SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Hinderer XM-18 3.5" Skinny Harpoon Spanto Tri-Way in Stonewash Blue with Blue G10 is a folding knife built for those who demand performance, durability, and unmistakable presence. Among the most aggressive of all 3.5-inch XM-18 blade grinds, the Harpoon Spanto elevates the iconic XM-18 design to a new level of rugged sophistication. By combining the legendary toughness of the Spanto grind with the added “meat” of the Harpoon topline, this blade delivers a reinforced tip capable of handling piercing, slicing, and utility tasks with confidence. The combination of premium CPM-Magnacut steel and the precision grind ensures excellent edge retention while remaining versatile enough for everyday carry or field work. The stonewash blade finish adds extra durability, helps hide wear, and gives the knife a rugged, no-nonsense look.
This special "Skinny" edition preserves all the toughness and utility of the standard model but with a slimmer, more streamlined profile. The knife measures 8.25 inches overall, with a 3.5-inch blade and a 4.75-inch handle, making it compact enough for practical carry while maintaining a substantial feel in hand. The blade thickness and lockside thickness are both 0.140 inches, providing rigidity and strength without unnecessary weight, while the liner thickness of 0.050 inches adds stability and resilience to the frame. The overall handle thickness of 0.452 inches strikes a balance between comfort and control, ensuring a secure grip during precise or demanding tasks.
The handle is crafted from layered Blue G10, paired with a titanium lockside finished in matching stonewash, giving the knife both strength and visual appeal. The Tri-Way pivot system allows users to customize the action with ball bearings, phosphor bronze washers, or Teflon washers, delivering a smooth, controllable deployment tailored to personal preference. Every component, from the reinforced tip to the ergonomically shaped handle, is designed with practical performance in mind. The stonewash finish not only enhances durability and scratch resistance but also reinforces the knife’s aggressive, tactical appearance.
For collectors, outdoorsmen, or everyday carry enthusiasts, the XM-18 3.5" Skinny Harpoon Spanto Tri-Way with Stonewash finish is a knife that performs as impressively as it looks. It’s built to endure, engineered for precision, and crafted to handle the toughest tasks without compromise. This combination of premium materials, innovative design, and tactical practicality makes it a standout in any collection or kit.
