I really appreciate your feedback JJ. Thank you.Depends on your preferences more than anything ... but I will say I really like the DLT Exclusive Swedged Spearpoint ...
I like the no choil look but I can't say it is a deal maker or deal breaker ... I sood my no choil because the choil allows me different grips with slightly larger than average hands ...
out of the knives you listed the Gen 6 Swedge Spearpoint is the best slicer IMHO ... and the Gen 6 Tri-Way pivots are just another step up for Hinderer ...
the detents on all 4 Gen 6s I have ... (2 of the DLT Swedged Spearpoint) ... are dialed in and theyfire open like a flipper should.
Pretty close to perfection.I would say go for the Swedged Spearpoint as well. It is hands down one freaking awesome knife. I swapped some blue scales onto mine the other night
I’m having a really hard time if I want to spend $215 for a Battle Black titanium scale for it..lol

Do it!! As soon as I get my free $200 in visa gift cards from signing up for Directv I am going to purchase the stonewashed black DLC scale for it and some copper hardware. Yours will look awesome all blacked out.I would say go for the Swedged Spearpoint as well. It is hands down one freaking awesome knife. I swapped some blue scales onto mine the other night

OD Green Micarta and brass screws really compliment the battle green anodizing on my swear point.
Silent H ... Hey ... I was wondering where you picked up that OD Micarta scale for your XM-18 3.5" ???
I have been considering finding a micarta scale for one of mine but I liked the look of the one on yours ... so hoping to find out where you got it?
Thanks - JJ
Mine fires open no problem push button or light switch. I struggled when I first got it but I think that was mostly because it is my first flipper and first frame lock. I think I sometimes had my finger on the lock bar which resulted in my just jamming the sharp flipper tab into my finger. My finger hurt for like 2 weeks when I first got it, but now it fires out with authority every time.Since this thread pushed me into buying my first Hinderer I'm going to bump it back up.
Picked up a 3.5" try-way spearpoint with swedge from DLT last week and have a few questions about the action. The detent is very heavy and extremely crisp. A real joy to flip using the first joint in my index finger.
Due to the design of flipper tab it's obviously not too comfortable to use the tip of your finger repeatedly (vs ZT, etc). I found the video below that shows a forum member using the often discussed method of index finger on the flipper jimping. The detent on my knife is so heavy that I have yet to be able to break the detente from closed using this technique. Detente is also too heavy to deploy via thumb studs.
I've tried the knife on the shipped bearings as well as the PB washers with no improvement. In fact, the knife won't fully deploy without some heavy wrist flick on the PB washers. Typical of other's experience on PB?
Again, with the singular method for deployment the action and detente are phenomenal but do wish I could use the flipper jimping and thumb studs to deploy.
Have yours broken in over time or did they ship with a detent that heavy?
