The Hinderer Eklipse Skinny Fullered Magnacut Harpoon Spearpoint Non-Flipper Folder delivers the proven toughness of Rick Hinderer’s flagship design in a refined, slimmed-down profile built for everyday carry. Part of the Skinny Series, this model keeps the full-size Eklipse geometry while reducing handle and blade thickness, creating a lighter, more pocket-friendly knife that disappears in carry but shows up ready for hard use when needed.
The Skinny Series was developed for users who wanted the same performance as the standard Eklipse in a thinner, more discreet package. By trimming bulk without changing overall size, Hinderer created a folder that carries comfortably in everything from jeans to dress slacks while still maintaining the strength, lock integrity, and cutting power the platform is known for. It’s built for those who demand capability without unnecessary weight or pocket presence.
At the core of this design is a 3.5-inch CPM MagnaCut harpoon spearpoint blade finished in clean stonewash. MagnaCut brings elite-level performance to the edge, combining excellent corrosion resistance, high toughness, and outstanding edge retention in a steel built for real-world use. The harpoon spearpoint profile enhances versatility, giving the user confident piercing ability along with refined slicing control. The fullered blade adds both visual depth and functional utility, improving handling and offering a classic Hinderer design cue on this non-flipper configuration.
The handle construction showcases a distinctive two-tone setup. On the clip side, a stonewashed bronze titanium scale adds a rugged, work-ready metallic tone that ties directly into the blade’s stonewashed finish. On the opposite side, coyote G-10 provides a warm, textured surface that ensures secure grip in all conditions while keeping weight down. This combination creates a knife that feels balanced in the hand and visually grounded in natural, tactical tones.
Measuring 8.25 inches overall with a 4.75-inch handle and a 3.50-inch blade, the Eklipse Skinny maintains full-hand ergonomics while minimizing pocket bulk. At just 0.452 inches thick at the handle and weighing 4.4 ounces, it delivers a noticeable reduction in carry weight without sacrificing structural integrity. Blade and lockside thickness of 0.140 inches reinforce its hard-use capability, while Hinderer’s Tri-Way Pivot System allows users to tune the action with bearings, phosphor bronze washers, or Teflon washers depending on preference.
From daily utility tasks to demanding field work, this knife is engineered to perform with precision, strength, and reliability. It’s a refined evolution of a proven platform, designed for users who expect their gear to work as hard as they do without getting in the way.
