SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Hinderer Eklipse 3.5 Skinny Slicer is a refined workhorse built for those who want Hinderer performance in a slimmer, lighter package. Designed with everyday carry in mind, the Skinny series takes the trusted full-size Eklipse platform and trims it down in both handle and blade stock, making it ideal for lighter clothing or lower-profile carry without sacrificing toughness or reliability.
This version features a 3.25" CPM Magnacut slicer blade with Hinderer's new hollow grind—engineered to improve cutting performance without giving up structural integrity. The blade wears a working finish that hides wear from hard use and gives the knife a clean, battle-tested look. It opens smoothly via a flipper tab or dual thumb studs, and the action rides on Rick Hinderer’s Tri-Way Pivot System, allowing the user to switch between bearings, phosphor bronze, or nylon washers depending on their preference.
The handle brings together a bold Red G-10 front scale and a Battle Bronze titanium lock side, combining aggressive styling with proven durability. It’s slightly thinner than the standard model, making it easier to pocket and more comfortable in the hand for extended use. Despite the slimmer profile, it maintains the strength, ergonomics, and confidence you expect from a Hinderer.
The lock side is fitted with a steel lockbar insert and tip-down pocket clip, offering secure retention and reliable lockup. Proudly made in the USA, this Skinny Slicer version includes the special “Skinny” logo laser-marked on the flipper tab, along with the “H” to signify the upgraded hollow grind.
For those who want a lightweight powerhouse that blends cutting performance, compact carry, and unmistakable Hinderer craftsmanship, the Eklipse 3.5 Skinny Slicer delivers. Order it today from SMKW!
