Agreed ^^
The perfect Hinderer!
As if we don't have enough XM options - I wonder what a skinny blade in a standard frame would feel like? Might be the ultimate XM. I actually think it would have been a good idea to call the Skinny's "XS", Standard's stay "XM" and Fatty's be "XF" - would shorten the names a lot.You and me both. Nothing wrong with the skinny, but the standard one is just a perfect match for mh hands.

Then you could go full mongo and offer, for example, XF Skinny (fatty scales w' skinny blade), XS Fatty (skinny scales fatty blade), or my desired XM Skinny (standard scales w' skinny blade).Xtra fat?

If you live in the area or would like to travel in we will be debuting these at our open house on November 16th at 320 North Main St. in Salisbury, NC. Rick and a couple of his employees will be joining us along with other well known and respected makers. The open house is from Noon until 6:00 PM. We would love to see you there!
These are the prototypes that were mailed to us. We will have these available in many different G10 colors in Working Finish and Stonewashed Finish this weekend and on Monday. We hope you will check them out!
I am getting mixed info so I figured I would ask the experts here - does the gen 6, 3.5" fatty use the same scale thickness as the standard xm-18 3.5"?
Yep, the Gen 2's are Tri-Ways with lockbar insertsAwesome, do these come with triway yet?
I have that exact same configuration. Battle Anthracite has to be my favorite Hinderer finish. Mine now sports smooth CF scales and polished PB washers. I have several Gen 6 Hinderers, but still love my old Gen 4. It's broken in, finely tuned and a dream to flip...so smooth.
