SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Hinderer 3.5 Eklipse Blue is a high-performance folding knife built for serious use. Featuring a 3.5-inch Slicer blade made from CPM S45VN stainless steel, this knife offers a perfect balance of strength, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The stonewashed finish not only enhances durability but also minimizes the appearance of wear from repeated use. Whether you’re tackling demanding cutting tasks or need a reliable tool for everyday carry, this blade is designed to handle it all.
Deployment is smooth and efficient with a combination blade flipper and thumb stud opening system. The flipper ensures quick one-handed deployment, while the thumb stud provides an alternative method for precise blade control. The solid framelock mechanism secures the blade in place, ensuring confidence in every cut. Built for both utility and durability, this locking system is reinforced by the rugged titanium frame, which has also been stonewashed for a worn-in, battle-ready appearance.
The handle is where the Eklipse truly stands out. A vibrant blue G10 scale on the front side provides a secure grip, even in wet conditions, while the titanium liner and frame add strength without unnecessary weight. The ergonomic design includes finger grooves for enhanced comfort, allowing for extended use without hand fatigue. The textured G10 ensures a no-slip hold, making this knife ideal for high-stress environments where control is crucial.
For convenient carry, the Eklipse features a reversible pocket clip designed for right-hand users. Whether clipped to a pocket or gear, this knife stays secure and ready when needed. At 4.75 inches closed and 8.25 inches overall, it strikes the perfect balance between portability and performance. Weighing in at 5.1 ounces, it has enough heft to feel substantial in hand without becoming cumbersome.
