Hinderer 3.5 Eklipse Skinny Slicer Battle Bronze - Black 3.5in Plain Working Slicer KEK35SKSLHOTWBBZBK

The Hinderer 3.5 Eklipse Skinny Slicer Black & Battle Bronze delivers a perfect balance of rugged utility and refined design. Created by Rick Hinderer and proudly made in the USA, this folding knife stands as a testament to precision engineering and American craftsmanship. It’s built for those who demand a reliable, hard-working tool that doesn’t compromise on style or performance.

At the heart of this knife is a 3.5-inch CPM MagnaCut stainless steel blade with a Skinny Slicer Hollow Ground profile. Known for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, MagnaCut is one of the most advanced blade steels available today. The hollow grind enhances cutting efficiency, giving the blade an edge that’s sharp enough for precision work yet durable enough for heavy use. Finished in Hinderer’s Working finish, the blade carries a rugged, stonewashed look that helps conceal scratches from daily wear and tear while adding to its utilitarian appeal.

Opening the knife is fast and effortless thanks to the smooth blade flipper action. The manual deployment feels solid and responsive, making it ideal for both quick tasks and more deliberate work. A secure framelock keeps the blade firmly in place during use, providing the confidence you need for challenging cutting jobs while still allowing for easy one-handed closing.

The handle design combines durability and comfort with a striking two-tone aesthetic. The front scale is made from textured black G-10, providing a reliable, non-slip grip that feels great in hand. On the rear, Battle Bronze stainless steel adds a warm, rugged contrast that enhances the knife’s overall visual appeal. Every curve and contour of the handle is designed for ergonomic comfort, giving you a secure hold even during extended use.

Sized for real-world practicality, the Eklipse measures 4.75 inches closed and 8.25 inches overall, with a .14-inch blade thickness that balances strength and slicing ability. Weighing just 4.4 ounces, it carries easily without weighing you down. The tip-down pocket clip ensures secure, discreet carry and keeps the knife ready for action when you need it most.

The 3.5 Eklipse Skinny Slicer embodies everything Rick Hinderer Knives is known for—strength, precision, and purposeful design. It’s a knife that feels at home in a collection but is built to earn its place in your daily rotation. Whether you’re tackling everyday tasks, working in the field, or simply appreciating fine craftsmanship, this knife is ready to deliver.
