Lets see some Hinderer action

Maybe a dumb question but how do you close the auto knife? Can you swing the blade to close while pressing the button single handedly?

Yeah, you should give that a try first, adding a little color hardware and clip, etc, could break up the monotony of silver there. Hang onto it for a while to see what happens and if it grows on you.

I was ordering one in blue and one in working finish, and then before I could check out blue was gone and had remove it from my cart as it didn't go away automatically. That slowed me down and then when I got to the last step, after choosing payment type and hit submit, the working finish was also gone. Silver was my last choice, but then I was like maybe some blue hardware would fix that, but then those were gone too and I was stuck with working finish in my cart and no blue left to add.

I'm going to keep it. Like I said, it does seem to be growing on me. I have some spare black, blue and battle blue hardware here that I can use with the knife. I think it's just too much silver right now. I also think copper might look pretty good, too and go with the color of that stop pin (I believe that's what it's called).
They sold out so quick. I wonder if DLT had low stock or a high amount of buyers.

You can hold the button in and close the knife against your leg. That seems to work well for me. Or, just use the two hand method.

I think it had to be high number of buyers, because the once the sale opened I had two in my cart within 5 seconds, but then the site went unresponsive for a good 5 minutes of clicking on proceed with purchase. And if I switched to use Venmo or PayPal I could get through their process (QR code for Venmo or pop up for PayPal), but then the website was not getting input from Venmo or PayPal and I could not proceed.

When I switched back to a stored CC again, it was still not accepting the credit card and I re-entered a new card, which also wasn't letting me go to the next step - until I noticed the blue model was out of stock and removed the blue model from my cart. Then it let me get to the next steps of choosing a pre-stored shipping address, choosing shipping method, and choosing a stored credit card. But then when I hit the button to complete the transaction, those were sold out as well.

So, I still have the knife in my cart, but cannot pay for it. We can't add any to our cart while they're out of stock, so I just left the working finish in the cart until they get in stock, saving me a step next time.

I may not buy one anyway, as I like to be more engaged with my Hinderer knives and I can deploy with the flipper just as fast as an automatic OTS knife.
 
Anyone here is buying the DLT no choil XM-18 3"? They seem to have moved very quickly, just like the bigger bro. I hesitated but finally decided not to buy this one as I feel somehonw it is too small to my taste (never tried a 3" though).
 
Yeah wasn’t interested. Think they still have a couple available. Agree too small. Only Hinderers that seem interesting aside from the ones I own are the project x. Would like to see the fatty make a return. That model in a non flipper would be nice.
 
I'm giving the DLT 3.0 a whirl. It's one of the only Hinderer models I haven't tried, I've been trying to find a small knife that really clicks for me, and no choil + Slicer grind sounds perfect for a knife this size. :)

With three XM-18 3.5" and a Half Track, I decided to pass on the 3" for now, since I do technically have a "small" Hinderer. I might have pounced on the blue anodized one, but I just bought a Damascus Sebenza 31 and need to slow down.

The only one left is black G-10 with normal finish as of 1:30PM mtn time.
 
I thought about buying a 3” slicer. But, I think I would rather wait to find a user on the exchange and see if I can save a few bucks. I have a 3” tanto XM, and honestly it’s not a lot of knife for the money….(Plus, I just got an Eklipse in the mail yesterday, and I have a Socom Elite coming too. Time for me to chill out on the pointys until after the Holidays lol)

I had a 3” and sold it. Too small for my hands and just didn’t feel right to me.
 
Oh i still think flipper deleting this thing was my best decision ever.... Now.. what scale should I track down, any suggestions?
