Got one today.
Two things.
1. The knife arrived and it was killer. However it had some detent issues etc. So I sent it back for an exchange and DLT has been the bomb. It's certainly a rare occurrence.
2. The Smooth CF Scale I ordered from another vendor was actually out of stock.
So I'm empty handed for now. The replacement will arrive around next Thursday
I'm going to go with Battle blue, working blade and Translucent Green Scale.
I'm going stir crazy
Just got mine in today, stonewashed blade, blue ti with translucent scale, and it's awesome. I have a gen 4 spearpoint sitting next to it and can't believe how much thinner the grind is on this swear point. Trying to do this one knife for one year challenge with my inkosi but had to have this in my collection.
P.s.- it's definitely mine now, just cut my thumb to the bone with it!
It was on the inside of the first knuckle. I checked to make sure I had full mobility before I wrapped it up in gauze and duck tape. Thanks for the healing wishes and hopefully it will be all good to go.Yikes ... hope you didn't damage any tendons or anything to much ... and heal up quickly.
But I agree DLT hit this out of the park ... I love the new grind
I posted these in the Hinderer thread, but this knife belongs here too.
This is absolutely amazing. WOW.
I have three Hinderer XM18s now (all snapped up within the past month), and definitely see the appeal of the brand. I do need to grab one of these from DLT soon.
One of them is, and I love the action on it. Dropshut action on a big thick blade like this is pretty nice.You have to pick up a Gen6 for sure, the best Hinderers made to date!
I agree the action with the bearings is amazing. I have a gen4 non flipper slicer that is smooth as can be but it doesn’t compare to the gen6!You have to pick up a Gen6 for sure, the best Hinderers made to date!
When you guys say gen 6 action is much better than gen 4, are you comparing ball bearings with washers, or washers with washers?
I replaced my two gen 4 hinderers with polished PB washers and the action is both better now than before. They flip reliably in any directions without any wrist action needed. Not fall shut but pretty close.
Does gen 6 on washers fall shut?
