Hinderer XM-18 3.5" Aluminum Scales (no backer, full scale)

[halmic]

I have had a small run made of aluminum scales to replace the Ti scale on my 3.5" XM. I am offering these up here to see if there is a demand, in which case I could have a larger run made up. This is a full scale (no backer used with it) and has a texture similar to a factory G10 scale. It is significantly lighter than a similar full Ti scale (by 44%), and just a tad lighter than the standard Ti backer/G10 scale set-up (by 9%). I am asking $150 net to me shipped.

The first 5 “I’ll Take It”’ posted here will get one shipped out ASAP, if more are desired than that I will have to let you know what the lead time will be.

Also, orders can be taken at:

Below are some responses from the first time I listed these up:


“I just wanted to let you know that I received the XM scale yesterday...I am very very impressed with the built quality. It is absolutely top-notch. I installed it on a custom 3.5" slicer last night and it looks great.”

“I like the Alu. It's very light and make the knife flip like the ti scales do. Perfect for a user.”

“Al scale came in finally. USPS must have taken it on a detour. Great quality.”

ok, ive got one of these and there great. If any of you are on the fence about getting one do it. it makes the knife flip like a full ti scale. It also makes a significant weight difference. Much lighter. Ive had mine on a few of my blades and it's great for an edc. here is a pic of it on my new bowie. Quality and workmanship is as good as the rhk ti scales and the price is much better. All i need now is a green and black anno one (hint hint Mike)
