Well... Hello all. I've been looking at comparison articles and videos on Hinderers to other companies with similar specs on various Hinderers. My main knife had been a Spydie Para2. Now for everyday things it did the job and was really the perfect size, and for my job it was a handy little thing. But every now and then and more so recently i've needed something with a little more heft but not an ugly monster. So after searching high and low and much much research, I stumbled upon Rick's work. Not only are his designs fuctional and hefty but beautiful and refined. The 3.5'' flipper matched my Para2 in size well with added beauty so the chance came to get one at a steal so i pulled the trigger.

It came in the mail Friday afternoon and i was excited to open it up. Man what a knife. I really can't imagine
carrying anything else now. I'm contemplating selling all my other folders and going Hinderer only for folders.
To add the the experience the staff at Hinderer are probably one of the best out there. Rob and Rick seem like real down to earth relateable guys. Thanks for making such a beauty. Here she is::D

Great write-up. Always fun to relive the first moment of getting a Hinderer through anothers experience.
I think we agree with you too. (-:
 
Thanks. It really is on a level all it own. Surprisingly sharp for it geometry too.
Got an Xm-24 coming down the pike now.:)

on a scale of 1 to 10. 10 being the greatest knife ever, and 1 being the greatest knife ever, the scale would be named after the XM series.
 
Wow, the 24 landed quick. Nice looking pair, how you like the size difference?


The 3.5" is perfect for edc. And the xm-24 offers a bigger sense of security but still has tons of
Utility and with the S35VN blade it's a monster slicer.
 
Here's an update:
Got my Ti scale for my 3.5 in yesterday and im quite speechless.Pics or it didnt happen right?

All i can say is it's like it should be now. Don't have a problem with how it was before but i have to say in comparison
the g-10 can't compare to the full Titanium version. And the frag pattern via Monkey Edge is a win for me. Lots of grip and it fits with my work flashlight coincidently. :) I had an issuse with blade centering at first with the G-10 version,
i had to pick between centering and flip ablility. Now oddly enough it's perfect on all fronts. Next is my 24 when those are available. What say you guys about the all TI.... by the way i got a Hinderer Pen as well. The addiction has begun.
 
Full speed ahead! Love the Ti and congrats. At the rate your going I expect you to be posting pics of your new custom by the end of the week.
 
It is well documented here that I am pro "all Ti". Especially when it's textured. Very nice looking stuff, you have there.
I await the Gen 4 3.5 textured Ti so I can compliment by 24.
