This is a really helpful video. The size comparisons, specifically, were really helpful to me. The CRK, Benchmade and Spyderco comparisons gave me a perfect idea of what to expect. I was looking for a SnG/SMF comparison, but I totally get the idea from this video. Thanks!
I appreciate you making this video. It is surprising the difference between the 3 and 3.5. When I initially looked at them both side by side, I thought the 3.5 was an XM24. I have a couple 3 inch Skinny's and am thinking about getting a 3.5 Non-flipper.
i have 3.5" XM's up the wazoo.. Only one 3" and i carry that little one since 2012 every day. hardly carry the 3.5" I really need a couple more 3" because that it the perfect knife period.
Completely agree, two very different knives. I prefer the 3.5 as it feels like an absolute tank but also carries well. It is the perfect size for me. To me, the 3 inch is fine but just feels small and unsubstantial in hand.
what angle did you sharpen the xm-18 3'' with the glow-in-the-dark g10? the bevel on that is so wide and mirrored, i might do the same on my WE @Randy Johnson
Besides the handle length, blade length and thickness they are the same. Same handle scale design, same hardware, same crappy Teflon washers. For the price of these cookie cutter knives, you can get into a lot better of a knife. Sorry but he has not really come out with anything astonishing for what you pay for them. All Hinderer does is put different blades in the same handle scales. Very similar to what ADV does. These things had nothing but problems with the detents as well.

the price range is almost the same, really hard to justify the 3 over the 3.5
Love the xm 3". But i cant find a bowie bladed 3" non flipper. Do they exist? Hate the spanto and slicer grind
Randy don't know if you herd, Hinderer is now coming out with a 3 inch slip joint knife, it looks like a thinner xm-18 3 inch non flipper
Your missing a skinner xm-18 in the mix. I own one and I love it. 3.5 is my preferred.

Hinderer finally released some non-flipper XM-18s! Saw them on Knifecenter but they are all slicer grind so I'm hoping for a spanto one.
Would scoop one up if they didn't have Teflon washers. Good job with the video!
man I really like that brown digy-cam. never liked the regular digy-cam before but that looks nice. is that one for sale or is it gone already.
Or if you’re like me you are off put by the gigantic knives Hinderer makes and like the 3 inch version.
Do have any hinderer scales I would love to here from you I have a 3.5 xm18. I am looking for titanium scales and some other colored hardware
Wicked edge man

Sebenza take the crown
Where are the xm- 24's?
I got to go to monkey edge in Phoenix and handle the 3.5 In Bowie. I think if I ever bought one it would be that one.
Im looking to pick up a 3" version, does anyone know where I can find one?
What did you mean, "if anybody is interested? " Are you taking on new orders again?
I edc a 3”. I want a 3.5 skinny.
I have put away my 31/2"'s and now just carry my 2- 3"rs...lighter, easier to flip, and to carry.
I every day carry hinderer xm-18 3 and zero tolerance 0450.easy carry,
Nice
Spyderco doesn't hold a candle when it comes to durability versus Hinderer..... end of story
And Hinderer doesn't hold a candle in durability to a full tang fixed blade.

Oh man, that jade g10 3” is so sexy. 😍
That's translucent green, Jade is a much darker shade of green.
