   Congrats on a nice knife. I've got an XM with the same Blue/Black scales. Never get tired of seeing the XM pictures.
   When I first got my XM-18 Striders were still in my EDC rotation, then less Strider and more Hinderer. While I still like my Striders,... my EDC rotation consists of 100% Hinderers now. Feel naked leaving the house without them. The more I hold and use my XM-18, the more I like it.

   I Hear ya Kraig!  I own two XMs and 2 flashpoints.  They are the ultimate EDC knife!  I am really hoping to get one of the new XM-24s.  That thing just looks like a beast.

   Received my XM-24 (S35VN blade) about a month ago and have used it as my EDC since.  Lots of heavy cutting chores on a fishing boat, some small, some very heavy...this XM is amazing!  I wish I could stay dedicated to my Striders but in all honest I cannot. 

   Reliability is 'King' with me where cutting line, rope, etc. are concerned as a matter of safety.  One might think if that is such an issue, why not use a fixed blade?  Well, when you have to bend and contort all day on the job sometimes a fixed blade doesn't 'cut it' (no pun intended) insofar as comfort is concerned.  For some reason, with me, a folder clipped to my pocket poses no comfort issues in the area of being obtrusive, but their is always that fear in the back of my mind which I am sure many of you feel too...  With this XM's build quality and form that fear is gone.  It affords the security of a fixed blade when in my hand more so than any other folder I have ever held.  That's peace of mind. 

   I'm nuts about this tool!  It cleans up well too.  For what its worth a big salute to Rick and Rob for a job well done.  The BEST...second to none.

    pingpongchamp, you are quite correct, the 24 IS a beast.  But it's a beast like a Porsche or a Rolex.  Handles extremely easily for its size.  Rotation and lock-up, well... as you would expect.  'Nuff said.
