Yes sir. The first three names were bogus or absent. Then they called the fourth name, "Chris Byrd." My heart nearly stopped! So excited. It was a fantastic experience. I was able to get the knife I picked out from Rob Orlando's blade show preview. I know its just a production model and most people probably would have gone for the customs but I chose this as my daily carry knife and as a user.

So here is the knife, my hat and a Fletcher Operator 575 that I picked up right after the lottery.

And I didn't really dig the light grey scale so I bought the Blue/Black scale to put on it.

The reason that I chose this knife, was the blasted/anodized lock side. I love this look.

And Rick himself was kind enough to install my scale for me. (I consider this above and beyond). And I just happened to look behind him and I noticed the dry erase board that Rob had mentioned for daily drawings. Down at the bottom was my username. So I said, "That's my name." Everyone just kinda looked confused until I pointed out what I had seen. I waited for Rob O. to get back and he handed me a brand new Copper Investigator Pen. This thing is great.

So overall, it was an absolutely incredible first Blade Show experience. I'm so glad that I made the trip down from Memphis. It was worth every second of the drive.


I want to say thanks again to all of the Hinderer crew. It was great to meet and speak with Rob, Rob, Rick, and everyone really. From the time I spent with them today, I'd say that they are all a bunch of stand up guys. Can't wait to see everyone again.
 
Congratulations and I applaude your decision, nothing like an EDC Hinderer XM. That is love.
 
Congrats. That lock side is BEAUTIFUL, and with the blue black scale looks even better. You're one lucky fool!
 
Thanks guys. I think this knife needs some blue titanium standoffs to complete the look but i don't know if that will ever happen.
 
hah, double score. that's great!I hope my first blade eperience is as good as yours. congrads again, you've got a beautiful XM
 
Way to go! Great choice! That's a great knife that you will use and use, instead of picking something that you might just keep in a safe. Nice pen too!

Now go buy a lottery ticket on the way home because you are on a roll!
 
Congrats and fine choice! I finally got my hands on one so im sharing the excitment with you!
 
I won a custom hinderer xm-24 flipper with brown g10 and a spanto grind... I got a picture of me with hinderer at the show. He is a very nice guy.
