XM-18 next run?

mfrey · Jul 25, 2011

Does anyone have a scoop on when the next run of XM-18s will hit retailers?

jspaxton · Jul 25, 2011

I don't know about the XM-18 run, but know they were working on xm-24's last week. I would like to get an xm-18 now myself.

I'm not in the military or anything so where can I buy one ?

Popsickle · Jul 26, 2011

late this month early august from what i understood from an email before.
im actually considering getting an 18. got my xm24 a week ago

Rob Orlando · Jul 26, 2011

We are working on a batch of XM-18 3.5" right now, they are still 4-6 weeks out.

jspaxton · Jul 26, 2011

Are they going to be made of S35VN steel?

That would be ideal

did i already miss out on the run of 24's?

motojg · Jul 27, 2011

Or production slicers?

Varga Knives · Jul 27, 2011

Production slicers??? Now, that would be nice.

SO im guessing that I missed out?

jspaxton · Jul 28, 2011

I know I got an XM-24 two weeks ago, so you may have missed the run

tundratrader · Jul 29, 2011

Rob any hint on the steel. I have had great luck with duratech 20cv and the CTS-XHP. Do you think the s35vn is better?

kadinh · Jul 29, 2011

I personally have liked XHP a lot.

Popsickle · Aug 1, 2011

i would love to know the blade steel on this run

jspaxton · Aug 5, 2011

I can't wait until there is a run of 3" xm-18. Then I would have a smaller one for my pocket and the XM-24 for my work bag/car.

Lapp_Dance · Aug 7, 2011

I too am hoping to get in on the XM-18 3.5" run. Guess I'll subscribe to this thread for additional details/updates.

BTW, Rob, thanks again for your fast email replies.

Do online vendors usually jack up the prices on hinderers or are they pretty close to the manufacturer retail prices?

THIS ONE.

It's very sad

I did notice that. Usually MSRP is higher than what you find in the store, but it's the other way around with the Hinderer knives @ dealers.
