Another one
Right, so this folding knife thingy seems to develop into another AD of sorts, it is fun
The latest addition is a Rick Hinderer XM-18, 3.5" in a Spanto grind.
I held off on this one for a good while, seeing as I find it extremely ugly, but in the end I went ahead and ordered one just to find out what all the hubbub is about.
So far I think it is a good tool, not the best I have for my use, but a good tool nonetheless.
And the beast is built like a tank, it is gonna take some doing to destroy this one

I have one like this as well but the scales are stamped steel painted black with the same texture as yours - my grandfather had it with him in WWII. Also have one of the orange emergency knives like this but with the rope/strap cutting hook blade added that the military issues to some paratroopers and air crews.

Works as good as the day it was made back in the 30's.
My EDC knife is a Kershaw Ken Onion Leek Random :
I've been carrying this for about 2 years now and have had the edge touched up once at the factory and a few times at home. I have to say that their customer service is great - just dropped in and they took it in the back, touched up the edge and took it apart - re set the tension and cleaned it. Returned to me in about 10 minutes.
