Lets see some Hinderer action

Finally 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:

Fun fact, you can swap the two assemblies on the PX with no change in performance as well 😁

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!

Sweet knife and scale!
I really like the idea of a skinny slicer Eklipse with hollow grind.:):thumbsup:
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.

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.

Thank you very much!
Working finish looks pretty decent on this one. The grey seems quite dark, but fingers crossed for the black suggestions. SW with bronze and blue anodization are appealing too, quite hard to decide.
Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge about sharpening sytems and blade grind, that's interesting!
 
I saw Hinderer dropped some new Sheepsfoot in S45vn. I’m curious what the edge thickness is like on the non-skinny version. Any feedback?
 
Seen this advertised on the secondary and curious whether a more discerning eye can say whether this appears to be legit. I’m no expert on Hinderer so would appreciate the feedback. Apologies if this is not the place to post such a question.
