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...

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.
