The Eklipse is my favorite Hinderer model. I don't even know how many Hinderer knives I have probably around 20 and I must have 6 to 8 Eklipse. I just bought another one when the new hollow ground slicers came out I got one in working finish with the natural g10. I do have a working finish horsehead scale I haven't installed on anything I might put on it. I actually have another scale coming now Monkey Edge had MEFP ti xm18 scales so I have a working finish one of those coming tomorrow to put on something maybe my working finish bowie. The Eklipse though I have the bowie, MEFP 3v warncliffe, I have the exclusive studs only from E Knives, the hollow slicer, spearpoint, I have another one that is similar to that can't think of what Hinderer calls them but its Magnacut I got from DLT a year or 2 ago think I have some others just can't think of it I have one of the 3 inch too think those were only ever made in the harpoon spanto. I only have 1 xm24 the bowie and I have 1 of the one with the thumb disc my brain isn't working so I can't think of what that model is either now but I really like those as well. I have one of the xm18 autos really want the auto Eklipse. I have a slicer, and warncliffe 3 inch, the 3.5 I have one of the DLT m390 warncliffes, bowie, spanto, slicer. I have one Project X. Few fixed blades maybe some others. I have so damn many knives its hard to keep track of everything. Need to start selling some more stuff again. I have a few other titanium scales I still haven't installed too have one of the DLT exclusive scales, another horsehead, that MEFP and another horsehead, have one for my project x too just never installed any of them or the ti scales I bought for one of my AD20 had those scales probably 2 years just never installed them and I bought a bunch more AD20 and AD20s since I got them
@JesseLJohnson dude you have an awesome collection! And I absolutely agree that the Eklipse is LEGENDARY. I love the three Eklipses that I have and Carry. Beautiful knives. Thanks for your awesome comment brother, God bless
The Hinderers have the corner on ugly pocket clips. You stated that the Hinderer doesn't have a choil, but they do. They don't have a "finger choil" but have the necessary "sharpening choil".
I'm pretty new to knives in this price range and recently purchased a XM-18 that has made me a Hinderer fan. I currently have an Eklipse on the way from Hinderer. I had looked at a bunch of reviews before I ordered but none were very recent, not that it makes a difference with this type knife. But it was good to stumble on a recent review and I really enjoyed it (except for the Shrek reference😁). It's fun to listen to someone who knows what they're talking about and obviously, feels passionate about the subject. Thanks!
Thanks a lot Fred! I'm glad you found the video informative. It's people like you who keep me wanting to pump out content. Thank you for the awesome feedback 💪🏻
Have you ever tried a pre-triway Hinderer? They get overlooked by the current community, but the insanity that happened when the xm18 came out makes the hype around the OZ Roosevelt look like some random Kizer. Theres good reason for that.
No I haven't, would definitely like too sometime, cuz the older blade shapes and stuff would be cool to have. Yeah I noticed that too man , not sure why they're so overlooked
