Hey BF,

I recently purchased a XM-18 that has a black DLC coated blade, handle and no forward choil. It is an amazing knife, by far the best I've ever hard. Now, I'm wondering how rare is it for companies to get an exclusive like this from Rick Hinderer?

But, I see multiple are out of stock and some of the offers that they use to have are no longer listed. Doesn't this mean it is a limited time offer?
 
As of now from what I have seen, the Hinderer market is pretty soft. If you have LE DLC one like a SIG Legion or something like that, it can be worth slightly more than retail to the right buyer. If its just DLC coated then it isn't rare. Hinderer's are still released in batches I think, so just because they are out of stock, that could just mean that they haven't run that particular finish in a little while.

Ahh that would make sense(the release in batches). Thank you for your input, and yes this is just DLC coated. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something that I may come to regret. I'm sure I'm not the only guy who has waited to purchase something just to find out you missed out on it.
 
That was our exclusive and it took some time to come to fruition. We didn't receive that many total knives, around 275 and of that only a portion were DLC coated. Once we are out of this knife they will be done, we won't run another batch with the same combination. I also doubt someone else will want to put together the exact same project.

Besides our knife I have seen Monkey Edge, TAD, and SIG have their own knives.
