Rick Hinderer knives

[Ratman79]

I have a 20cv xm18 3.5--gen 4 but (as far as I know) there are not any gen 4 3" XMs around. Take a look at the Gen 2 Eklipse--they have a 20cv blade standard. Other than the choil-less m390 3.5s, the XM series is s35vn

Thanks.
Is the XM-18 3" flipper the only 3" Hinderer made currently?

They don't make non-flipper 3" currently if that's what you mean. They only recently re-released some non-flipper 3.5" slicers, which they hadn't done in a long time. It's possible that they may do that with the 3" ones, but I've heard no news to that effect as of yet. We can only hope...

Gen 2 3" is the same as Gen3 3.5", Gen3 3" same as Gen 4 3.5". They started making the 3"s latter. Gen1 3" are only customs.
I was able to pick up a Gen 1 3" spanto non flipper last week, but haven't taken photo's yet, but here is my Gen 2 3"slicer non-flipper.
Keeping with the theme of this thread-my spanto custom cost less than the production slicer

am I the only one that would rather have a ZT Hinderer? then the real McCoy?

Not the only one. But close!!
