Hinderer 3.5 XM-18 Bowie Translucent Green – Battle Black 3.5in Plain Black Bowie KXM35BOWMCDTWBBKTG

The Hinderer 3.5 XM-18 Bowie Translucent Green - Battle Black blends striking visual appeal with uncompromising performance, making it a standout in the XM-18 lineup. Designed with Rick Hinderer’s signature focus on strength, precision, and reliability, this knife is built for demanding users while offering the refined quality collectors admire.

Its core is a 3.5-inch CPM Magnacut Bowie blade, a modern super steel prized for its exceptional toughness, edge retention, and resistance to corrosion. The Bowie profile gives this blade an aggressive edge geometry, ideal for piercing, slicing, and heavier cutting tasks, while the .16-inch thickness ensures durability. Finished in battle black, the blade takes on a tactical appearance that underscores its rugged capability. A blade flipper provides fast, decisive deployment, and the framelock mechanism guarantees solid lockup during use. With the inclusion of Hinderer’s innovative Tri-Way Pivot system, you can fine-tune the knife’s action to your preference, switching between bearings, phosphor bronze, or Teflon washers for the feel and performance you want.

The handle design combines strength, grip, and eye-catching style. The front scale is crafted from translucent green G-10, giving the knife a distinctive and modern look while offering secure handling. The rear handle, made of battle black stainless steel, reinforces durability and adds a bold contrast to the lighter-toned G-10. Together, these materials create a handle that’s both ergonomic and visually striking. At 4.75 inches closed, the XM-18 provides a confident grip without feeling oversized. Weighing 5.6 ounces, it delivers reassuring heft while remaining practical for carry. The tip-down pocket clip ensures the knife stays secure and ready when needed.

When open, the XM-18 measures 8.25 inches, a size that balances cutting power with portability. The robust blade thickness enhances strength, while the geometry of the Bowie profile ensures efficiency in slicing and piercing applications. This makes the knife highly versatile, r
