I've had this XM 24 for over a year and just recently installed the Smooth Stonewashed Titanium Scale. All I can say is that this is a BEAST of a knife, feels as tough as my Randall #14
Absolutely great pictures! What a great way to start my day viewing theses first thing this morning, I'm still amazed how you get these quality pictures on the forum.
Rick and the crew have really thought the design through for add ons. Very easy unscrew all handle screws then pivot bolt, remove G10 and Ti liner repace with Ti scale and replace all handle screws then pivot bolt. Had to tweak the pivot bolt a little for re-alignment of blade and smoothness of opening.
To anyone wondering why I show food in photos, it's simple. It shows the "softer side" of these hard use folders, provides some nice colors in photos and just happens to be easier to photograph for me than in-use photos of other types.
Yeah right!When we going to see some hard use pics? I deleted my can opening pic I think, but I have other ones. Be prepared to scratch your blade though - and for that reason I completely understand the fruit, stuck in log or steak pictures. These folders are expensive, hard to get and not easily replaced.
