XM-24 is my overall fave (less the pivot). I held one back in '08, or '09. The right amount of blade and heft for mid-duty work. Might have to pick one up after all. Pivot of my SnG Gen 4 would always loosen at inopportune times, ditched it in favor of the Umnumzaan as my primary EDC. Love the 'Zaan pivot, no worries with it through thick and thin.
