The Hinderer Eklipse 3.5 Folding Knife is built for hard use, demanding environments, and users who refuse to compromise on quality. Designed by legendary knifemaker Rick Hinderer, the Eklipse has become one of the most respected framelock folders in the knife world thanks to its overbuilt construction, smooth deployment, and dependable real-world performance. This configuration pairs rugged tactical styling with premium materials to create a knife that’s equally suited for heavy work, everyday carry, and serious collection value.
Its 3.5” CPM S45VN stainless steel spear point blade offers outstanding toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance for long-term cutting performance under pressure. The spear point profile delivers excellent versatility for slicing, piercing, and utility work, making it a reliable choice for both everyday tasks and challenging cutting situations. Finished with a rugged stonewash, the blade hides wear and scratches from hard use while adding a battle-worn appearance that complements the knife’s aggressive character. Deployment is fast and smooth thanks to the blade flipper and ambidextrous thumb studs, while Hinderer’s renowned Tri-Way pivot system allows users to customize the action for their preferred feel.
The framelock handle combines a textured black G-10 front scale with a rugged bronze titanium rear handle for an impressive balance of grip, strength, and bold visual contrast. Ergonomically contoured for comfort and control, the Eklipse feels secure during prolonged use while still carrying comfortably in the pocket. A reversible titanium pocket clip supports both tip-up and tip-down carry configurations for maximum versatility. At 4.75” closed and weighing 5.6 ounces, this proudly American-made folder carries with confidence and authority.
