Just wanted to share a relatively new Hinderer that I picked up a few months ago. I’m already a huge Hinderer fan and have been carrying/collecting for a few years now. I was able to pickup this “special assembly” Eklipse Slicer Hollow Grind from Bladeshow in Atlanta earlier this year. I absolutely love the combination they put together on this Eklipse, the matching bead blast titanium textured scales really add extra grip and I love the look. What surprised me the most was the sharpness of the blade. It’s as sharp or sharper than any other knife in my collection and I have some screamers. Well done Rick!!!!

That's a neat one! Extra sharp out of the box always feels like such a win.

My one and only Hinderer is a XM18 3.5 spear point. It's really nice but built for a harder working edge than I need. Either going to get a regrind or sell/trade for a slicer and try again.
 
I saw a review of the Hollow grind eclipse on YT the other day. looks like a really nice knife. I am looking to add my first HG very soon.

That’s a sweet looking build! I love the textured locksides, just got my first one a couple weeks ago.
Is the finish on the scales a bead blast, or the regular “working” finish?
 
Definitely a looker but can easily be scratched and it does not hide scratches well.
