Product Reviews
The Hinderer XM-18 3" Harpoon flipper is an excellent edc knife for me. KnifeArt listened as I worked through my issues for my first flipper knife, making informative comments along the way. The result was I felt good about my decision and wonderful now that I have the knife. Really, the knife expert I spoke to could be a professional listener.
Bought this one as a gift for a friend. Great knife. The Spanto blade is what helped me make the decision for him. It's a tough, rugged blade that will definitely get use in the construction field.
What an awesome and beautiful knife! The fit and finish are excellent and I really like the overall design. I know many people like a tip-up carry, but it's nice to have the option for tip-down (there are pros and cons to each, IMHO). I also appreciate that the 3" size is somewhat less intimidating than, say, my Strider SnG, or Chris Reeve Large Sebenza. Both are excellent knives in their own right and fun to carry, but sometimes I get worried glances from co-workers or family members when use one of those larger knives in their presence, so I appreciate the somewhat more less intimidating appearance of this Hinderer while still being a usable size for most tasks. That being said, I definitely hope to add a 3.5" spanto to my collection as soon as I have the chance. My main caveat would be that the action is a little tight to easily "flip" and the detent is very strong, but I expect these to settle in with use. I also am compelled to mention, as always, that the service in general from everyone at Knife Art is exemplary. Thanks!
