I just picked up this Hinderer XM-18 with a 3.5 inch blade. It fits my hand very well and is built extremely tough. I especially like the "spanto" blade shape that is half spear point and half tanto.

Awesome looking piece of steel! I hate to be critical, but the cutting edge of the blade is pure spear point, it almost looks like they made the angles for a Tanto grind and then changed thier minds and ground it down as a Spear point. In my mind, that blade would function as a spear point, and less like a tanto. It does have a neat look about it though.
