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

[Arabit]

You can try Bladeforums too, good deals on there sometimes

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

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.

The Spyderco Domino is out!!!

Alas, sold out from thespydercostore.com within minutes

[urbanwoodsman]

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.

Been kinda looking at microtech halo V? Any opnions on these? Don't know much about automatics except they have been legal for People with CNC where I live… Don't really want it to carry though just would like a nice auto in the collection

[DougNg]

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.

[Grumpy Mike]

I've been collecting knives for some years now… I'll start off light

[derivative666]

Nice Krein. I wanna see more. I had a pretty extensive collection myself. Begg, Martin, hinderer, Fellhoalter, onion, Elishiwitz etc… But scaled back only now have 3 Case knives. Love the old school feel of Case my grandpa and dad carried them.

Giles has a bird and trout that's very similar to that Krein
