My XM-24 Spanto triway arrived today and holy crap man.. I get it. I've had Medfords and Striders and neither of them really impressed me. But these (I've got a gen 6 XM18 as well) fully live up to the hype. Big beautiful and well made beasts..

I EDC an XM-24. :)

ive had mine for over 2 years now an old spanto with sterile blade it's been a great companion and while i tried to edc other blades I've always come back to it.

I just got my first hinderer, an Xm-24. It’s a really big well made knife! I’ve been flipping it for an hour now.

As a lil late to the party, though that's par for the course, I've used the 24 as my EDC for 4+ years along with the AD15 and the AD20S, with the 24(50%+) getting the most pocket time then the 15(40%+), then the 20S. Owning both a bar along with a machining company, I have used them for many warranty voiding activities for years from say one and all three have handled the use/abuse superbly!! With both an academic and professional background in physics and machine/materials biomechanics, I too was and still am skeptical of the Tri-Way Pivot system, as it's akin to the modularity craze that hit both the orthopedic implant marketplace in the early 1990's and the luxury watch genre a few years ago. Simply put, the more variables that are introduced, the higher the probability of wear, tear and catastrophic failure, whether it be a distal femoral spacer on an implant, a modular(interchangeable) bracelet on a watch or a Tri-Way Pivot system on a knife. I don't care what in-vitro tasting shows, it can NEVER replicate in-vivo performance or outcomes, at least it has not over the long term in orthopedic implants, though it is too soon to make the call on watches or knives, though I'd bet every watch in my luxury collection or every knife in my knife collection that neither will stand up to a 50-year out one. That said, the 24 is a hell of a blade and handled everything that I've thrown at it, though so has the 15 for a hell of a lot less money, lolol Happy New Year🍻 RP

Just purchased one in beautiful blue anodized and blue G10! Should be here by next Monday! Great review!

My XM-24 with the Tri-Way just came in from DLT today. You helped push me over the edge!

Hinderer is one of my favorite knives too. Love the quality. But damn that xm24 is huge.

Hey, I work for Rick Hinderer....and I was playing with a full Ti scale today....not a textured one, it was smooth with a big horse head logo milled into it 😉 For real...but I am not sure when we will be producing more of them...if I hear anything I will let you know ..I can also look and see if we have any at the shop for sale. And to all the folks who have never seen an XM24 in person...this vid does them no justice...they are HUGE...LOL. There are about 30 of them laying on the table less than ten feet from my mills...they are giant. Same with the full track...cool knives for sure, but too big to EDC for sure, unless you are just different from most folks....BIG BIG knives. I always joke with Ross when he carries his at work...I always tell him I like his "folding sword"

This has been on my too buy list for a really long time. Only thing stopping me is all the fancy versions are usually sold out. I’m just going to blurt it out “what’s with that damn choil.” But the wharncliff is super dope!

I bought a XM-24 in 2024 out of curiosity. Size is relative. I have large hands and there is enough handle that I dont need to choke up. Thats what I was after.

Love it!! Wondering doe's the 24 come without choil? Also the xm24 is my next Hinderer purchase would really love it without a choil.

Awesome knife 👍

Yep my first Hinderer. XM 24 ❤️ it

Great review 👍 nice knife

LOL imagining myself running with nearly half a pound of steel clipped to my shorts😂 Great review👍

Do you notice a big difference in weight between the 3.5 and xm-24 when your carrying?

What's with the scales on your griptilian??? I need to know

I EDC my XM-24 spanto with red scale gen 6 =-D... I also EDC my socom at work!

I can’t find any aftermarket titanium scale for mine.

I Fn love mine w/ Denim Scale

I am trying to convince myself to purchase one of these beauties. I can't find an 18 anywhere and a 3" seems just too small. I would like to carry it EDC, but I think I would do it for a while and then give up on it. Man. I am ready to pull the trigger, but geesh. perhaps I will pick up a ZT 0562Ti and wait.

Which knife do you prefer...the Hinderer 3.5” XM-18 or the large Chris Reeve Inkosi?

Will a xm24 vs full track video be coming? Interested to see how that one goes.

Im gonna go out on a limb here & Im prepared for the hate- "Hinderers are the best knife that can be bought at any price " let the hate mongering begin......

I happily edc my 24 everyday, but I only wear wrangler jeans.

Wat about the hinderer slipjoint is that a good choice if u cant get the flipper one

I really want one to edc...but I only want to pay $400 so It’s not horrible if I somehow screw it up

For a toothy factory edge that blade is a wicked slicer... I want a full track, should I convert?

I EDC a Jeff vandermulen double homicide....This is nothing compared to it. I love the XM24

wish there was a no choil XM-24

I edc my 24 Bowie and I love it.

Hey man. Since Hinderer Knives refuses to answer my emails, maybe you can ask them. Will Hinderer Knives ever make an XM-24 NO Choil version? Not XM-16, but XM-24.

$600!?! WOW! Is that red scale made of Wagyu unicorn?

Easy edc. Not to big and not super heavy

It’s almost to small in some ways🤔

You're wrong. I will edc the shit out of that knife 🤣🤣🤣
