The Hinderer Eklipse 3.5 Folding Knife is a heavy-duty everyday carry built for serious users who expect premium materials, flawless construction, and proven reliability. Designed by legendary knifemaker Rick Hinderer, the Eklipse has earned its reputation as one of the toughest and most trusted framelock folders on the market. Combining aggressive styling with practical performance, this American-made folder is engineered to excel under hard use while maintaining the smooth precision Hinderer knives are known for.
Its 3.5” CPM S45VN stainless steel spear point blade offers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness for demanding cutting tasks. The versatile spear point profile handles slicing, piercing, and utility work with confidence, making it equally suited for daily carry and heavy-duty applications. Finished in a rugged stonewash, the blade hides wear from repeated use while giving the knife a battle-worn appearance that fits its hardworking design. Deployment is fast and dependable thanks to both the blade flipper and ambidextrous thumb studs, while Hinderer’s legendary Tri-Way pivot system allows users to fine-tune the action for their preferred feel and performance.
The framelock handle pairs a bold red G-10 front scale with a striking stonewash blue titanium rear handle for a rugged combination of grip, durability, and standout style. The ergonomic design provides excellent control and comfort during prolonged use without sacrificing pocket carry convenience. A reversible titanium pocket clip supports tip-up or tip-down carry configurations for added versatility. Measuring 4.75” closed and weighing 5.6 ounces, the Eklipse feels substantial in hand while remaining practical for everyday carry duties. Proudly made in the USA, this knife reflects Rick Hinderer’s uncompromising commitment to craftsmanship and performance.
