Has anyone seen a 3" non flipper spanto?

Yes, but unfortunately the premium on them right now is super-high given it is an unusual configuration on the least-produced size (the legendary 3-inch) in which demand is huge and supply sucks...it's crazy given the standard models 3 inch XM's are easily exceeding $1,000 in many private sales (and the MSRP of the base XM-18 is something like $400 IIRC.) I saw one sell for almost $1,700 a few months ago!!! Many authorized dealers who manage get them are putting them on eBay given the premiums they bring, making finding them at a decent price even harder.

I've been trying to find a reasonably-priced 3 inch for about 2 years now...no luck :( (and I think the 3 inch is best not as a flipper and love the spanto...so I'm looking for that rare one as well!)

It seems we've all been hoping that Rick Hinderer Knives would be able to ramp-up their production capacity so they could start making more knives to meet the demand...arguably, it's the most popular knife in its respective class, and it has one of the lowest supply. Since I became a fan of the XM's, I personally don't think this is yet to happen. Like a few years ago, sourcing this awesome knife is still an absolute nightmare :(
 
A Big Brown truck arrived today with a XM-24 for me :devil:

I was surprised just how big it is (on top) compared to the XM-18's

You really had great stuff I must say. Looking cool.
 
I remember reading some where there were a few lefties made early on. If only I could find one if it is indeed true. I opted for a Three Sisters Forge not to long ago because I was able to have a left made.
