Lets see some Hinderer action

Swapped out the stonewash bronze hardware for battle bronze. I think I like the more subdued/uniform look better.

I'm actually surprised on how much I like the skinner. That blade profile never appealed to me in photos. I took a chance on this
and I'm glad I did. Looks much better in person. I'm looking forward to putting it to use. The covid symbol is silver on this one, other photos I've seen looked black. This also disappears at an angle.

Ya the skinner grew on me too, now I love it. I seriously think it may be my favorite blade profile from RHK now. It's crazy what you think you will like visually and vice versa. My Bowie was a mediocre flipper at best. I let it go and I miss it but my sheepsfoot and sliver are way better flippers. I'm hoping we get a wharncliffe skinny soon or spanto.

Nice, that blends very well. I hope someone gets the skinny specific 3.5" hardware sets lined up.

Thanks!

That’s the “problem“ with XM’s - whenever I’m shopping for a new one it’s with an eye toward what I’m going to do to it (and then afterwards I can’t seem to stop fiddling with it...) They’re the only knife I treat this way. As y’all know it’s just so hard to keep ‘em stock.

Last week I added a Ti scale to my 3.5 spanto to remember my "best buddy" who we lost a while ago.
(thank you to @Phil Indablanc for helping me track this down). Today added a skinny skinner Covid to the collection.

This is an amazing tribute to your "Best Buddy"! What a wonderful way to keep your Buddy's memory with you.

I so wish it was a 24 man. It’s a 3.5” that I flipper deleted a while back. Thanks tho and yes, I’ve wanted Ti 24 scales badly for years as well

Thanks. Yeah sometimes the xm-18 blade shapes look better (leaner/ less broad) than the equivalent profile on a 24, imo. I think that’s the case with the bowie and spanto as well.
