      My fatherland, Australia, has ridiculous 'safety' policies on knife use and knife carry.  Along the lines of anyone over 16 who is carrying a knife can be fined on the spot for $1000, or issued with a subpoena and face a fine of up to $14,000, which of course gets worse… If you are within 20 metres from a pub or bar the fine doubles in all aspects...  Oh, did i mention that any knife that can be opened with one hand is completely illegal, and considered a lethal device?  No, not a tool, a weapon...

      Despite this, I still get kicks out of my Spyderco Delica 4 FFG at home!!

              Is my best bet for picking up an xm18 eBay or is there better places out there?

                  Hinderer group on Facebook, blade forums, USN, do not buy on eBay!!!  Best bet is if you know someone who is The following CURRENT/ACTIVE personnel can order direct from him:
                  MILITARY – LEO – FIRE – EMT – EMS
                  Knives
                  Production Models:  XM-18 3″  $385  -  XM-18 3.5″ $385  -  XM-24 $550
                  Hand ground Customs at shows vary in prices due to finishes, etc.  XM-18 3″ and 3.5″ start at $550

                    You may wanna check out www.polizeibedarf.ch
                    Ivo Sturzenegger is a nice guy and known to the knife community. He has CRK, ZT, Hinderers and many more. last time i asked for the xm18 3.5 he had a waiting period of 4 months. I have now a zt 561 hinderer i found in a zurich knife shop so i am done for the moment.
                    Get in touch with Ivo and check his page out. They are mentioned as international dealers on Rick Hinderers webpage.

                              I was eyeing that knife because I wanted a Spyderco flipper but just don't want to spend the $200 right now.

                              Howes has it.

                                  They're really awesome. I used to have a decent collection of Halo 3's

                                  They're not the most practical though. If you get junk inside of them, you REALLY don't want to take them apart

                                  Also, customer service is non-existent/evil

                                  They won't service a knife that has been modified.

                                  Sharpening is considered modification

                                    Nuttin' fancy Tat but this is my only automatic rig and I love it.  The release and safety are one button, you press down and then forward to unleash the beast, with action that kind of jerks your hand it's so significant… pretty ingenious mechanism.

                                          First production piece I've bought in a long time but couldn't help myself. Spyderco really does a great job.
