XM-18s

Knife Center on YouTube posted several Blade Show vids and one was RHK. I never knew what XM stood for or what the 18 meant. XM is military for experimental model and 18 was Rick's old badge number. Very cool stuff!

Rick also said an XM-18 auto is in the works.

I hope the steering wheel is centered.

I hope it's not a "flipper".

Speaking of XM-18s. What's going on with the availability on those things lately? I'd like to get a 3" standard Gen 6 in a different blade shape but I haven't seen any anywhere in a long time. Used to have all kinds of configurations available.

as they add more and more models and configurations, it gets longer and longer for any particular batch to come up. The 3" has always been a not so frequent batch.

I'm still not sure why hinderer hasn't added texture to his titanium framelocks, he is all about traction and it seems like a missed opportunity - when compared to a hard use framelock like the ZT 0301 which has traction on it's framelock.

They're a small manufacturer, they release knives in batches and then move on to another model/blade shape. Since the pandemic, there's been more demand, whether it's due to people staying home and having more money to shop online, instead of going out on weekends, or vcations, or people having more time to shop online (more likely a combination of both). It's the same thing that's been happening to GEC and some other small batch manufacturers.
