Hinderer 3.5 XM-18 Skinny Harpoon Spanto Tri-Way Working Finish Blue/Black G-10 KXM35SKHSTWWFBLBK

The Hinderer XM-18 3.5" Skinny Harpoon Spanto Tri-Way is a folding knife built for serious performance and unmistakable presence. Among the most aggressive of all 3.5-inch XM-18 blade grinds, the Harpoon Spanto takes the rugged look and legendary toughness of the XM-18 to the next level. By combining the proven strength of the Spanto grind with the added “meat” of the Harpoon topline, this knife delivers a signature blade that handles demanding tasks with confidence. It’s a tool designed for those who want both form and function, whether in the field, at camp, or as a reliable part of everyday carry.

This version features Rick Hinderer’s special “Skinny” edition, which provides all the durability and utility of the standard model while offering a slightly slimmer profile. This makes it more agile in hand without sacrificing strength, ensuring you get a versatile cutting tool that performs in tight spaces or on extended tasks. The 3.5-inch CPM-Magnacut steel blade is built to hold an edge, resist corrosion, and endure heavy use, making it a dependable companion for any situation. The working finish on both the blade and lockside emphasizes utility and resilience, reducing glare and providing a textured, rugged look that complements the knife’s aggressive design.

The handle features a dual-tone design with a Blue Stonewash titanium lockside for strength and a Black G-10 show side for durability and tactical flair. Measuring 4.75 inches, the handle provides a secure grip in all conditions. With an overall thickness of 0.452 inches, this handle feels balanced and solid in the hand while remaining comfortable for extended use. The Tri-Way pivot system allows users to customize the knife’s action using ball bearings, Teflon washers, or phosphor bronze washers, giving you the ability to dial in the feel you prefer. Liner thickness of 0.050 inches and a lockside thickness of 0.140 inches add to the knife’s rigidity and confidence-inspiring performance. Every detail, from the ergonomics of the handle to the reinforced tip of the Harpoon Spanto blade, is designed with precision and durability in mind.

With its combination of premium materials, aggressive design, and tactical functionality, the XM-18 3.5" Skinny Harpoon Spanto stands as a testament to Hinderer’s commitment to crafting high-performance folding knives. It’s a knife that commands respect, performs flawlessly, and looks as tough as it is capable. Whether you’re a collector or a professional who relies on reliable cutting tools, this dual-tone model delivers unmatched utility and style.
