The Hinderer Eklipse 3.5 folding knife is a purpose-built hard-use folder built around premium materials, rugged geometry, and the refined engineering Rick Hinderer is known for.
Its 3.5" CPM S45VN stainless steel spear point blade delivers excellent edge retention, high toughness, and corrosion resistance, while the rugged stonewash finish helps it shrug off scratches from real-world carry.
Deployment is quick and controlled with a blade flipper and ambidextrous thumb studs, riding on Hinderer’s Tri-Way pivot system that allows users to tune the action to preference.
The framelock design locks up solid, while the FDE G-10 front scale provides a secure, textured grip and the bronze titanium lock side adds strength and visual contrast.
At 4.75 inches closed and 5.6 ounces, it carries with noticeable presence without feeling cumbersome in the pocket, and the reversible titanium clip supports tip-up or tip-down carry.
