Hinderer 3.25 XM-18 Tri-Way Folding Knife Battle Blue Black-Blue G-10 Handle SW Spear Point Blade KXM325SPETWBBLBLBK

The Hinderer 3.25 XM-18 Tri-Way Folding Knife with a stonewash spearpoint blade, Battle Blue titanium lockside, and blue-black G-10 handle is a compact workhorse with unmistakable presence. Designed by Rick Hinderer and proudly made in the USA, this XM-18 carries the legacy of hard-use performance in a streamlined 3.25-inch platform that’s built for everyday reliability.

The 3.25-inch spearpoint blade is crafted from premium CPM S45VN stainless steel, delivering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. With a blade thickness of .165 inches, it’s built to handle demanding cutting tasks while maintaining a fine, controllable tip for precision work. The stonewash finish gives the blade a clean, low-glare appearance that helps conceal wear from real use, reinforcing its purpose as a serious cutting tool rather than a safe queen.

At 7.5 inches overall, the XM-18 3.25 offers a balanced combination of control and portability. The blue-black G-10 front scale provides secure traction in hand, offering grip without excessive abrasion. Its layered color pattern adds visual depth while maintaining the durability G-10 is known for. On the reverse side, the titanium lockside is finished in striking Battle Blue, creating bold contrast against the darker blade and scale. The steel lockbar insert ensures consistent, long-term lockup and dependable strength under pressure.

The 4.5-inch handle fills the hand comfortably, with an overall thickness of .540 inches that feels substantial without unnecessary bulk. Weighing 4.8 ounces, it carries solidly and confidently. Hinderer’s Tri-Way pivot system allows you to tune the action to your preference with bearings, phosphor bronze washers, or Teflon washers, giving you complete control over deployment and feel.

Every dimension and material choice reflects Hinderer’s commitment to performance-driven design. This XM-18 is compact enough for daily carry, strong enough for serious work, and finished with details that set it apart from the ordinary.
