Does anyone have any thoughts on the Hinderer XM?.. Worth the money or not?..
Ask Urb he is a Hinderer fanatic

So the Delica arrived.. Opened by Customs, but was let through..
I'm really happy with it as a step up from my little Tenacious, and suprisingly it feels a lot lighter given that its a bigger knife all round, and is way more balanced. Quality feels really good, scales are super grippy, lock is positive and has zero play and im really suprised at how sharp the blade is out of the box.
Thanks Doug for the recommendations, the Cutlery Shoppe were fantastic to deal with, and really well priced. I even got a couple of lollypops thrown in
They feel light because the liners are milled and inlaid into the FRN handles. Makes for a super thin and light carry
Glad I could help

I'm a fanatic only in spirit. I'm not rich enough to spend $800 on a knife yet. They are extremely nice high quality knives but I have to settle for his cheaper designs.
I fucking love the Zero Tolerance Hinderer designs. And they're mostly around $140-250. I'll def be getting this once its out.

The Cryo, Cryo II(should be available soon) and the Thermite(should be available later this year) are all good looking knives. At the $30-40 price range, it's a no brainer for me. Perfect gifts as well, in my opinion.

Shane, once a year Rick comes to the NY/NJ area for a show and raffles off chances to buy one of his knives. You can get one directly from him for about $400

Doug, you going with us?
-
Sorry, busiest time of the year for me. Thanks for the invite
Is Rick going to that one? It's the East Coast Custom Knife Show, right? I know RJ Martin used to always attend that one.
If you want an amazing custom knife, def check out that guy
Edit: yep, looks like Rick is going to that show. Say hi for me, Rick and I have been friends for many years
-
Uh, if it's the ECCKS in NJ, the dates are 3/1-3/3, and showing up on the last day of a show is kind of a waste of time. Everything is sold out by then
3/3 is the day I am going I'm out of town until then

Spyderco Persistence?
My son keeps one of those in the emergency road kit in his car. It's a nice knife, though I have learned to dislike the steel. Doesn't take a particularly sharp edge (though it comes back to a workable edge easy) and it tends to rust. Leaving it in the car has and will continue to be an issue, because the car is cold at night then warms up when it's on, so it accumulates condensation on the blade
I think this type of steel is fine if you use it every day, not great for the purpose we bought the knife for
Edit: I'm going to modify my statement that it's doesn't take a good edge. It's takes a pretty good edge, comes with an edge that's better than most, but it doesn't get to a level of sharpness that I'm completely satisfied with. For $20 more in a Delica, you get a hair whittling edge with some work.
