Hinderer 3.25 XM-18 Tri-Way Folding Knife Battle Blue Orange G-10 Handle SW Spear Point Blade KXM325SPETWBBLOR

The Hinderer 3.25 XM-18 Tri-Way Folding Knife in Battle Blue with an orange G-10 handle and stonewash spearpoint blade delivers bold color backed by serious performance. Designed by Rick Hinderer and proudly made in the USA, this compact XM-18 carries the same hard-use DNA as its larger counterparts, scaled down to a highly practical everyday platform.

The 3.25-inch spearpoint blade is crafted from premium CPM S45VN stainless steel, offering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. With a blade thickness of .165 inches, it has the strength to tackle demanding cutting tasks while maintaining precise control at the tip. The stonewash finish provides a low-glare, work-focused appearance that helps conceal wear from real use, reinforcing the knife’s purpose-built nature. The spearpoint profile adds versatility, making it equally capable of slicing, piercing, and detailed utility work.

At 7.5 inches overall, the XM-18 3.25 balances compact carry with full-size capability. The orange G-10 front scale offers secure traction and high visibility, giving you a confident grip in any environment. It’s textured for control without being overly aggressive in the pocket. On the reverse side, the titanium lockside is finished in striking Battle Blue, creating a sharp contrast against the bright scale and stonewashed blade. The lockside features a steel lockbar insert for long-term reliability and consistent lockup under pressure.

The 4.5-inch handle fills the hand comfortably, with an overall thickness of .540 inches that provides solid ergonomics without unnecessary bulk. Weighing 4.8 ounces, it carries with reassuring substance while remaining practical for daily use. Hinderer’s Tri-Way pivot system allows you to customize the action with bearings, phosphor bronze washers, or Teflon washers, giving you complete control over deployment feel and performance.

Every detail reflects Hinderer’s commitment to building knives that work when it matters most. This XM-18 isn’t just about standout color—it’s about American-made strength, premium materials, and dependable cutting power you can count on, available at SMKW.
