Let's see 'em if you happen to own one or a few. Seen a few pictures and really like how they look. As a side question, when you have your XM anodized, the finish (stonewashed or blasted) stays the same correct? Anyway, let's see some cool ano'd Hinderers!

The finish does stay the same (i.e., if it was stonewashed before anodizing, it remains stonewashed after anodizing, same with sand blasted, bead blasted or hand rubbed). But, the anodizing looks different depending on the underlying finish, the bronze stonewashed anodized in the same exact manner as the bead blasted will look different.

I'd post pics but Rob tells me I am not allowed, I think it is because my pictures are so bad or something like that.

Thanks. If your pics are not up to spec, send that XM my way and I'll take some worthy pictures. :D
 
Here is a stonewashed and bronze anodized XM with a bead blasted blade:

Thanks Biker Trash. hats one sick looking XM. I like the orange scales with the bronze anodizing. Anyone have any sandblasted and anodized XM's?
 
Here are several nice examples of Anodized Hinderer's

Wow Pete! I do know there is a list but, I am eligible for adoption..........

In all seriousness though, threads like this and those similar show the side of Rick Hinderer that few see or know about.

What an Artist.

It's like finding out the" Rock "is also an accomplished ballet dancer...:)

Very nice set Tjc! Seems like not many people get sand blasted XM's anodized. The stonewashed ones do look great though!
 
Not an anodized XM, but an extremely anodized Firetac Extreme... :cool:

Some day I hope to add an anodized XM to my small Hinderer stash... :)
 
Jaxx, that is an AWESOME piece! Congrats on owning it! That spotted flaming pattern looks a LOT better on the textured Ti than the smooth Ti XM's I've seen done up like that.
