Specifications
Description
The XM-18 is known the world over as one of the toughest tactical folders regardless of your mission. Rick’s focus when designing the XM-18 was a no-nonsense tactical tool ready for the simplest cutting tasks to high-speed low drag operations. The “Slicer Grind” blade grind design was to address a need for a blade style that will not only have high strength built into the blade for heavy use cutting but also to have the ability to perform fine slicing chores better than other blade grinds and styles such as the spear point and drop point style of blades. The blade locks up on a solid ¼ in diameter Thumb stud which is press-fitted into the blade. This makes for a very strong lockup as there is no loosening of the thumb stud which can happen with two-piece designs. The fact that the thumb stud locks up against the frame adds an incredible amount of strength to the sideways torque of the blade as the sideways stresses are being stopped by the whole handle side, thus relieving the stress that would normally be put on the pivot.
This specific knife is the XM-18 3.5″ stonewashed Slicer CPM 20CV steel blade, stonewashed titanium handles, and a OD Green G-10 scale.
