A little off topic, but with all the talk of folders lately, I was thinking of doing a XM-18 passaround. I'm just wondering who here would be interested. I've never done a passaround before, so I'd need some help from someone here that's done one before. I'd limit it to the Hogs here that frequent this forum, and say maybe a half a dozen to 10 or 12 people. (It's my EDC so I don't know how long I can go without it ;) ).

I put an email into Rick to see if he could freshen it up before going out since I use it daily and it's shows. :D Is this something you guys would be interested in? Post here and let me know, and we'll go from there I guess. Thanks guys!

Edit: I would like to keep this one CONUS guys, at least for the time being just to keep down on the shipping time frame.

Edit 09/17/07- Here's the list. The passaround rules and info can be found further down the thread. (Page 2. I just didn't feel like copying and pasting everything. :) )

1. Tyrkon -info received
2. xaman -info received
3. Lunde -info received
4. Ken44 -info received
5. Mulder
6. Guyon -info received
7. Lazlo Hollyfeld -info received

I'd be interested in checking this out, but might I suggest that you do the "freshening up" after getting it back.

I think before and after would be a good idea. I could send it as is, but I'd like people to see it the way it looks new and cleaned up. That way we could also actually see how much use it gets on it's way "through the trough" so to speak when the passaround is over. :D

Edited to add, I'm not too worried about it getting a good workout. It's a strong folder and I think it's up to the use that a bunch of Hogs to do.
 
I would love to get a chance to handle an XM-18 !

Held one at Blade and thats it.

Count me in if you do it. I'll take very good care of it.
 
Dan,

I would be interested in having the XM-18 for a few days.
I've got a passaround going now as does "on_the_edge.
Feel free to contact me for info.

Thanks for the opportunity,

I did the last passaround of the XM18. Great blade, and worth checking out. Good on you MD13 for doing this.:thumbup:

I think your passaround and review was one of the things that urged me to get the XM. I do remember reading your review, I just can't remember if it was before, or right after I got the knife. :thumbup:

Did you get the PM I sent the other day Tyrkon? I gave you first dibs on the passaround. :D

Dang it. I tried to send a PM to someone and it said my box was full and I needed to empty it out first. I wan't paying attention to what I was doing and ended up deleting all my messages. :( But I have lost of room now.

Thanks for the "First Dibs". I'll take it. :D I have been hunting high and low for one of these but they are always sold out and/or have a waiting list. :(

Thanks. :)
 
I'd like to see and handle an XM-18 in person. :thumbup:
 
I would be very interested in an XM18 passaround.
I've wondered how it compares to my EDC Spydies.
Bonus that it wouldn't have to travel very far from your house to mine.

Not a problem. You were what promted me to want to do this with your folder thread. :thumbup:

Unfortunately for most, as noted, these aren't easy to come by if you're looking for one. It's too bad because it's a great knife and Rick does great work. When you do come across them, they're not cheap (secondary market). I figure at least this way, we can get a bunch of people who may not be able to otherwise, get a chance to handle one. I put a WTB thread in the exchange, and waited. Fortunately for me, a fellow member had one. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. :D

I'm glad this is generating some intrest. All who have posted so far will get to handle the XM. :thumbup: Keep'em coming guys.

I just got a reply from Rick, and I'll be sending the knife to him most likely tomorrow for a good clean-up and once over before this passaround starts. :D Look for this to start relatively soon, and I'll be posting all the appropriate info and creating a sign-up list. We'll get the ball rolling and let people have a chance to handle a great folder. :thumbup:
