New Hinderer designs show some CRK influence

I am in no way criticizing, but Hinderer's new MP1 blade shape is very Insingo-like, and the handle looks like a CRK as well, although it sports several interesting new features.

His new Sherman "tank" knife looks nothing like a CRK but but falls into the same high quality beefy small blade category as the Inkosi.

MP1 looks interesting.

I like the MP1 but the Sherman is probably too small for my liking. I don't think it's too similar to the insingo blade. Doesn't have that partially sharpened top swedge. I like it though.

Other than the blade shape on one, I am not really seeing any similarities to any CRK. If anything, I think one of them looks like a MUDD- But that is my personal opinion

 

[Lone_Wolfe]

I like!

The stop pin design is similar to the last two Medford's I've bought.

I'd be all over that if it didn't have the choil.

Love that he is forging ahead with new designs/knives etc..ill always have Hinderers next to my CRKs

Icky. No interest in either.

Agreed. I've become a fan of RHK over the last few months as well. I still hold CRK in a higher regard in some aspects but am just as happy with either in my pocket at any given time

Cool, I'd love a flipper with that blade shape

I'm really looking forward to the new designs!!

Those look good. I think I still like the XM-18 better, but it might just be the shock of a new design.

I actually really like the looks of the MP1.

I've been drooling over this knife from day 1. Love it..

Im hoping that blade shape gets put on a large Inkosi/25 in the form of the INSINGO!!!

The XM-18 is a true classic. Time will tell if the new designs earn the title as well. I like the XM more currently as well.

That blade shape on an XM would sell.

I agree, an Insingo 25 would be awesome!

That blade shape on an XM would sell.

+1 on the xm insingo, best of both worlds

i really love it! But why the thumb studs? They dont act as a bladestops like the XM... And the Sheepfoot blade is great but i dont get the Insingo reference. Many makers have similar blade shapes. It is basically a "Santoku" shape in a folder.

Nevertheless i think it has potential to be great. just my opinions.
