The Hinderer Eklipse Skinny Fullered Magnacut Harpoon Spearpoint Non-Flipper Folder delivers the unmistakable strength and precision of Rick Hinderer Knives in a refined, slimmed-down platform built for everyday carry. Engineered as part of the Skinny Series, this version of the Eklipse maintains the same overall footprint as the standard model while reducing handle and blade thickness for a lighter, more comfortable pocket presence.
The Skinny Series was developed for users who wanted the proven performance of the Eklipse without the added bulk. By slimming down key dimensions while preserving structural integrity and cutting capability, Hinderer created a knife that carries effortlessly in a wide range of environments. Whether clipped to jeans, work pants, or dress slacks, it’s designed to disappear in the pocket until it’s needed, offering a discreet yet highly capable cutting tool for daily use.
At the core of this design is a 3.5-inch CPM MagnaCut harpoon spearpoint blade. MagnaCut is a premium stainless steel engineered for exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it one of the most well-rounded high-performance steels available today. The harpoon spearpoint profile enhances versatility, providing strong piercing capability, smooth slicing performance, and precise control for detailed cutting tasks. The fullered blade design adds both visual refinement and functional utility, improving handling and reinforcing the knife’s clean, purposeful profile on this non-flipper configuration.
The handle features a striking battle blue clip side and black G-10 construction on the front side that balances bold visual contrast with dependable performance. The textured G-10 surface ensures a secure grip in all conditions, while the layered color scheme adds depth and character without compromising durability. Lightweight, strong, and weather-resistant, G-10 remains a trusted material for serious everyday carry use.
Measuring 8.25 inches overall with a 4.75-inch handle and a 3.50-inch blade, the Eklipse Skinny offers full-hand control in a reduced-profile package. At just 0.452 inches thick on the handle and weighing 4.4 ounces, it delivers a slim carry experience without sacrificing the solid, confidence-in-hand feel Hinderer is known for. The 0.140-inch blade and lockside thickness provide long-term durability under demanding conditions, while the Tri-Way Pivot System allows users to tune the action with bearings, phosphor bronze washers, or Teflon washers depending on preference.
From everyday tasks to demanding field use, this knife is built to perform with consistency, strength, and precision. It represents a refined evolution of a proven platform, offering rugged capability in a more carry-friendly form.
