Chat preferred if you want to message me. I'm away from the internet intermittently, so apologies in advance if I don't get back for a couple hours.

Thanks for looking!

A note on the Meton Boss scales:

By design the Meton Boss scales have recessed lock bar access, making the the knife easier to close (huge improvement!!!); they also leave a paper-width gap between the thumb stud and scale, whereas the thumbstud rests on the OEM scales. His textured frag scales are very reminiscent of the CRK Umnumzaan.

Zirconium: Premium material that will completely transform your Hinderer. Its slightly heftier than titanium with an exotic "ceramic" feel. Black oxide color will not fade/tarnish -- if Hinderer black DLC is 100% black, I'd call this shade around 80%.

Oil Slick Zirconium: Same as above, but has a faint rainbow sheen over the whole surface ("like oil reflecting in water"). The oil slick surface is reflective, whereas the plain Zirconium is matte.

A note on mounting to the XM-18 3.5 Skinny:

You can mount regular size XM-18 3.5 scales on a skinny if you don't mind the handle being a bit thicker on one side. Not a lot of aftermarket scale love for skinnies (Curtis Berry is your best best for aftermarket titanium skinny scales -- and his stuff is awesome).
