Hinderer XM 24 Harpoon Spanto Folding Knife - Overview and Ramble

[@greghill5183]

My favorite "new" knife is my blue/black XM24. I don't actually "carry" it very much, but it's always the knife I reach for at home. Razor sharp and so comfortable in my XXL hands! Who cares if you feel the flipper tab a little bit!

[@nickbezmaterny5567]

I would do the same exact shit. That's why we have budget knives. My hinderer would have a microfiber cloth as a bed and she'd sleep most the day in my knife shrine.

[@SkunkPunch73]

To use or not to use that is the question! Hell we are under no pressure to do anything other than what makes us happy and gives us that strange but beautiful warm feeling inside that only a knife can give. Hope the doctor doesn’t read this lol 😘👍

[@nicholasferrara9227]

Enjoy and echo your reviews and approach to these great “tools” immensely.

[@digthemlows]

while I"m waiting on a ti scale for my xm-24 harpoon spanto, I do really like that green frag too.....

[@mostmuscular619]

Completely understandable. There's some knives that are just nice to have to enjoy, play with, and not necessarily use them, no matter how tough they're built. This is why I have doubles of some knives.

[@TECHFIGHTER]

Incomprehensible. It's like buying a top of the line hammer drill and only take it out to look at it and lay with it but never drill into anything. Worse yet, after you're done you put it in a safe. Damn, these are tools not jewels.

[@ahhcrickets]

I made a preorder for the fif20 earlier this week in full ti. Ode to MC. Seeing that version again and again on Philippe Jourget’s IG over and over again sold it to me despite being a frame lock design. Love me some titanium. Seeing those two Hinderers sitting side by side-yeah I know how you feel. 👍

[@nightrider5109]

That XM-24 Is absolutely gorgeous!! I want an XM-24 Bowie now I'm thinking I like the Harpoon as well I understand exactly what you mean about how expensive of an EDC you are willing to carry My limit is $300 for an EDC Anything above that stays in my collection I really love your channel Stay safe

[@carlosprieto773]

Late to the party but looking at picking up my first 24. Would make sense to release some this year! Thanks, love the content!

[@OneMinuteKnifeReview]

Thanks for sharing! Hope you’re feeling better! Oh, did you know there’s an issue with their flipper tab?

[@robertczajkowski4425]

I like the joy that new knife is giving to you :D Great channel, great reviews and great knives :) Greetings from Poland!

[@lukepaulson3428]

My goodness that blade profile is awesome. Hoping it shows up on a 3” some day. 🙏🏼

[@xmetal280]

I wonder about the correlation in knife preferences vs your physical size. If you are a very tall, or larger individual do you tend to prefer stronger feeling knives (ie thicker scales, longer handles and blades)? As a tall but stupidly skinny person, I have found over time that I greatly prefer the slimmest and lightest knives possible, because they “fit” better, don’t show in pockets as much, etc. I could never carry a Hinderer, the size and bulk just wouldn’t feel right at all. Luckily though, we have an infinite variety of knives to choose so we can all be happy. 😊

[@OneMinuteKnifeReview]

I wish it was infinite!

[@BParker55]

I've also settled into that knife size preference for carry. Usually has around a 3.5 in blade.

[@mainlyoctober]

The love content man! Bought my first Hinderer this weekend. It’s the XM-18 3.5 Bowie. Hoping to find another Hinderer soon!

[@seaferg5072]

Weird Hinderer question. When closed, have you ever heard the blade click against the scales when it gets jostled? The blade on mine is centered and definitely not touching a scale. The action is good and lockup is solid. I know the blades on these high end knives tend to be really tight in between the scales but I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced that click against the scales...

[@metal_complex]

That only happens if the pivot is loose. Give it a bit of a crank

[@colestegall9882]

The new Kizer Lan gives me a lot of budget hinderer vibes. The frag micarta pattern and the compound grind on the blade, I’ll probably pick one up just to get a taste of this kind of knife

[@RubleInnawoods]

The XM18 Bowie, harpoon, or skinner is my grail knife. I cannot wait for the day I snag one...

[@Rusonekox9]

I know what you mean, long ago 30 bucks was a sacrilege to expend on a knife...... Nowadays i could afford buying 3 $5000 dollars knives and still plenty money left for winter. Thanks for the video. 👍🏿 And thank the gods for keeping me busy with work 🙏

[@OneMinuteKnifeReview]

I’m jealous

[@ladev91]

MC, how would you compare an actual Hinderer like this to one made by Zt like the 0562TI?

[@metal_complex]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaaopKF8rc6Hia8 👍

[@Cry42]

As much as I like the shape, I think I'd want a skinny version so I could realistically carry it (if I wanted to).

[@tallica4life81]

I’d be wanting the skinny xm24. Doesn’t that make it the same handle and blade stock thickness of a regular xm-18 3.5” then? I heard that or read that somewhere. Idk if that’s true and I don’t know how many times they have done a xm24 skinny.

[@metal_complex]

Yes that's correct 👍

[@StandFreeAFC1]

I’ve got a few knives that I don’t use and it’s mostly because they’re too big and feel uncomfortable in the pocket, also I’m from the UK and walking about with a hinderer in your pocket draws more attention than a bug out or para 3

[@jayd6607]

That handle is pretty cool. Kind of reminds me of a electronic circuit board.

