The Hinderer 3.5 Eklipse Skinny Slicer in Translucent Green and Battle Bronze is a masterclass in American craftsmanship and functional design. Built for the demands of everyday carry, this folding knife is designed by Rick Hinderer and proudly made in the USA, combining premium materials with a striking aesthetic that sets it apart from the crowd. It’s the kind of knife that feels as good in the hand as it looks in the pocket.
At its core is a 3.5-inch CPM MagnaCut stainless steel blade with a Skinny Slicer Hollow Ground profile. The MagnaCut steel delivers an impressive balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for real-world use in any environment. The hollow grind enhances cutting performance, giving you a razor-sharp edge that glides through daily tasks with ease. Finished with Hinderer’s signature Working finish, the blade offers a rugged, worn-in look that’s as practical as it is attractive, helping to hide scratches and wear over time.
Deploying the blade is fast and intuitive thanks to a well-tuned blade flipper. The action is smooth and deliberate, designed for reliable performance without the need for springs or assists. The framelock mechanism ensures secure lockup during use, while still allowing for easy one-handed closing.
The handle is where form meets function in a big way. On the front, you’ll find a translucent green G-10 scale that adds a subtle pop of color and provides excellent grip. The rear handle showcases Battle Bronze-finished stainless steel, adding a tough, warm-toned contrast that makes this Eklipse stand out. Every curve and contour of the handle is engineered for ergonomics, giving you a secure and comfortable grip whether you’re working outdoors or just opening packages.
At 4.75 inches closed and 8.25 inches overall, this manual folder strikes the perfect balance between portability and capability. The .14-inch blade thickness gives it plenty of strength without adding unnecessary weight, keeping the total weight at a manageable 4.4 ounces. A tip-down pocket clip allows for secure carry and quick access when you need it most.
