SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Hinderer 3.5 Eklipse Tri-Way Folding Knife in OD Green G-10 with a Battle Black DLC spearpoint blade is a purpose-built tool with an attitude all its own. Designed by Rick Hinderer to stand apart from the XM-18, the Eklipse takes a more linear approach to both blade and handle geometry. When deployed, the blade tip aligns through the center of the handle, placing the cutting edge naturally in line with your grip. The result is a knife that feels balanced, controlled, and surprisingly agile in hand.
The 3.50-inch spearpoint blade is ground from premium CPM S45VN stainless steel, delivering outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. At .165 inches thick, it has the backbone for hard use while maintaining a precise, penetrating point for detailed work. The Battle Black DLC finish adds an extra layer of durability and wear resistance while giving the blade a subdued, tactical presence that means business.
The OD Green G-10 handle offers a confident, secure grip in any environment. Double finger grooves and a sloping underside lock your hand into position, while the thumb ramp with well-executed jimping provides added control for a fencing-style grip. The handle measures 4.75 inches, giving you a full purchase without unnecessary bulk. At 5.6 ounces, the Eklipse carries solidly without weighing you down.
Hinderer’s Tri-Way pivot system lets you fine-tune the action to your preference, whether you favor bearings, phosphor bronze, or Teflon washers. The titanium lockside, finished in Battle Black, features a steel lockbar insert for long-term reliability and strength. Every detail reflects Hinderer’s commitment to building knives that perform under pressure.
Measuring 8.25 inches overall with an overall handle thickness of .540 inches, the Eklipse is engineered for serious work yet refined enough for daily carry. Proudly made in the USA, it represents American craftsmanship backed by real-world experience.
