Up for sale are a Hinderer XM-18 3.5" Slicer, Les George VECP, and Les George Talos. I am the original owner of all 3, purchased from an authorized dealer or direct from maker.
XM-18 3.5" Slicer:
Carried a few dozen times over the years but not extensively. Originally purchased December 2013. Used a bit but nothing too hard...mostly just opening the occasional package or envelope. CPM S35VN steel. This is a Gen IV. Flips open easily if you use the grooved part on the back of the flipper rather than pushing down on the top of the flipper. Also flicks open easily with thumb studs. Blade is perfectly centered, lockup is about 20-25%, very smooth and there is zero play.
This beast has a lot of extras included:
Les George VECP:
Carried maybe 15-20 times over the years. Originally purchased mid (June?) 2015. From memory I think this is a Version 3 but I cannot say that for sure. No LBS. Has the thumb groove for lockbar access on presentation side. Black DLC blade, CTS-XHP, and stonewashed titanium scales and backspacer. Still original Les George edge that is razor sharp. Comes with original zippered padded AceCase and stickers. Blade is perfectly centered, lockup is about 35-40%, very smooth and there is zero play. Price is SOLD.
Les George Talos:
Carried maybe 15-20 times over the yeras. Originally purchased December 2014. Has the Morph pattern. CTS-XHP blade. Still original Les George edge that is razor sharp. Comes with original baggie. Blade is perfectly centered, lockup is about 10-15%, very smooth and there is zero play. Price is $400.
I need to raise money for something else in my life, so NO TRADES PLEASE.
Prices listed include Priority Mail shipping within the USA and PayPal fees. I prefer PayPal payment. USA sales only please.

This beast has a lot of extras included:
- Both a Dark Green G10 (original) and Stonewashed Titanium (currently installed) scale.
- Josh at RazorEdgeKnives did a regrind. It is his standard 60 grit finish with a 15 degree per side edge. This thing is now the sharpest knife I've ever owned. I've barely used it since the regrind but did smooth out the grind a bit on my strop (the grind, not the edge).
- All bronze color titanium hardware except for the pocket clip (see pics, these are currently installed).
- Also includes original silver color hardware.
- Also includes copper standoffs and copper LBS.
- Includes extra washers and clip screws.
- Original box and all hardware baggies included.
