I really like the center one with the blue scales. Would you call that a modified drop point? Or maybe a moded Tanto?

Either way, nice knives.

I recently got a ZT0456(I think that was the number) from willis. I really like it. Been clipped to my pocket almost every day since. It's still a bit heavier than my ideal, but it's so nice, I'm adapting to it.

I like that Wharncliff.  Might jump on one of those one of these days.

The middle one is a Spanto. I have a couple of the older ZT/Hinderer collabs (0550 and 0561). I still love them, but the Hinderers are just works of art. Hard to see, but that top one is an XM-24. It's a beast!

I think Steve said they're gonna do some for the 24 as well

This is one of the very first XM24 knives made with the Wharncliff , I am here to tell you there is no better defensive folding knive on the market, I wanted to keep this one but  actually sold it before receiving it, I checked the action and packaged it up for the owner who lives in Massachusetts 

 

I will be getting more of these if anybody wants one let me know

I still carry a RHK skinner as my EDC.  They are good knives and their quality has improved a lot over the years, but I am no longer a big fan.  Still, if I ever got an opportunity to get a battle black XM-24 full Ti with a recurve (my favorite grind) or a warncliff at table price I would jump all over it.  Ha.

Another Willis victim, eh?

Just let me know when you want one, and my prices are table prices

That skinner is a great blade shape.

Agreed, my next XM24 Knives will be one Stonewashed Wharncliff, followed by a Skinner, the Skinners are a ways off for production but I will have one when I can

I really need to check out the size differences between the 18 and 24.

It's hard to tell in pics. One thing to note, I believe the 24 is scaled up in every dimension. It is bordering on "too much knife" for me. One thing is for sure. You will have a hell of a time breaking either one.

It is.  Or at least it used to be.  I know the original XM18 fattys were XM24 thickness so they used xm24 standoffs.  Scales may or may not have been thicker.  Can't remember for sure.

My 24 is growing on me, and the 18 is starting to feel a little dainty

At least your 18 is a fatty, the same thickness as your 24 I still love all of mine

That's a plain 18 Spanto. The fatty isn't in the pick
