The Hinderer Eklipse 3.5 folding knife is built for serious performance, combining rugged materials, refined machining, and the unmistakable design language of Rick Hinderer’s work.
A 3.5" CPM S45VN stainless steel spear point blade anchors the build, offering excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance for hard-use environments. The stonewash finish adds a practical, low-maintenance look that helps disguise wear from daily carry and field use.
Opening is quick and reliable with a blade flipper and ambidextrous thumb studs, all running on Hinderer’s well-known Tri-Way pivot system. That system allows the action to be tuned to personal preference, giving the knife a tailored feel right out of the box.
The framelock construction provides strong, dependable lockup, designed to handle demanding cutting tasks without hesitation. An olive drab green G-10 front handle delivers a secure, textured grip with a tactical, understated appearance. On the reverse side, a bronze titanium handle adds strength, balance, and a warm metallic contrast that sets the Eklipse apart visually.
Carry versatility comes from a reversible titanium pocket clip that supports both tip-up and tip-down positioning, letting users set the knife up the way they prefer. At 4.75" closed and 5.6 ounces, it offers a solid, confident feel without becoming unwieldy in the pocket.
