Hinderer XM-Slippy Spearpoint – Vintage is one of Hinderer’s new Vintage Series models, and is a slip joint (Non-Locking) knife. The Vintage Series XM-Slippy has 3.0″spearpoint blade that uses O1 tool steel with a black parkerized finish for a durable rust free coating, the same treatment as military grade hardware since the days of WW2. Both the front and back handles are smooth walnut wood that gives this knife that classic vintage look. The liners are 6al4v titanium that have been anodized green and then given Hinderer’s special Vintage treatment. The hardware, and pivot have a bronze finish. The Hinderer XM Slippy offers a pocket friendly slip joint design for all of your EDC needs. A uniquely designed adjustable thumb disc opener can be positioned anywhere along the first half of the blade for maximized blade opening comfort, or it can simply be removed if preferred. A reversible tip-up or tip-down titanium pocket clip with Hinderer’s anodized green vintage finish completes this stellar EDC design. Note: Each knife is individually serial numbered.
O1 Tool Steel: O1 tool steel is a cold work steel and is one of the most forgiving for making knife blades. It’s known as a low alloy steel due to the fact that it contains eight additives. It is easy to form as well as sharpen. The steel produces a very good edge that won’t dull easily as well. However, O1 steel can rust and care should be taken to prevent rust. Drying and oiling the knife after use is usually sufficient. Some high-end mass produced knives use O1 steel.
