Great combo, JD.
As for the XM, all gen 1's and 2's were hand-ground by Rick. The gen 1's had thinner liners on the slab side, and the gen 2's were beefier.
Don't get it twisted, though. Plenty o Gen 3's are hand-ground by Rick and they do NOT say "Hinderer" on the blade. It makes it a little harder to differentiate.
I've carried one of my Orange XM's for over a year now and think it's the Busse of folders. Hell, even Strider seems to agree, seeing as how they have licensed Rick's locking bar mechanism.
Use those in good health, bruh.
