I’m hoping it has better thumb access too. That was the reason I didn’t end up buying a 3” skinny XM-18.
1000 percent improved! Plus much thicker liner!

So does anyone know if there is ever going to be another run of XM-18 3.5 skinny slicers produced?
I really hope so. One of the best Hinderers ever made IMHO. I'm still looking for a Stonewashed Skinny...

I gave it the week off, it’s going back in my pocket in the morning!! Love that thing! Thank you!Yeah, I'd like to own one!Murphjd25 makes me real jealous everytime he posts a sweet photo of his with those gorgeous Micarta scales. lol
Could I have the other side tapped for left hand carry?
So glad to hear that. I really enjoyed and appreciate the video you just did on the 3” Eclipse. It’s definitely a must buy knife for me.
Has anyone purchased a 3" Eklipse? I like the 3" XM18, this one looks pretty sweet except for the blade. A slicer, sheepsfoot or spear point would be more desirable for me, slicer would be 1st choice. I could only find them at one place, Hinderer's site doesn't show them.

I check the sites every day hoping they’ll put out more skinny slicers, non-flipper slicers, or 3.5” slicers of any kind really, but they just keeping putting out a million accessories instead. That, or a few of the seemingly less popular configurations with the ‘working’ finish and an odd color scale.

Really like that knife, great pic!
Bowie too.The Eklipse has always been a Harpoon Spanto, hasn’t it?
Curious how these compare to the new 3.0 Skinny Slicers as far as weight/feel.
