Ok folks...we are a week and a half from Blade and WOW have we been busy at the Ranch!....This is going to be the BIGGEST Blade show ever for us...I know we have said every year that its big...but BELIEVE ME this year its huge considering the amount of knives we will have and the shear amount of different and unusual things that we will have available!...As for lottery knives..whewww...where do I start...in addition to a wide assortment of production XM's they will be available in ALL 3 sizes...we have NEVER had the XM-18 3.5, the XM-18 3in and the XM-24 offered at one show in the production version..we have been holding these back just for you guys! And the Customs that are going in are just as varied...ALL of the different blade shapes that you have seen in very limited quantities will be there AS WELL as a completely NEW Blade style that is BRAND NEW...and this one will blow you away! (we'll post a thread up about it)...
We are also going to have FIXED BLADES there! We are talking FieldTac, FXM, and the new Hinderer/TDI knife! these will not be in the lottery...we are going to sell them at the booth and will make them available at a certain time on both Friday and Saturday...we will post these times in the forum..(this will be first come first served on these so make sure you get to the booth if you want one!

Of course we are going to have ALL of the pens and accesories that we offer..including the HUGELY popular copper Investigator pen! We are well stocked up on Steel Flame merchandise as well! And lots of the new GUN UP! t-shirts!
We are also going to announce very soon a contest for those of you that will be going that will keep you coming back to the booth!!


We are also in the works with another attraction that will definitly keep you at the booth (we'll let you know on that very soon too!)


Oh and maybe,just maybe there will be a announcement of a NEW folder design...yup! after almost 6 years I am working on a completely NEW folder design..new, as in nothing like the XM series.

Also for the first year we doubled the size of our booth and will be including our new venture Hinderer Outdoor Tactical store. Another reason to stop by!

So keep a eye out on the forum here for postings and announcments! They will be coming fast and fourious!!

Thanks everyone!

Jealous i'm not living back in florida, this looks to be one crazy event. Can't wait to see pictures of all the new toys! In the meantime i'll be waiting for the online retailers to be restocked for the smaller accessories. Hope you all have a good show :thumbup:
 
This sounds amazing, and is honestly my primary reason for attending Blade this year. I'm gonna be hard pressed to walk away from the booth before getting a hold of one those TDI knives! I've been looking for one to replace my duty-carry for a while. Thanks for the update, Rick! Looking forward to meeting both you and Rob.
 
Thanks guys!...Yes, we will be restocking dealers right after the show! We have alot of products that we are just now finishing!

Yes, this years show will blow your mind!!!

It's official I am an addict.

I try to tell myself that I do not need another knife or that a Hinderer is just another tool, never convincing in any way. A fixed blade from the booth and a folder from the lotto, come on lady luck.

Thank you, Rick and crew. This Blade event it going to be epic!

Mr. Hinderer I will unfortunately be unable to attend Blade but is there any way to purchase one of your 3.5" XM folders directly before Blade? I do qualify for your direct sale program as I am an EMT/first responder.

:eek: I don't envy anyone who has to manage this - it's going to get ugly.
 
I was only going to be there on Saturday afternoon but plans might have to change depending on the fixed blade times.

Best bet for accurate information is a polite e-mail to Rob Orlando. The shop is super busy and as described, trying to make Blade better than ever. 3" should resume after blade, then 24s, then the 3.5. Shows along the way will mix that up in a fun way, but direct sales stick pretty close to current production.

In a nutshell, contact Mr. Orlando, but understand they are VERY busy lately. To find his contact info you can look to the stickies he authored. Click his name, you will figure it out from there. Happy hunting and thank you for your chosen career.
 
Here is a little sample...and I will post up more to come! This is a 3in XM-18 done up in all Titanium and with the "working"finish applied. A real BAD ASS of a little folder!

I will be attending the show for the first time... I am a huge Hinderer fan... how do I sign up for the lottery? Thanks in advance!
 
Ok, talk about tease!

Why am I in NZ????? I am so damned envious of those going to this show, the Hinderer booth is all the attration I need.

I need someone to go to the show for me as a proxy, I will control them via my laptop and camera, I will also do the talking and control the arms and gestures; any volunteers?

I need to kidnap this Rick character, keep him in an NZ knife making dungeon for a few years.........Hey Rick, any plans to visit NZ? come on......
 
Hmmmm....well New Zealand IS a beautiful country!.......:)

You can pick up your lottery ticket the day of the Lottery (friday for fridays lottery and then again saturday for saturday lottery) Get to the booth early though as they go VERY quickly!
