The Hinderer bug

[KVT]

^^ Thanks. Maybe I’ll hold out for those...

2 tone blade. The flats are polished and the rest of the blade is working finish....looks pretty com.

Nice - found the exact one I want. Sort of. What does the "two-tone" blade mean exactly - hard to tell from the pics and description.
"Stonewashed Two Tone 20CV Blade."
On this one for instance:

Has anybody ever seen a Slicer grind or Spear grind Half Track? In stonewash?

Well, I've finally done it. After looking at them off and on for years (mostly due to my ownership of a ZT0562 and 0392BLK) I just ordered my first real Hinderer from DLT. The Gen 6 changes and reviews made it impossible to resist any more.

Very nice! Also two of my favorite ZTs.

Yes they were. I kind of regret selling them but I'm focusing on 4" or more in folders now. Everything else just isn't the right size for me.

I loved the feel and build of the 0392 and even though it was only 3.6" probably would have kept it but they always sold out so fast I was only able to get one. And I couldn't bring myself to use it without a backup.

Mail call - my 3.5 Blue/Black scale came along with my 3.0 Gen6 Slicer.
Love it! Need more! The 3.0 is not too small. It's small, but still usable for sure. In hand, it feels a little bigger than a Cryo.
The bottom pic is a size reference against some well-known ZT Hind staples.

Here's a shot with a Cryo for size reference:

EDIT: FWIW, my 3.0 came in at 3.3oz vs the 3.6oz on all the specs I've seen.

First Hinderer arrived today. So far I'm loving it! As soon as I opened it I put in the bronze washers threw on the dark green scale I bought for it. I don't know why but even though I know there's nothing this can do that my Sebenza can't, for some reason I feel more ready to subject this knife to hard use and abuse.

^^ 24? 3.5? 3.0? Looks awesome!

Speaking of that, how do y’all like the XM-24?

Hopefully the tracking DLT sent me today is is accurate (USPS is hit or miss) so I can give my opinion Monday.

We need more pics, this is what I carry most days...the “lambo”

Anxiously awaiting my 3” FWF recurve to return from the ranch!

Playing with my half track and as it is breaking in it is becoming smoother and smoother

Excited to see some XM-18 3.5 with the spanto blade piping out
