Hi All,

Did anybody use Ontario XM-1 Extreme Military folder? If yes - appreciate your comments on it's lock and n690 steel.
 
My friend carried one while serving in Iraq and sill carries it.

It was issued to him as part of a trial either before he was deployed or after he reached the middle east. His knife has the govt serial number on it.

It's an excellent knife , opens easy, a little thicker than it appears in pictures. The black finish has held up pretty well on the handle. It's made in Italy by Fox ( I think Fox). It locks up solid and I believe it has nylon washers at the pivot.

My friend promised to buy me one the next time he's at the PX in West Point.:)
 
I wanted one, until I got a chance to actually hold one. Built like a tank, but one chunky son of a gun!!
 
Thanks a lot for the info!

I gonna take it from KW (unfortunately they do not have in black finish). Will post my impression once get it.
