Saw these are available for Hinderer knives...I am still waiting for my back-ordered Thermite, and I know it has a backspacer. Will these fit on a Hinderer designed Thermite?

I have no idea but you should be able to find out by compairing the blade thickness between the 2 knives. If they're the same then they should work (tho the holes may or may not need wobbled out some)
 
I couldn't say for sure, but I wouldn't really think so. It would have to be specifically designed to be compatible, and the Thermite was designed to be a low-cost production knife. I'd be surprised if the blade on the Thermite was as thick as the one on the XM-18. That's not meant to be a slam, I really want a Thermite, it's the closest I am likely to get to a real Hinderer :)
 
I just measured the the gap between the liners on a Thermite and an XM18 3.5 Spanto (Gen3). The gap on the Thermite is more than 1/16 of an inch smaller. So, no, the Hinderer standoffs would be too long unless you altered them to fit. I'm sure some creative person like Modifiedz will have this problem licked right away, because that Zytel backspacer has got to go!
 
Well...the Standoffs are $15...the Thermite was $35...figured for $50, I could have a pretty sweet set-up as I find the back-spacer hideous!
