New to Hinderer! Finally!

[persco]

I have wanted to get a 3" XM-18 non flipper for a long time, and finally found a good deal. Super excited.

I really want to get a titanium scale for it, but I know they've been out of stock for a long while. Will Hinderer be doing any more of these? Or am I now looking at custom scale work? I've seen the Hinderer-made ti scales come up for sale, but very rarely and not in the last few months.

When my XM-18 arrives (a few weeks to travel to get to me, unfortunately), I will post a photo or two.

Congrats! That is a long time to wait in anticipation. Good luck with that! Last I heard they should be in around the first of the year. I would contact Rob Orlando for specifics. I would also sign up on their site to be notified when they are back in stock so you can get one quickly before they sell out. In the mean time keep your eye on the exchange and cross your fingers.

Congrats. The 3" is an awesome knife!!! The TI scales do come up. Just keep an eye on the exchange like Jensen said and sign up for notifications on hinderers site. Hinderers require a little patience sometimes when trying to get em exactly like you want them but soooooo worth the wait when you find what you are looking for. Again, congrats and welcome.

Thanks! I'll contact Rob and ask about timing.

Yeah, I was so excited to be able to find a 3" in a partial trade. I love smaller (~3") EDC knives and the 3" XM-18s -- especially the non-flippers -- were hard to find. It has G10 scales and I really prefer titanium scales. Ideally, I will get the ti scales and have Randy Johnson do a nice treatment on them. But as you said, this may take some patience...
