Nice, I really want a Bowie.... like the orange stone wash combo

I like the bowie grind too. My xm-18 bowie is one of my favorite flippers. Its gen 4 but its action rivals my xm-18 skinny slicer.

Good to hear the action is solid. I get different answers everytime on the gen 4 Bowie. I guess I everyone is different.

I'm digging it, it's got pretty decent flipping action and it matches my bag Probably get reground if it hangs around very long though...full flat with a more defined swedge looks pretty sweet in my head

Here is my older XM-18 Spanto. Not sure what "gen" it is, don't know how to tell. I just bought a gen 2 Eklipse 20cv last night but won't get it until next week so no pics.

It is a Gen4. Gen3 would have the stop pin on the other side of the pivot and externally held in place by a screw. Gen3's cannot be choil-less due to where the stop pin hits the blade (this is of course the "closed position stop pin", as XM's have blade mounted "open" stop pins). Gen5 would of course have the lock-bar insert, and Gen6 the TriWay pivot.

Gen3 here - note the stop pin location and screw

Gen4 for comparison

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info.

My pleasure - I figured the info might be useful for anyone looking into XM's that didn't already know.

So I picked up my first hinderer a couple days ago, Tri Way XM-24 Spanto working finish/battle blue. I found a blue Ti scale at Arizona custom knives, unfortunately not battle blue, but XM-24 Ti scales are hard to come by and I’m digging how it looks.



I was never a Hinderer fan but once I had the XM-24 in my hand I knew I wanted more so in the last couple days I picked up these two on the exchange, yeah I can see this becoming an expensive obsession.

Tri Way XM-18 3.5” Skinny stonewashed black DLC




Tri Way Full Track stonewashed spearpoint




Hopefully this will hold me over for a while, but I’m thinking that’s a no.

The vintage XM-18 3.5 Bowie landed (thanks, DLT !). Yeah !!! Haven't been as excited about a knife for a while .... Just saying
