Need the 3.5" to come back in stock!

Welcome to the most overbuilt screen in history!

I'm waiting for the Cold Steel AD-20.

My 2 dream knives would be the Xm-18 3.0 harpoon spanto or Bowie with fuller all titanium. And Ad20 just like yours in all titanium. I have the Demko just need the scales.

You made the right choice. I love the trinity and the AD20 but the latter came through with so much innovation and testosterone. Best hard folder. AD20 > XM 24 > Strider SMF > Sebenza 31

Great vid with awesome knives on the table, fyi demko is coming out with a grivory AD20 knife for 350 I have heard through the grapevine. Should make alot of people happy If you can get one. And I agree with your decision, but if it was just aesthetics god I love that harpoon 24.

Acoustics on Ti is so good on That AD20 from what i can tell

How’s that textured Ti Shaman coming along?

I agree…. Although I don’t have any interest in the 24, my 18 was completely transformed with a textured ti scale installed! I prefer it over my Morpheus, my Arius, my half dozen CRKs. When i got the Demko AD20 in textured ti, I finally found something I prefer over my 18! For me, that says a lot!

The harpoon spanto's look so good!

I wonder how many people run their Hinderers on washers. I tried switching to washers for “reliability” sake but immediately had trouble getting it dialed in. Went back to bearings.

I have my slicer on the pb washers and then my Bowie on the Teflon washers. I love them both. The Bowie closes easier and takes a lot less force to slap shut it than the slicer on pb washers. I get benefits from washers because of the amount of saw dust I see daily as a cabinet maker and I literally cut on the table saw all day long mon through Friday.

Could not agree more. You are spot on. Hinderer makes the most beautiful knives in the world but nothing, say again, nothing beats the AD20. Period. Like your reviews man. Stay safe. Greetings from the Netherlands Marc Engels

What's the status of your Ti Shaman vis-a-vis these three at this point?

I like the XM-18 and I think G-10 on all of them would be a nice feel and fit. The lock is strange on the AD-20 to me but looks really comfortable. I would pick a Mick Strider or a Microtech over a Hinderer lol they just seem heavy, it’s definitely a lifelong Knife though. Cool Video

That's a great looking lineup. AD20 is just a sold all around blade, I really like the ergos on the handle. Very comfortable in both hands blade up or down. The XM-24 I'm loving a lot, lots of handle to grab and amazingly smooth for such a heavy bruiser. Now where's that custom?! 😁 👍

Fidget factor has taken a weird turn for me. I have found myself enjoying fidgeting knives that take more steps to close rather than less. The Banter might be my favorite to fidget at the moment.

My AD20 is the King of my collection. Deciding between a Hinderer XM18 and Spartan Blades Harsey Folder next.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 😭 I can't believe it 🤯😲😱 you crowned the Demko....it killed me🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah that AD20 it’s awesome... nice video!

Hoping and praying I get one for this recent drop!! Gotta love that yung stimmy check. Also about to join pattern.

Have they ever made an XM-18 skinny with no flipper tab and no choil? Any blade shape really though slicer or spanto would be preferred. Otherwise, it might be a no choil skinny and a grinder. 😁

The thing I have noticed, and I may be wrong about this. It seems like people buy knives and immediately flip them over in the secondary market. Maybe it’s their buy a bunch of knives and they just sell out quickly and turn them around on eBay four more money.. I’ve had to dig really deep to find a Chris Reeves knife from a retail store. I can find them on eBay left and right for $100 above retail sometimes even more. Same way with a lot of other high-end knives.. Like trying to find a Protech Malibu right now that is a one to $300 more than the retail is impossible.

Demko ftw not even a comparison

Who made the aftermarket ti scale for the 24?

Where can I find titanium scales for my ad20?

You should have also included your Hinderer with the fuller. Fidget factor vs Demko.

Glad you said that the xm24 was hard to open just got mine and it is stiff opening once it’s past the little ball it’s fine hopefully it will get easier with using it!!!?????

Have a nice XM24 with extra scale for sale. Beauty.

I didn't know that the xm 24 had any ti scales

We need them to start making xm24 ti scales again!

your killin me. you wont until you will. i want all three..

What do you trust to sharpen these?

On today’s episode of Metal Complex makes you wish you had an AD-20...

That harpoon blade is just sexy!

The AD 20 showed 7.23 oz. the first time and 7.09 oz. The second time

Ad-20 all day everyday

Most all your links to the knives you show ARE NOT AVAILABLE...what’s the point of the videos if I can’t purchase the knives that you feature

So jelly of that ad20

AD20 is my grail knife.

I don’t see how this is something vs something when no action was taken. You only talked about them.

Come on stimulus check I'm going to pick one of these up with it 😅 just please don't tell the wife

I will just leave it at yes yes and more yes

Hinderer for the win!!

Does your heart skip a beat when you have all three on the table? :-)

Cold Steel AD-20, FOR THE POORS!

For me, legally and functionally, smaller XM 18 would be my choice. Don't prefer all metal knives, though.

Ad20 wins i don't care what the video says
