Fun fact, you can swap the two assemblies on the PX with no change in performance as wellFinally got around to installing some of the Hinderer Ti pivot. I was worried that they might induce some pivot wobble, but they are still tight as a drum. Really more and more impressed with Hinderer tolerances:

Sweet knife and scale!Never thought we'd see the day that a Hinderer was thin enough behind the edge to sport a proper 14DPS edge and look normal! Thanks Rick for finally making the "Slicer Grind" live up to it's namesake!

Yes, that is a Working Finish. I love Hinderer's Stonewash, but I figured I'd go with the WF for something different this time. Really hoping we see a Battle Black or ideally a SW DLC for this model!Sweet knife and scale!
I really like the idea of a skinny slicer Eklipse with hollow grind.
Is yours working finish, and how did you sharpen the blade, please?
I use a KME, and had a little uneven result on my harpoon spanto.
Thank you very much!Yes, that is a Working Finish. I love Hinderer's Stonewash, but I figured I'd go with the WF for something different this time. Really hoping we see a Battle Black or ideally a SW DLC for this model!
I use a Wicked Edge. Works the same on the principle as he KME, so you should get similar results on a single grind blade if you clamp near the middle of the blade. The nature of the Spanto grind is going to be potentially problematic on a fixed angle system, as are any compound grinds.
