Hello all. I am glad to report that I am back among the Hinderer Herd. A little back story first. I originally had an XM-18 3.5 Spanto, flipper. I carried it for a bit, but just couldn't love it. For whatever reason we just didn't click. Like taking out a super pretty lady, and finding out you have nothing in common. I sold my XM-18 and purchased the XM-24 Slicer, flipper. That knife was fabulous. I loved it and carried it often. As happens to many of us, another knife came up and I foolishly sold my XM-24. Almost as soon as I sent the buyer his package I regretted it. That is one of the very few knives I ever regretted selling.

Fast forward to Christmas night. I'm cruising the exchange ads and I see "IT". A sterile blade XM-18 3.5 inch slicer/flipper in Duratech 20V. I REALLY liked everything about it. A great EDC size, my favorite grind,the slicer, a flipper, and the super deal maker, 20V steel. I made an offer, he accepted, payment sent, knife sent. Perfect transaction.

I got the knife today. Smooth as butter opening. Strong detent. Decently sharp. I just LOVE the Hinderer XM line. I have many mid to high end folders, including a Jeremy Robertson El Patron flipper, but the XM's are super. I WON'T make the mistake of selling this one. It is possibly my perfect EDC. Thanks for reading the ramblings of a fanboy. :-)

I have done the same thing. Sold a 3.5" spanto only to buy a slicer in 6 months. Welcome back!
 
While knife ownership has never been a prerequisite for participation..... Congrats on the knife and welcome back.
 
Welcome back vegas! I had the opposite problem...got my first xm...a 24...then sold off every single non hinderer I owned for more hinderers!! I gasp alittle when I hear of ppl selling off their only xm!!! ;):D welcome back brotha, nice choice! Pics??
 
Nice to have you back Vegas! But just as Rubi said... you're always welcome here :)

Sounds like you picked up a sweet XM! We need some pics bro!!

And I'm kind of in the same boat as Cooldaddy... I sold almost all my other non hinderer knives to increase my hinderer herd!! Yes, yes we're all addicts of a wonderful brand and product!
 
Orale! Welcome home brother.

I have made a similar mistake with my first XM. Learned my lesson quick, when so many other knives just aren't on the same level as a Hinderer.

Get some pics posted up!
