Tales From the Knife Counter: What's the Deal With Hinderer Knives?

[@joemo1033]

What's the deal with Hinderer?! I'll tell you... They are 100% a piece of art, 100% bank vault tight, 100% tough as nails, and 100% anger the poors. So all good things.

[@messmeister92]

And if the forums are anything to go by, 90% are never used by their owners lol. It’s like the mall crawlers of the knife community.

[@ChukesOutdoorAdventures]

Indeed!

[@kabsx2945]

Well said! Couldn’t agree more!

[@99GrandAM3400]

I love my Hinderers and my CRK's. Couldn't fathom spending that kind of money on a blade only to throw it in a safe and not enjoy it. Well, maybe if I knew it would be profitable down the line but honestly, they all sell well even used. Normally I will take the knives out of the box, break them down, strip them of lubricant and relube, sharpen them and reassemble. That takes that "factory newness" out of the knife for me so I don't feel like they need to now be kept safe queens and puts my touch on the knife. In the pocket and into use they go. I've ran mine across the large staples in cardboard boxes, metal strapping on pallets thinking they were plastic, etc. and they come back every time with some sharpening. Currently have an XM-18 3.5" slicer in the rotation.

The new ones come with Bearings and a Bag with Nylon & Brass bushings if you want to change To washers ?The XM 18 you can buy a $390.00 Zirconium Scale or a titanium or bronze ? I Bought a Metford and it is built ?

[@tomhayes7448]

Greetings from Fairbanks! I thought Strider started the overbuilt titanium frame lock knife pioneered by Chris Reeve. Hinderer Knives bridged the gap between the 2.

I want a ranch harpoon spanto for my hunting knife. Can't find one anywhere.

[@kf_boston]

I have the 3V Spear highly recommend

[@pannan80]

Is there a maker that does knives that are properly put together BEFORE sending it out to the customer,or do all just rely on sending it in for warranty? The Hinderer i got was shit.

[@coltoncline5680]

Just saw your video from 2019 about blocks blowing up. I just had the same thing happen to my G19. I just mailed it to Glock but as you mentioned in the video, on the phone they absolutely started putting the blame on me. Really hoping they make it right but I’m very doubtful they will take any ownership in it.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Gotta keep in mind ebay's prices are inflated by around 20%+ because they take their cut.

[@ChukesOutdoorAdventures]

So true. Last time I sold a knife they took a good chunk of the profit, almost wasn’t worth it.

[@paulscountry456]

Sandvik has some great steel, holds a edge a long long time.

[@ramonade_knives]

Always prefered a couple of $180 Spydercos, I like their heat treats way more ! To each their own

[@whalehands]

Well this hasn't aged well

[@scottmurdock1393]

Late to the party, but are you guys really knife dealers or into knives? Maybe just don’t know much about Hinderer’s or steel, or other knives.. Seems you’re asking each other questions you should know..

[@JayceBroda]

Damn son, those lamb chops tho … 👍

500 for a knife? Really?

[@19Bearsfansince79]

@Emmanuel Goldstein I suggest you watch the shop tour of Hinderer knives from the dealer DLT trading when you see the machines that Rick and his crew uses to get everything that's close to perfect as possible you might then have an understanding to the price point...
