Hinderer Knives XM series of folders allow for user configuration changes. These Hinderer XM Textured copper scales replace both the G10 and the titanium liner on a standard XM-18 3.5 inch model. Smooth profile with satin brushed flats. These brass versions have been pocket machined relieved on backside to keep the weight down. Give your high tech Hinderer folder an old school copper vibe! You still use the same hardware, just unscrew the frame screws and pivot, remove your G10 scale and titanium liner, and put it back together.
Compatibility: Fits the XM-18 3.5 inch models
Notes on Brass: This is a disclaimer for all you folks who slept through high school chemistry class or somehow not aware of the nature of brass. All metals will change colors and looks over time depending on use, environment etc. This is especially true with brass. This means it may get a darker, may change colors with patina, or it may get shiny and polished where it is rubbed by another material (like say your pocket). If ya want it to stay all shiny and new looking, you will have to keep polishing it with a product like Brasso or any of the homegrown solutions you can find with an internet search. OR, you can accept that what makes brass a cool material is that your piece will change over time and tell its own stories and truly become one of a kind.
