Brass, Olive(I think), that blade and Bigfoot?

Wins the thread!

Spooky season!

This just in, and hoo boy!

I am once again impressed by the subtle but meaningful difference between the various Hinderer models and thicknesses in-hand. I've owned a pretty comprehensive cross-section of the brand over the past few years, and the Skinny 24 really does feel and carry differently than the full-fat version.

New to me firetac landed today. Glad to have one back in the collection! I swapped on the Micarta scale that came in the trade, and a clip and filler that I already had. It goes together decently. I'm checking out the disc and LBS options over at Gray precision tonight! Oh and imagine my surprise when I checked under the hood during the scale swap and discovered an unadvertised set of skiffs! The action is phenomenal on this one and the edge razor sharp.

I could be wrong but I think I owned that one a while back . Does the box say bronze finish but the ano was removed?

Love the clip/tab set!

It does indeed! It sure ain't the first knife that's passed from you to me, though this one took a longer route!

At some point someone soaked all the screws with locktite. It was a bear getting it apart with damaging anything . I had a recurve firetac first, but I like the spanto version better and whoever sharpened this one did a decent job!

Yeah that one has been gone for a good while. It was my first firetac. Regretted letting it go so of course I picked up another one and then another. Such a great model that doesn’t get near enough love.

The loctite wasn’t me but the sharpening job was a friend of mine if one of the previous owners didn’t touch it up.

I’ve had 2 spantos and a recurve. Love the spanto blade but the detent on my recurve is perfection. So much more snappy than the other 2 I owned. Not as drop shut though.

There's no love like a first love! I'm pretty happy with the detent on this one, and the sharpening job looks like a one and done deal, your friend done well! I gotta add a monster disc to it, because I love them and also supporting Pete Gray! Plus I need a disc for my MK3

 

[norcalAF]

That's hilarious that you recognized it so easily what gave it away?

Glad you’re digging it! Can’t wait to see the new disc on it. If you ever get tired of it and decide to move it hit me up.

I remembered seeing it pop up in the trade section about a week ago. With the ano removed skiffs added and sick edge I knew it had to be my old one

I am one lucky duck to get this Halloween XM-18, a bit late for Halloween but it’s the day it arrived.
