CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESDesigned by legendary knifemaker Rick Hinderer, the 3.5" Eklipse Skinny Slicer is a no-nonsense cutting tool built for serious use. This premium American-made folder features a 3.5" CPM-Magnacut stainless tool steel blade with a rugged stonewash finish, shaped in Hinderer’s versatile Skinny Slicer profile. It’s a blade that’s built to bite—lean enough to slice efficiently, tough enough to take a beating.
The knife opens smoothly via flipper thanks to Hinderer’s Tri-Way Pivot System, which gives users the option to customize their pivot action using bearings, Teflon, or phosphor bronze washers. Once deployed, the blade locks up solid with a stonewashed titanium framelock, offering the dependable strength expected from Hinderer’s battle-tested designs.
The front handle scale is made from blue G-10, textured for a firm grip even in gloved or wet conditions. The lockside is solid stonewashed blue titanium with matching hardware, a reversible pocket clip, and that unmistakable Hinderer fit and finish. At 4.75" closed and 4.4 ounces, the Eklipse balances hard-use durability with just enough refinement to make it a joy to carry.
Every detail of this knife—from the geometry of the blade grind to the clean lines of the handle—reflects Rick Hinderer’s commitment to practical design, American craftsmanship, and field-ready performance. Built for those who rely on their gear, it’s the kind of knife that earns its place in your kit the moment you open it.
