  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

Lets see some Hinderer action

What blade steel is 01 comparable to ?

Depends on tempering, I guess. Various threads here on BF comparing it to 52100, among others.

I love the fact that it's parkerized. Don't like the "sticky" feel of DLC, typically, but this one will be different.

It also means, I think, that Gen 6 20CV/M390 Bowies are around the corner :)

Hey does anybody know what size Allen key fits the screw for the lockbar insert on the 3.5 xm?

That looks amazing!!! Color me impressed!
Thanks! I can't claim the design, I just made it happen :) he wanted the bowie transition on the spine different than stock (pushed further back towards the stud) with the swedge. We were originally gonna do a compound grind but ended up going with a hollow instead.
 
DLT is going to put a HURTIN’ on my bank account.
New 3.0 XM-18s on the way next week. Good grief Rick, make it stop.
 
Thanks! I’ve signed up for those notifications numerous times and seem to rarely get them... Good looking knives. Think I’m gonna hold out for more Bowie’s though.
