The Hinderer Eklipse 3.5 Folding Knife is a serious hard-use folder built for users who demand top-tier materials, precision engineering, and rugged dependability. Designed by legendary knifemaker Rick Hinderer, the Eklipse platform has become one of the most respected folding knives in the industry thanks to its overbuilt construction, smooth action, and proven real-world performance. This striking configuration pairs aggressive styling with premium craftsmanship for a knife that performs as hard as it looks.
Its 3.5” CPM S45VN stainless steel spear point blade delivers outstanding toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance for demanding everyday carry and heavy cutting tasks. The spear point profile provides excellent versatility for slicing, piercing, and precision utility work, while the rugged stonewash finish helps conceal wear from daily use and gives the blade a broken-in working appearance. Quick, reliable deployment comes from both the blade flipper and ambidextrous thumb studs, and Hinderer’s famous Tri-Way pivot system allows users to tune the action to their preferred feel for smooth operation under pressure.
The framelock handle combines a bold blue and black checkered G-10 front scale with a stonewash blue titanium rear handle for a unique blend of visual style, grip security, and structural strength. Ergonomically shaped for comfort and control, the Eklipse feels secure in hand whether tackling hard work or routine cutting tasks. A reversible titanium pocket clip supports both tip-up and tip-down carry options, giving users flexible carry preferences. Measuring 4.75” closed and weighing 5.6 ounces, this proudly American-made folder offers heavy-duty capability without compromise.
