Hinderer blade shape

[jacobts2013]

Hey all! Just ordered my first Hinderer, went with a skinner with a green scale. Was torn between that and the bowie, however I would have jumped on a wharncliffe of it was available (probably will own one in the future of I like the xm). Got me thinking, what's your favorite blade on the xm series??

 

[Landshark99]

In order, Slicer, Spear Point, Wharncliffe, Skinner, Spanto, Bowie

 

[Officer's Match]

In order, Bowie, Spanto, Slicer, Spear Point - Skinner doesn't even make my list.

 

[M1GarandGuy]

In order: Skinner, Wharnie, Spanto, Slicer, Bowie, Spearpoint.

There's also tanto. It'd be nice to see a picture of all them together.

 

[Leftytwogunz]

Slicer is my favorite. Then probably spear, spanto, bowie.

Not real interested in the skinner and flat out dont like a wharncliffe.

There's also tanto. It'd be nice to see a picture of all them together.

3.5 XMs

3.5 XMs

Thanks.

From top to bottom (please correct):

1. Bowie
2. Spearpoint
3. Spanto
4. Slicer
5. Skinner
6. Wharncliffe

I've only seen the Hinderer Tanto on the Eklipse.

 

[Need2Know]

Yes, that's the order. As for the "tanto" the Eklipse is the production stuff so far but nobody knows what custom grinds may exist/come to be. And the 3.5 ME Sparrows add yet another blade shape.

No love for the Sparrow or the Harpoon?

For reference Harpoon, Harpoon Tanto and Sparrow below:

My preference depends if it is an 18 or a 24.

On an 18 it goes Spear Point, Spanto, Skinner, Bowie.

On the 24 it is simply just the Skinner! I do not know why but I think the Skinner on the 24 is just the sexiest big knife ever freaking made!

I personally love the blades other than slicer, spear point, and spanto. Silly but it's simply for aesthetics.
