I believe as a paying member I am allowed to ask help for value. If not disregard this post. I have a xm-18 3" gen 1 non flipper. It has original edge and is in very good shape. I have no idea what a fair price would be for this knife. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill
Over $500 for sure is what I’d value it at probably the $600-$800 range if you realistically wanted to try and move it.
So all Gen 1 were custom ? Also I have owned a few custom knives and that does not always mean better. I need to do some research.
All Gen 1 3.5" and 3" were hand ground, but 3.5" and 3" generations are different since they follow different timelines. If you are really interest check out the Hinderer forum in the archives it has a history and generation stickie
Cannot speak as to how to price it, but obviously the answer is as much as someone is willing to pay. Here's a link with historical information... https://www.bladeforums.com/threads...ions-history-and-general-information.1025624/
