So, I have a second Hinderer XM18 3" Slicer on the way. Hey, I needed a backup! These are, without question, my new go to EDC blades. I'm really glad I gave the newish slicer grind on the XM18s a try. You'll be seeing a lot of my other knives for sale in the BST forum soon, as I see them becoming obsolete in my EDC rotation.
Ugh... I know, depending if i buy a sebenza i just made an offer on or if i buy anything at a knife show coming up will make the difference...
My first spyderco being shipped tomorrow! Blue m390 PM 2. Next will probably be an ESEE or adamas for the bag.
Nice, keep us posted on what you think of the differences between the two. I've already got an 0561, and have been curious about 0550...
