1) I've recently seen a handful of factory anodized Hinderers for sale from legitimate dealers and was curious about their status. Are they considered "rare" and do they currently command a premium over other factory finishes?
2) From what I've googled or searched for here, my understanding is that aftermarket "pimping" voids your warranty with Hinderer Knives. How are they able to differentiate between their anodizing and a "professional pimper"?
I'm new to the Hinderer herd (1st XM-18 delivered this weekend!) and simply don't know all the facts.
Thanks all!
