Lets see some Hinderer action

KELAMA said:
I just picked up this awesome Eklipse flipper this past week from a fellow member; carried this with me today for the first time on this beautiful Friday morning after 4 straight days of rain.

This is actually the first Hinderer I've purchased in a few years, and I'm really glad that I did! I've owned a few Hinderer XM-18 Gen 4 flipper's, but had always been somewhat disappointed with their weak flipping action. This tri-way pivot/flipping action on this Eklipse (my first), is phenomenal, and I absolutely love the ergo's!

But what I love most about this blue beauty, is that the G-10 scale matches my blue surf kayak perfectly. Not sure what the initials mean....some parent had been playing with her kid and that was their work, not mine. Great photo-OP though. LOL

I came home, cooked up a delicious bloody rare Waygu Sirloin steak sprinkled with some Himalayan pink salt and devoured it with a nice cold Stone IPA. Major thanks/kudos to, KKellogg KKellogg for putting one of the nicest, wicked sharp edges I've had the pleasure of using.

I love everything about this. Our steak game is different but I respect what you've got going!

I have a Hinderer newb question. What is the difference for scale fit between the Eklipse gen 1 and gen 2? I searched here as well as online. Did not find any useful info.
 
And cheers to everyone who got a battle black Eklipse Bowie at southern Yesterday! Damn they went quick, I have too many Hinderers as it is, but the battle black has always evaded me…they look awsome!

If you mean tri-way vs. non tri-way, there is no difference, the scales are compatible.

Thanks ferider. I am messing around with changing out scales on the Eklipse I have and in my searches, I have seen it mentioned on some sites, that the Eklipse scales they list are for gen 2 only and that they will not fit gen 1.

There are actually gen 1, 2 and 3 (tri-way). 2 and 3 are compatible, but 1 is not, so be careful.
 
IIRC for the Eklipse,
1st gen = S35VN and no lockbar insert
2nd gen = 20CV and no insert (I have seen a few)
3rd gen= 20CV, tri-way and lockbar insert…I thought I read somewhere that they changed the stop pin after the first generation, but I could be confusing this fact with a different model Hinderer
 
Anyone happen to have a Hinderer with a show side that's stonewashed bronze Ti scale + copper pivot and handle screws? I'm considering a project and I don't know if that looks as good in real life as it does in my head.
