.

Any questions please contact me.

Thank you.

OK!!!

Any "gunk" on the blade or edge of the XM-18 is just that, some glue from cutting boxes...

I am out of Goo-Gone, I am sorry.

The edge is absolutely perfect.

Thanks.
 
XM-18 is SOLD to MonkeyWithAGun (and a razor sharp RHK!)

Thanks Jordan, and as always, thank you BF!
 
I Recieved a question regarding the blade length on the GB-FL and I should clarify this...

The GB blade length is 4-1/6.
After the regrind it's right on 4 inches.

So it lost a 1/16 of an inch in blade length, otherwise known as "nothing" !
