The slicer grinds in them selves are very robust. And still have a thick enough tip for light to medium prying tasks.
 
3" Slicer non flipper because the blade is actually thin enough to slice, the 3.5" blade stock is too thick to actually slice well.
The 3.5" & 4" will be a Spanto Flippers because I will be doing some hard cutting & prying if I ever had to & it would do it with no problem because the very thick stock & tip.

Idea...could you / would you (if ever a spare minute presents itself) play with fire themed serrations. I know it won't ever exist, but would still like to see it.

Fire themed hey? I can give it a go. If you draw a pic of the blade edge I'll give it a go but not wanting to look like I know better than the talent of Mr Hinderer, this is just a bit of fun.
 
"NEW" ADDITION...Jeff--My Lanyard "pimp"
Turned a HINDERER ZIPPER PULL into a KEWL

LOVE IT....................
 
That looks really cool. BTW, it seems we're knife twins. :thumbup:

Don't worry about it...I was kidding a bit. It would be cool to see, but serves no real purpose, your comb grind would be more useful.

The bead looks brass in that photo.

Had me thinking how sweet a patinaed brass bead would look with FDE scale....I'm thinking..:cool:

You guys have good taste...I like the FDE.

Really like the rare FDE finished XMs. I know that's a lot different than a G10 scale, but I brought it up anyway.:D
 
Hey ya,
Noob here to the forum. Just got a XM-24 Spanto Gen 4. Awesome knife but havent used it much cause the wife doesnt know I have it, yet. I got the spanto cause I figured if Im gonna be using the 24 it'll be heavy duty use. I think that if I had a 3" Id want a slicer cause it would be for smaller tasks. I typically EDC a CRK lg seb which is basically a slicer grind and I use it a lot. The couple of times the 24 has been in my pocket I've also carried something little smaller. I love to combo it with a protech runt or my midtech ripple. That way I feel like I got my bases covered regardless of the job or the company. Cheers, Chad

Welcome.

There is no such thing to date as a "Gen 4 XM-24". The 24 was first a small batch of just a few pieces, then a production run. The most recent / current is another production run, not another Generation.

I EDC my 24, but also pair it...with a 3.5 Spanto Flipper.

I just gave that knife away a few hours ago. :cool:
 
My 3" is a slicer grind and very nice, although just a bit small in my hand. I have a gen4 3.5" Spanto coming in Friday and I'm excited to see it. I am late in coming to Hinderer, but will have both of these in a period of a month, so I guess the "learning curve" with everything else has been worth it. I am still quite a fan of my large Classic Sebbie, however.

Spanto. Only because that's what I have on my Gen 3 3.5. I just like the look. But also, it's one beefy blade too.

I've come to the conclusion that what you have is the perfect combo. I'd also want a 24 in spanto, just in case I need a tank of a knife.
 
I've found that my slicer is just as robust for medium/heavy use with light prying as the spantos that I've used. But the slicer cuts better.

Slicer ftw!
 
I much prefer the Spanto.

my main reason for this is that I like the Hinderer because it is a tank. if I want a better slicer or something for finer work I grab a Sebenza, Spyderco, etc. (blasphemous I know but that is my train of thought)
