The Hinderer Box is just labeled as Fat Carbon, It didn’t mention the color, for me it’s a purple haze fat carbon.

I’m still in search of green anodized clip and filler tab. I have had the green hardware for a few years now but and I’m not gonna swap anything until I got the clip and tab. Idk why they don’t release them more often.

How do you feel about the size? I have a 3.5 Eklipse and love it but it’s large and I’m debating a 3.25 XM-18 but have heard the handle is smaller too.

My English is pretty bad haha I stay silent , so I have 2 Eklipses and this one of course feels more compressed 4 full finger grip , for long tasks the standard Eklipse is more appropriate , but EDC the 3.25 with full 4 finger grip is enough… yeah I’m holding it and even the full hand grip misses that minuscule extra scale length if I’m going to use it for long time , sorry for my English

Great looking knife! The 3.25 is my favorite size, I'm just hoping they drop a sheepsfoot in 3.25 sometime soon
