Ha Ha, I just scored TWO XM-18's 3.5'' flippers. Just wanted to share the good news, and no they did not come from sleezbay. I also did not have to refinance the house either. They should be here by next week, so I'll have pics inbound then. Brand new XM-18's stonewashed finish flippers mmmmmm. I'm up to 3 now.:D How do you guys like yours. Lets see some pics to tide me over.
 
2 XM-18s that's what $1880, what a SCORE! You must be RICH!

Anyways congrats, I'm up to 3 as well, 3.5" flipper and non, and a 3" flipper. Just need the non 3" and my collection will be complete (well except for the Fatty and XM-24s).
 
Yes its true I have more money than anyone else on earth:D, and I paid 20,000 apiece what a deal.:eek:
 
They are awsome knives, I just wish they were readily available for the $385 the website shows instead of the inflated $900 they are going for. I will never own one at that price ! All I know is my sebenza will do anything these will at less than half the price the xm-18's are going for. To all those that have one, congrats. They look to be awsome knives nonetheless......
 
In all seriousness, I would not pay the inflated price either. That said I did trade a HK P30L for one. But I got the HK used and under 600.00, so no real loss. I got the new ones for 475.00 I wont keep any secrets about what I paid, I thought I did well on those.
 
@nyefmaker if you look around you should be able to find them for significantly less then the fleebay prices. I don't know but I'm guessing atony got his from a dealer that had some available recently, at $475 a pop. If you look and wait there are some dealers that sell for list. I got both my 3.5" at list price early this year. I got my 3" for $475 which was more then I wanted to pay but I was impatient for a change.

Just keep looking on the various forums (not this one since I never see XM-18s here) and keep an eye out for the various dealers, you may have to wait 6-12 months but you should be able to find one for a reasonable price.

How ironic is it that the sebenza is the 1/2 price knife in that post? It usually people saying "Knife X does the same thing as the Sebenza for 1/2 the price!". :D
 
I love mine.

At $475, thats a great price. Something that is hard to find, you dont mind spending a little more, and you only spent $90 over list price, so thats not bad at all. It's tough to swallow sometimes when you hear of people spending $900 on these though. I really like the design and look to be of the same high quality as a sebenza or strider, so your getting a quality item for the money. Its just ashame they are not more readily available so more of us could enjoy them. Great Pick Up, I will not be able to look for one until after the holidays though. Congrats to all that have one. I like that so many different handle colors are offered. That yellow one is truely awsome.
 
Yeah the yellow rocks. Here is the only one I have at the moment or until Tuesday anyway.