[@bomtradym4027]

xm 24s are sweet but my slicer no choil xm 18 3.5 has the same blade length. Kind of hard to justify carrying it after that I love my 24 that being said

[@mikeflamion7915]

i have around 65 knives with the majority of them being from 425 to 1500 and i only use 3 of them i too enjoy it pissing off a few.its your stuff so do what the hell you want with them.

[@bladeguru6358]

Another added to the Grail List! Outstanding! 🔪💕🔪

[@davidpayne840]

This video was a hard flex 💪 😂 💪 great video as always!!!

[@8thWonder50]

I had a full Ti 24 with a cool modded look to it, I was dumb to get rid of it

[@bingoknows]

I was gonna ask your opinion on the half track wharnie by USA Made Blade then I searched your video library, dang I didn't realize it was that small

[@murdergorilla4087]

I like the drafting grid look

[@braydinq]

I just got my first hinderer and its my most expensive and i can say nowhere near 😨 to use it its a fun knife to carry but i gotta get a 3.5 version the 3 inch is a bit to small for my hands.

[@CSomeWood]

I did the same with my pm2 sprint run 204p I sold it and regretted it. Took me a few months to find another

[@desertsmeagol7073]

Ok now those are some nice 4$$ scales

[@mainlyoctober]

gained a subscriber today my friend! Love the content!

[@willtrax71]

Man I really like the Hinderer quality. I was researching doing Videos on KZbin and 50 thousand Subscribers nets about a 1000 bucks a month +/- and that would be a great Knife budget for me to grab a Strider or Troodon.. It takes loyalty and time to get 50k subscribers but a grand or so a Month is a nice Blow Budget lol.. great Video

[@metal_complex]

Truthfully, ad revenue is different for every channel. The amount we get paid has nothing to do with the sub count. It's views and view time. On top of that, there are many, many other means of generating revenue beyond ads. Most of what you read about KZbin income online is wildly inaccurate and misleading. 😉

[@willtrax71]

@@metal_complex thank you that’s good to know and I appreciate the Intel..

[@BobDyl]

That stonewashed DLC with carbon fiber is FIRE.

[@BobDyl]

On your reco I got the textured carbon fiber scale for my XM-18 and I love it.

[@metal_complex]

😁👍

[@WoodisGood82]

I wish Rick would pick up the pace on production. I would love to grab a few xm24s.

[@metal_complex]

You know he's working against covid right? The guy is literally doing everything he can.

[@WoodisGood82]

​@@metal_complex I honestly didn't even give it a thought. Its worth the wait. I haven't put down my xm18 bowie in 3 months.

[@Mcfly0856]

It kinda surprises me that you don't edc the XM-24 more often, from watching your other content. I'd would've thought you'd be all about carrying the 24.

[@kraakvmaar1505]

Xm 24 is definitely a bit more badass then the xm 18. Why is 7-8 ounces 5 inch closed lenght hard to carry? I dont get it. Smartphones with an ok screen also often weight around 6-7 ounces and are often longer.

[@metal_complex]

It's too wide/thick of an object for that pocket. I already have to carry my wallet and phone. I'm just not willing to an object of this size to that trio when I can opt for something a little smaller. Like I said in the video, it's different for everyone. My phone and case weighs 4.2 oz

[@kraakvmaar1505]

@@metal_complex ah ok so you wear pants with only 2 pockets and the knife has to get in a smaller pocket with the small phone together or something like that I guess. Got ya! In case you start to develope some interest in edc some bigger knives I recommend to try out something like pme legend pants with more decent pocket options

[@metal_complex]

No, I just wear regular pants. Usually jeans. Front left pocket gets the phone, front right gets the knife, rear left gets the wallet. I don't want more pockets to carry more. I just want to be able to go about my day comfortably with each item having its own space and not being too large by my own standards.

[@OneMinuteKnifeReview]

You both only carry one knife?!?

[@kraakvmaar1505]

@@OneMinuteKnifeReview yea man.! My good old cs espada large was perfect for every job but I really like my new adv pitboss. So I might decide to carry the pitboss primarly and the espada as a backup in the future. We will see

Cool blade ...scale looks like a graph mat haha

[@JamesJones-yt8df]

Bending people can give enjoyment.. Cheers over there anguish over your knives soooooo FUNNY.

[@rustyshackleford3099]

I sent mine back. The blade to handle ratio on this knife is horrible and makes it look bad IMO. All the XMs suffer from this a little bit due to pivot placement. Some blade shapes are better at hiding it than others. The wider blades seem to make the ratio look much better. Love my Hinderers but just couldn't handle the 24s looks for the $$. Also will be the last time I do business with KnifeCenter!! (Not because of the knife.)

[@jameshealy4594]

I would carry and use the s**t out of it, but I totally respect your choice not to. Hope you enjoy all the hinderers and one day I might get one myself, based at least partly on you evangelising them lol. 😅

I need to stop watching this channel. I never liked hinderer knives personally and thats been okay with me because of the price... but that 24 harpoon spanto is really growing on me
