well i just got this in a trade and am in love. this has to be one of the best grip's i have had the pleasure of holding. it seem's to weld to my paw. i really didn't know much about rick's work. i had read about him in blade, and seen a few ad's in there also over the year's. this is my first real experience with his work. i could not be happier with this knife. i took it to work with me friday and saturday just to see how well it performed at my job. i have to say it seemed up to the task's at hand. here are a few pic's of it in use.

this is right before i got started. pic with my trusty 301 i have had since 07.

i have to say the balance of the xm is very nice. not to tip heavy, just enough to give it a nice forward feel.

the grip is also very well thought out on this knife. i had no problem with it sliding at all. here are two shot's to show how well it stay's in place.

i also really like how well it ride's in the pocket. not to tight of a fit, but just enough to keep it secure. also a shot with old faithful.

Get two, then use one. Makes it so much easier. I didn't hesitate to use my first, but it's not a bad idea for those not wanting to use their grails.

For me, the XM was the knife I had been seeking for a very long time. It was right for me, so my first went into action day one, moment one, when I scored it at Blade 2011.
 
Nice Hinderers hard at work, I took these yesterday in the garden tying up tomatoes and cutting twine and sharpening stakes.

Can you tell I already started with a shot or two?? Evidenced as my sentence began to lose focus at the end? What the heck is "I paths"? :D

Your invitation is generous and noted. Should our paths cross, thirsty we will not be. :thumbup:
