Rick Hinderer XM-24 4.0" HARPOON Spanto S45VN, Tri-Way, Battle Blue, Translucent Green G10 Knife

The XM-24 is known the world over as one of the toughest tactical folders regardless of your mission. Rick’s focus when designing the XM-24 was a no nonsense tactical tool ready for the simplest cutting tasks to high speed low drag operations. The XM Series CNC flat ground Spanto blade is the best of both worlds offering maximum cutting potential in a blade that has a durable tip for prying; the blade thickness on a 4.0? XM-24 is a full .165? retaining its thickness right out to the tip. The oversized choil permits choking up on the blade for more precise work. The blade locks up on a solid 1/4 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. Speaking of the pivot, we make our own 17-4PH Stainless steel pivots on a new state of the art CNC turning center thus guarantying precise accuracy. The pivot is a ¼” in barrel diameter with a 3/8? head. The pivot is drilled and tapped completely through and is mated with an In house designed screw. This system makes for an incredibly strong pivot that is easy to adjust in the field. The XM folder handle shape is designed to be very ergonomic and comfortable in a wide variety of user positions. Not everyone’s hands are the same size, and also grip varies greatly, so the ergonomic handles design is great fit for all users. The textured pattern used on the handle scale is extremely grippy but does not ‘bite’ the hand during use. The 3D texture is designed to flow liquids (such as sweat, oils, blood, etc.) away from your skin and into the valleys of the texture.
