The Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Framelock Flipper brings together premium materials, overbuilt construction, and field-proven performance in one of the most respected hard-use folders ever made. Designed by master knifemaker Rick Hinderer, this American-made powerhouse is built to thrive under pressure while delivering the smooth action and precision fit collectors and everyday users appreciate. From demanding work environments to weekend carry, the XM-18 3.5 is ready for whatever the day throws at it.
The 3.5” bowie blade is crafted from CPM S45VN stainless tool steel and finished in Hinderer’s signature Working Finish for a rugged appearance that naturally masks wear from heavy use. The bowie profile offers outstanding slicing performance with a reinforced tip that handles detail work and tougher cutting tasks with confidence. Deployment is fast and satisfying thanks to the blade flipper and ambidextrous thumb studs, while the Tri-Way pivot system allows you to customize the action to your preferred feel.
The handle features striking translucent green G-10 on the front side paired with a rugged gray titanium lock side for a unique look that still delivers serious grip and durability. The titanium framelock provides dependable lockup and long-term strength, while the titanium pocket clip and integrated lanyard hole give you multiple carry options. Measuring 4.75” closed and weighing 5.6 ounces, this XM-18 offers a solid, confidence-inspiring feel in hand without sacrificing carry comfort.
