I'm going to post a WTB for an XM-18, and I'm going to post exactly what I want but I want to make sure that the following combo was available in the CNC ground 3.5" flipper, mostly I'm not sure about the stamp:

Tumbled blade
Stonewashed Ti
R. Hinderer Stamp on blade

I'm actually not sure of my preference between the CF and the translucent G10, but while it may be a long-shot I'm going to post a similar request for around $550.

Can someone let me know about the above exists in a non-custom?

Thanks!
 
"R. Hinderer Stamp on blade" is a Gen 2 feature, and they are all customs. $550 is doable for a Gen 3, but they usually get bought within the hour they are posted.

You'll be extremely lucky to find anything but a user (and that's not a bad thing in stonewash which shows no wear) for that price and it will most likely be in $600 neighborhood.

The price keeps creeping up. "Lightly used" (with no dings or marks) are going for about $600+ New are at about $625 and up. That' the trens I'm seeing anyway. Good luck man! :thumbup:
 
R Hinderer on the blade is ONLY available in Gen I & Gen II XM-18s and are not available with a stonewashed blade.
Hinderer on the lock side Ti is Gen III.
Gen I & Gen II sell for $1000+
 
Keep an eye out for knife shows in your area. At the last NYCKS R. Hinderer brought and sold about 40 XM-18s to the public through lottery. If you're lucky at the lottery, nothing can beat buying a brand new XM-18 (and possibly a custom one) at table price. At $550 someone will probably sell you their user XM-18. Even for the Gen 3, a brand new production XM-18 will still fetch around $700 in the secondary market.
