      Lol. No shit eh? Those xm-18 are pretty steep. They worth the $200+ over a sebenza?

      Thx Blackheart. The green version looks pretty sweet as well

        Hinderer makes a very nice knife and if you can get one direct being Military-LEO-FIRE-EMT it is well worth the money. If you have to pay dealer/grey market. It is just like anything else. You have to decipher how bad you really want/need it. I have spent more then my fair share on Hinderer. They are extremely hefty and it's nice to have. Is it better more practical than CRK. I don't think so.

                  3.5in and 3in XM-18 - $385+$7 shipping direct from Hinderer
                  XM-24 and Eklipse - $425+$7 shipping

                  You can score them at this price during one of the flash sales on their website or at a knife show lottery.

                  This site sells them for retail but it's rare.

                    I was actually referring to the rarity of the titanium scale, though perhaps that's no longer an issue.

                    Think it, be it.

                      But most dealers charge 0.5-1.5x the direct price.

                      Some dealers are less of an asshole than others though.

                      BladeHQ had a couple Eklipses up this week for $650

                      ...where as GPKnives had a couple up for $850

                        I've seen a couple for sale at around $400. They're $200 retail I think.

                        I feel like the Hinderer team creates the hype by limiting production.

                          No way I'd plunk that much down for a Hinderer. IMO there are better knives out there in that range.

                              I'd say Curtis too, if you want the Spanto blade. Full titanium, really good flipping action, early lockup… Great blades.

                                thanks to the man @derivative666 for introducing me into CRK and showing me his compilation. I now may have to get a sebenza (21 or 25) for myself 😠

                                …thanks Jeff, i officially hate you now! 🙂

                                  Thanks @mclaincausey  for the Ohta Slip-joint (and @derivative666 the original owner)

                                  This is the same actual knife

                                        You will hate him now, but you will thank him later. The Sebbie is the perfect knife in so many ways.

                                          that's the first things thought when he handed it to me! @Anesthetist
                                          really felt perfect! had the perfect size and the perfect weight imo…
