Hinderer 3.25 XM-18 Tri-Way Folding Knife Working Finish Coyote G-10 Handle SW Spear Point Blade KXM325SPEWFSWBLCY

The Hinderer 3.25 XM-18 Tri-Way Folding Knife with a stonewash spearpoint blade and Coyote G-10 handle is a compact workhorse built with purpose. Designed by Rick Hinderer and proudly made in the USA, this XM-18 brings proven performance into a size that’s ideal for everyday carry without giving up the strength and durability the brand is known for.

The 3.25-inch spearpoint blade is crafted from premium CPM S45VN stainless steel, delivering exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. At .165 inches thick, it has the structural integrity for demanding cutting tasks while maintaining a fine, controllable point for precision work. The stonewash finish adds a practical, low-glare look and helps conceal wear from real use, giving the blade a broken-in character that only improves over time.

Measuring 7.5 inches overall, this XM-18 hits the sweet spot between portability and capability. The front scale is textured Coyote G-10, offering a secure grip in wet, dry, or gloved conditions. It’s comfortable in hand without being overly aggressive in the pocket. On the reverse side, the titanium lockside features Hinderer’s Working Finish, adding a subdued, industrial look that pairs perfectly with the stonewashed blade. The steel lockbar insert ensures long-term lockup reliability and added strength under pressure.

The ergonomic handle measures 4.5 inches in length with an overall thickness of .540 inches, filling the hand without feeling bulky. At 4.8 ounces, it carries with confidence while remaining practical for daily use. The XM-18 also features Hinderer’s Tri-Way pivot system, allowing you to fine-tune the action with your choice of bearings, phosphor bronze washers, or Teflon washers. Whether you prefer glass-smooth deployment or a more traditional feel, the choice is yours.

Every line, grind, and material choice reflects Hinderer’s commitment to building tools that work as hard as you do. This isn’t just a folding knife—it’s a precision-built cutting instrument designed to perform day in and day out.
