I remember sitting there seeing them available at KnifeJoy and thinking...hmmm...they must not be that hard to get. Guess I'll just pick one up at a later time. I was completely unaware I happened to check KnifeJoy literally the minute they launched. I could have gotten any variety, even titanium...and I just sat there.

Thanks man. And thanks again for letting me sample yours. Such a wonderful design 👍

All the AD20 content! Textured titanium scales just says MC all over it, I'm glad you managed to get one.

This is such a great video!!!! Thanks for sharing, I’m very excited to see this unboxing :) You and @slicey dicey are the reason I got my XM-18, you’re also going to be the reason I chase an AD-15/20!

That’s an awesome one MC! Congrats!! Loving my G10 version so far, can’t imagine how awesome that textured ti feels

that is amazing. congrats on the purchase. I'm jealous!

So awesome. Congratulations, MC!

Your excitement is why I love this channel.

Glad you got your hands on one. I ordered a GEC today and got the order in just before they sold out. However, I haven't received a confirmation email and now I'm worried it didnt go through. It would be such a let down if I was just a few seconds late.

I love the AD 20. It is a fantastic knife. The shark lock is great. Congrats!

amazing looking knife. Absolutely stunning in titanium. great video thank's

Damn! That is sooo sweet! Congrats ! Enjoy!

All those awesome knives and he opens boxes with a sharpened spoon! I kid. Love your videos.

Very nice!! Great looking knife, and hope to hold it sometime 😍

Such a beautiful knife. The box and plastic bag are interesting, but i guess it serves its purpose lol. Congrats on the purchase. I still hope cold steel will make a less expensive run of these.

Glad you scored one.

This is my favorite knife hands down I need one eventually!!!

The AD20 looks like an excellent design, congrats on getting the version you wanted MC. I am hoping in 2021 they might do a Cold Steel model so regular people can actually buy them. 😆

Oh! Is this the new excalibur standard? Killer in looks!!! All I can say is WOW! I have been looking at the AD:s NICE!!!!!!

“Made for MC” might as well have been printed on the box haha - Enjoy!

MC is so excited. He just can't hide it. He's about to lose control and I think he likes it. To paraphrase the Pointer Sisters. AD20 is number 1 on my want list.

Damn man, nice pick up!

I figured that's why the Hinderer's were sold...

This full ti is the best version buddy, congrats. Enjoy it.😊👍

Very impressive knife

Man, if they had left-handed tip-up pocket clips... I'd be all over that. I plan to buy one of every single left-handed folding knife that exists! That would definitely fit in my top 5 EASY.

The knife is pretty cool, not my style but its cool. But I feel like for a custom knife part of it is the packaging. My 20 dollar ganzo came with a pouch. Ik nobody buys knives for the packaging but it really adds to any knife when the packaging is good. Imo

The Hinderer facebook page (Hinderer Knives - B/S/T, reddit (r/Knife_Swap), instagram (#knifesales/#knafsale/#edcgearsale/#gearsale). Although, I think the "recent" tags on Instagram are still being blocked cause of the election, so it might be a lil more difficult at the moment on there.

*sees Metal super stoked about new knife* me, looks at knife: meh :P It's okayyyyy, I just got a Mk7 Cypher and now all my flippers and even my Combat Troodon and Ultratech seem a lot less sexy compared to that beast of a knife lol still cool though, Metal!

This is why I love this community. With everything going on in the world I know knives aren't super important it provides some joy and distraction. Also the IG knife community is so great too which I have a feeling is where you found the seller of this. Im @ buddha_edc on there. Love watching unboxings when people lose it with excitement.

Does it come with a clip for left handers?
