Love that black and orange combo. Looks really good.

Thanks! It came with a black scale and that was kinda boring to me, so I picked an orange scale up off the exchange and couldn't be happier!
The DLT exclusive is definitely a keeper. Put a new edge on it at 22 DPS.
ETA Looks like I need to get rid of some left over marker on it. After that, perfect.

Yep, a huge improvement. My Eklipse and Half Track came very sharp the whole length of their blades, so I haven’t bothered with sharpening them yet. Of course, they aren’t as sharp as this one is now.Oh yeah . I guess that makes mine 21° DPS.
Or maybe the same. My 22° setting is closer to 20 when it hits the actual blade. That is what I used.
Either way . Huge improvement and easy to keep deadly sharp on the strop.

Thank you! I have no fixed blade knives, so I can't comment on that. I do really like the non-flipper that I have. It's a really great knife and I was surprised at how smooth it was when I got it. Whatever you decide, by the choices you have, you'll have a very nice knife. I do want to point out that if you're looking for the exact knife that I have, DLT only has one left in stock at the moment.I must admit, I've been contemplating a hinderer for the past few days after seeing your photos of the non-flipper xm DRLyman.
Now I am trying to decide; do I buy the xm18 or the fixed xm 18.
I started as a fixed blade guy but have been getting into folders lately. I live in Australia so edc doesnt affect me or else i'd pick the xm18 easily.
If anyone has owned the fxm and any hinderer fold and could share some thoughts, i would appreciate it!
Thank you! I appreciate thatAwesome edge DR !
