My first XM-18! :)

Heartland_edc · Jan 10, 2016

Just wanted to show off my very first Hinderer XM-18 (gen 4, 3.5 inch.) After a long 2 weeks of trading and a little extra $, I finally got all the parts and colors I wanted. Let me know what you think! I couldn't be happier

I think that is sweet as hell and we have very similar taste. Here is my very first Hinderer. It is an XM-18 Skinner with the same set up!

Congrats on the Hinderer!

Congrats!

I've been eyeing these myself. I just picked up a southard avo instead but this may be next!

They are nice! Heavy duty in all the right places without being too bulky IMHO

I carry a 3.5 slicer grind myself.

Congrats, I love that pocket clip , where did you find it? I currently have the 3.5 gen 4 Bowie but I feel the itch to grab one of those skinners starting to grow

That is a beauty, nice set up. Love the xm's.

rcb2000 · Jan 11, 2016

Very nice, congrats on that!
I think it's only a matter of time and money before I have one in my hands.

Thanks! I managed to find the clip here on the forums. I just kept digging into old threads until I found one with a clip that went untraded/sold

Love the knife, and I really like that clip too.

Grandmaster · Jan 11, 2016

In want to mod mine, could you please tell me where did you bought the parts?
thanks

I bought the scale and all the bronze hardware except the bronze nuts from the hinderer site. The nuts I had to trade for, along with the crusader clip and bushido filler tab. I couldn't find them for sale anywhere online.

Congratulations! That looks great! I like the clip. With mine, I decided to leave the default clip and order a custom scale to include the Steel Flame cross.

How did the edges come on yours? Got one for Christmas and it did not come very sharp at all. Been giving me fits working on the edge too.

netguy1999 · Jan 11, 2016

Mine came incredibly sharp. The weight of the knife alone will cause it to cut cleanly through a piece of paper.
