The Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint is a rugged, dependable folding knife designed by Rick Hinderer for users who expect their gear to deliver when the work gets demanding. Built around the proven XM-18 platform, this folder combines premium MagnaCut steel, durable G10, a rugged Stonewash finish, and Hinderer’s versatile Tri-Way Pivot System.
The 3.50-inch Spearpoint blade is made from premium MagnaCut steel, giving you an excellent balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Its Spearpoint profile provides a strong, capable tip while maintaining a useful cutting edge for everyday tasks. The Stonewash finish gives the blade a rugged appearance and helps conceal scratches and wear from regular use. At 0.165 inches thick, the blade has the substantial construction expected from a serious Hinderer folder.
The 4.75-inch handle features coyote-colored G10 scales, giving the knife a distinctive earth-tone appearance while providing a secure, durable grip. G10 is well suited to demanding use thanks to its strength, stability, and resistance to moisture. The Stonewash-finished lockside complements the coyote G10 scales, creating a rugged look that’s right at home in the field. With an overall handle thickness of 0.540 inches, the XM-18 offers a substantial feel without becoming unnecessarily bulky.
Hinderer’s Tri-Way Pivot System gives this XM-18 added versatility. The pivot can be configured with bearings, phosphor bronze washers, or nylon washers, allowing you to tailor the knife’s action to your preferred feel. This adaptable system makes it easier to set up the knife according to your personal carry and use preferences.
Measuring 8.25 inches overall and weighing 5.6 ounces, the XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint provides plenty of working capability in a manageable folding design. It’s ready for everyday cutting chores, opening packages, trimming cordage, working around camp, or handling general tasks around the shop and jobsite.
Designed by Rick Hinderer, the XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint represents a straightforward combination of premium materials and rugged engineering. With a MagnaCut blade, coyote G10 handle, and Stonewash finish, it’s a dependable folder made to be carried, used, and relied upon.
