Really don't even know where to go with this - IF you want to put an Ad in the Forum then the place to do it is in the Exchange or put a WTS in your Signature line.

Good luck with it and Glad you like your XM's

Hmm, I still like my Eklipse a lot, the only reason it doesn't get more pocket time is the 3" slicer I got last fall has displaced most everything else.

One possible detractor on the Eklipse is the absolute lack of spare parts - my Eklipse came with bronze hardware (one of the reasons I jumped on that particular one), but still wears its original black scale - would love to be able to swap that out for blue/black, or green, or... - that's one of the things that sets the XM's apart from other knives: sure, they have great construction / materials / fit & finish, and lovely ergonomics, but you can also customize the heck out of them with real genuine parts, in-warranty and everything.

Edit: looks like the original post, which (among other things) asked what people now thought of the Eklipse, has been edited away.

That's why I said it was & still is the poor stepchild to the XM (before the mods took creative license to my post)

Don't understand why you can praise the knives all day long, but the minute you say something that might be taken as a criticism, it gets edited out of your post.
 
You have a problem PM me. You got Edited because your thread was a thinly veiled "For Sale" ad.
Now, you want to discuss it - PM me.

If you want to discuss knives start a discussion thread.
 
I was starting a discussion thread! I wasn't trying to sell the knife on this forum!
 
Have it your way, Mr Moderator.

How about this; Does anyone feel that the Eklipse has been hurt by the non-availability of scales & Ti parts, thus relegating the Eklipse to a 'lesser' position' than the XM for customizing or just changing up the knife from time to time?
 
Maybe so but all those parts are coming after the RHK crew moves into their new production facility that is currently under construction. I have no problem waiting.
 
"Mr Moderator".... Anyway. Discussion is what we do.
The XM has been out for several years the eklipse - one.
It is a great knife as is IMO .... Will accessories ever make it as popular as the XM? Who knows. Wasn't the design goal.
Is it my favorite RHK? No it isn't.
I like 3.5" XMs the best vs 3" or 4". Not sure if that is grounds for a discussion thread but it certainly isn't praise or the avoidance of same.

How can you say it wasn't part of the design goal when RHK has partnered with ZT to produce the knife with Ti slabs & all kind of 'custom' parts??? (whenever that comes to fruition)



Not sure if that is grounds for a discussion thread but it certainly isn't praise or the avoidance of same.

This has better grounds for a discussion thread than some of the discussions that appear on this forum
 
Are you here to just argue? Because if that is the case that can be handled.

If you disapprove of the topics of threads theres an easy solution for that as well.
 
266 posts and 178 in the "For Sale" arena. Comes and starts a thread "I'm Selling my Eklipse" and is upset that it got edited ( no infraction, just an edit)

Done.
