I have a Rick Hinderer XM-18 framelock with a titanium handle slab, a textured blue/black G-10 slab, and a satin-finished S30V spanto blade for sale. Rick is one of the top established makers of tactical/utility folders, and his work is well known for its sturdy build and tight tolerances. The XM-18 is his most popular pattern, and with its beefy oversized stand-offs and 3/16" thick blade, it is probably his toughest-built model, too. This particular piece has the titanium half-liner on the non-lock side of the handle.
The XM-18 listed here has been carried and used lightly, but it has never been resharpened, and its original edge from Rick is very sharp. There are a few light scratches at the tip of the blade. The action is very smooth, and knife opens easily with a flick of the thumb. I uploaded a video here to demonstrate the action. The lock-up is rock solid, and the blade centering is dead perfect. The original box is included.
***SOLD***
The specs:
Condition: Carried and lightly used
Blade length: 3 5/8" from tip to handle
Overall length: 8 1/4"
Blade thickness: 3/16" at ricasso
Blade material: S30V
Blade finish: Handrubbed flats, satin grinds
Edge: Plain
Handle slab material: Blue/black G-10, textured
Lock: Titanium frame lock, beadblasted
Backspacer: 3 oversized stand-offs, satin finished
Clip: Titanium, beadblasted, interchangeable between tip up and tip down carry
For payment on this piece, I can take USPS money orders and PayPal (add 3% to cover most of the PayPal fees). I can also take a personal check if I know you. If you are paying by PayPal, the payment has to be sent with a PayPal-confirmed address (including the green "confirmed" marker) listed in the invoice, and I will only ship to that PayPal-confirmed address. I reserve the right to wait for payments to clear before I ship.
I will consider trades (with appropriate cash adjustment) for custom folders and certain custom balis. I am especially interested in the following makers:
JL Williams
Charles Marlowe
Tim Galyean
Deryk Munroe
Jim Smyth
Kit Carson
Jim Burke
Gerry McGinnis
DB Fraley
Bob Lum
Mike Snody
Sal Manaro
Scott Cook
Ernie Emerson
Rick Hinderer
Matt Cucchiara
Todd Begg
Tom Mayo
Neil Blackwood
Ken Onion
Phil Boguszewski
Flavio Ikoma
I may consider trades for other custom folders or balis not listed above. However, I am not interested in serrated blades, production knives, or fixed blades other than those by John Young or Russ Andrews.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
