That beadblasted Gen 2 is awesome Tjc591. I love the R. Hinderer etched into the blade. I need to get a Gen. 2 someday. Congratulations. Great pictures also!
Thank you Joe.I love the hunt. I honestly have no idea what I will look for next. Im very content right now. I did order a steel flame investigator pen a few days ago, a new copper bead, and a copper lenslight. As far as knives go I am going to sit back recoup funds for a few months and see what excites me the most in the meantime. Probably something with a custom grind and a working finish I would imagine but we will see.

^ beautiful knives and great pictures! That smooth ano scale is killer. Looks like that blade was stropped by the previous owner maybe?
I have noticed that on many brand new XM's. I think it happens from the sharpening process. I've noticed the same on mine as well, and in pictures of others
Heat generated will sharpening
By the way your XM looks badass!!
And your knife is perfectly fine
