Blah blah blah.....
The XM18 is the result of the continued collaboration between Hinderer Knives and Triple Aught Design, which began with the original Dauntless debut in 2004. We’re very proud to feature another Hinderer Knives collaboration.
Rick Hinderer developed the XM18 design as a balance point between a gentleman’s style EDC and an aggressive tactical knife. Built with a full titanium frame for strength and a unique blade profile that blends spearpoint and tanto styles for increased utility, the Hinderer Knives XM18 TAD Edition’s overall shape also serves as an ergonomic advantage. The knife fits naturally into the hand, situating the centerline of the blade parallel to the curvature of your palm making the grip easy to leverage and control. Along with its impressive balance and incredibly robust build quality, the XM18 tackles a wide variety of tasks with ease. This edition of the XM18 is the first time that Rick Hinderer has used Robar’s NP3 finish on the blade. NP3 is a nickel based plating that is corrosion resistant, slick and incredibly tough. Adding this to the blade of the XM18 only furthers the already far-reaching abilities of this tactical knife
Features:


•Unlike many knives that utilize Titanium or G10 as an integral part of their frame lock, this knife features a full titanium frame finished with a Diamond Like Coating (DLC) coating and a G10 overlay, which creates an incredibly strong and durable platform. Combined with Rick’s signature Lockbar Stabilizer (LBS) to stop overtravel and reduce fatigue, the XM18 is a strong and durable tactical EDC.
•Rick’s superb attention to detail shines in the accumulation of small considerations. From the matte Robar NP3 finish, which reduces wear and friction of the blade, to the abundant amount of jimping on the main contact points, to the extra effort of cleanly turned down standoffs, this knife is more than a simple tool. Its balance between aesthetic, ergonomics and usefulness are evidence of Rick’s unique design foundation based on both art and tactical knives.
•Hinderer Knives are well known for their customization potential. Each Hinderer has built in features that allow the user to personalize their knife with custom screw plates, scales and/or lanyards. The pocket clip is also designed for either tip up or tip down carry with an uncommon, but visually pleasing plate insert below the Lockbar Stabilizer (LBS) that can be filled in with a custom component.
•One main purpose of a tactical knife is to be a useful tool, a concept not forgotten in this design. A traditional single-slot screwdriver pivot aids in ease of field maintenance. The flipper helps make deployment faster and acts as a protective guard to keep your grip from moving forward when the blade is open.
•This TAD Edition iteration features a nod to our Dauntless by featuring three fullers and smooth G10 on the handle, as opposed to Hinderer Knives’ usually textured handle materials.

I just got my skinner in from tad last week i was going to sell it off to a guy or gal that really likes hinderers but i'm finding myself really liking this knife not sure if i'm going to keep mine or not as of right now but they are built very sturdy that much is sure. i have firearms coated in NP3 and and as this finish wears it becomes more chrome like in its appearance exposing more of the teflon in the coating and it becomes very very slick. out of all the hinderers ever made the NP3 coated blades will absolutely have the best actions once broken in just due to that coating alone.

good luck on the sale thats a sweet knife you have there.
