Lets see some Hinderer action

Just to put Blues at ease

How is that supposed to put me at ease, ferider , you didn't give me an option on that one?!

Now you're just raising the anxiety level!!!

I wonder how many of you have tried XM-18 Skinner and what you think. This is the RHK grind that I thought I'd have the least interest of trying before finally pulling the trigger. This grind surprisingly grows on me quickly. To me, it is the most ergonomic grind among all RHK grinds (slicer, spanto, spear, bowie, and wharnie) that I have tried in the choked up position with the thumb naturally and comfortable resting/pushing on the blade spine.

By the way, Sharp Dressed Knives makes beautiful scales. The picture does not do adequate justice.

Love the skinner shape. You should try a hollow grind. As close to a razor as it gets. Shown this before ....

Note that Rick's custom Skinners look similar to the Krein regrind above.

Agree...the skinner is a classic blade pattern...even when I've sharpened it.

Follow up on post #5,276 and for DaveReb : as expected, the new bearings also work in 3" XM18 and Eklipse.

Nice job on the screws !

Thanks! The lock insert screw is a 4-40 torx 8 from Ti Connector. They usually only sell these in bulk but they are very cool over there so you might try emailing them.

The clip and filler tab screws are also from Ti Connector. Domed button head style .125 length.

Thanks, Bobby. I already use the same clip/filler screws, BTW, see my posts above

Oh yeah - very nice! The Ti Connector quality is just insane. Never seen anything so precise.

Am I correct that the horsehead ti scales were sold directly by RHK and they never hit dealers? Wish I could grab one or two.

I got this one directly from RHK. Not sure about dealers but I don't think they got any...

The Skinner and Spanto are my favorite blades from them. The 3” Skinner is an excellent EDC knife in my opinion.
