Rick Hinderer Knives Picture Thread

I haven't changed the standoffs yet but the XM is very easy to work on. Changing the scale didnt create any play at all. As long as you have thr proper size tools, you dont have to worry about breaking the screws. The only thing is that you have to mess with the pivot after reassembly to get the blade centered. This was just my experience though. However, it is very easy to adjust. I say pick up that scale and go for it. I've completely disassembled mine and it was no problem at all. If you have any specific questions, id be glad to help you out.

I also forgot to add that I cant comment on the loctite as I bought the new style screws seperately to replace my old ones. They didnt come with loctite on them though.

Thanks for the offer of help DropPoint! I liked my ugly round headed screws better in terms of being stronger than the new ones. I've read several posts of guys sheering the new ones right off. :eek:

If I recall correctly, there was an issue early on related to the flat head screws and the female portion of the hex being too deep and not having enough material left in the screw head allowing them to twist off too easily but that has been corrected for some time and I believe Hinderer replaces those problematic screws under warranty.

Changing standoffs is about as easy as it gets. The standoff screws shouldn't have any loctite, if someone added it they were mistaken and they certainly don't come from Hinderer with any (loctite on the pivot only and sparingly) and to go one step further, Hinderer refuses to work on knives where someone applied loctite to the handle screws.

When I read your post in my email, I thought the BMW :D, very cool knife and light though !
 
Its better to invest in special knives they at least tend to go up in price or keep their value, most cars just loose value the minute you drive out the showroom ;)

Are you saying there are screws for the new g-10 or ti scales and then separate screws for the stand-offs? That's how I'm reading this?? :confused:

No, standoff screws = handle screws.

I used the term "standoff" and Hinderer used the term "handle", both referring to the same thing.

Jon, just having that on eXM is enough to make most knife enthusiasts jealous haha. That's an awesome start to a Hinderer collection. :D
 
So my camera skills suck and the lighting in my house is horrible but this what I put together last night.
