SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Hinderer 3.5 Eklipse Red is built for those who demand strength, precision, and reliability in a folding knife. Designed by Rick Hinderer, this knife embodies rugged durability with a refined touch, making it ideal for everyday carry and hard-use applications.
At the core of the Eklipse is its 3.5-inch slicer blade, crafted from high-performance CPM S45VN stainless steel. This premium steel offers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, ensuring the blade performs reliably under demanding conditions. The stonewash finish adds a rugged aesthetic while helping to hide scratches and wear from regular use. The combination of a blade flipper and a thumb stud provides multiple quick-deployment options, making the knife easy to open whether you prefer a flick of the wrist or a controlled thumb movement.
The handle of the Eklipse is designed for both comfort and durability. A striking red G10 scale on the front provides a secure, textured grip, while the stonewashed titanium liner and frame offer exceptional strength without unnecessary weight. The framelock mechanism ensures a solid, dependable lockup, preventing accidental closures during hard use. Ergonomically designed with subtle finger grooves and a well-balanced shape, the knife fits naturally in hand, providing a confident grip for a variety of cutting tasks.
For versatility in carry, the knife features a reversible pocket clip designed for right-handed users. At 4.75 inches closed and 8.25 inches overall, the Eklipse maintains an ideal balance between portability and function. Weighing 5.1 ounces, it carries well in the pocket while still offering the heft expected from a premium tactical folder.
Whether used for utility work, outdoor adventures, or daily tasks, the Hinderer 3.5 Eklipse Red is built to perform with reliability and strength. Its combination of premium materials, ergonomic design, and smooth deployment make it a top-tier choice for knife enthusiasts and professionals alike. Order it today from SMKW!
