The Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Non Flipper is a purpose-built hard-use folder that delivers the rugged performance, precision engineering, and premium craftsmanship Rick Hinderer knives are known for. Proudly made in the USA, this powerhouse EDC is built to thrive in demanding conditions while maintaining the smooth action and refined fit and finish collectors and working users appreciate alike.
At the center of this build is a 3.5" CPM S45VN stainless tool steel slicer blade with a rugged stonewash finish. The slicer grind offers exceptional cutting efficiency and slicing performance, making it an outstanding choice for daily utility work, outdoor carry, and tough cutting tasks. The stonewashed finish helps disguise wear from use while adding a battle-ready appearance that fits the XM-18’s reputation perfectly. Ambidextrous thumb studs provide fast, dependable manual deployment, and Hinderer’s renowned Tri-Way pivot system delivers incredibly smooth action with customizable tuning options.
The titanium framelock construction provides rock-solid lockup and long-term durability you can trust under hard use. A textured black G-10 front handle offers excellent grip and a clean tactical look, while the stonewashed titanium rear handle keeps the knife lightweight, strong, and ready for years of dependable service. The titanium pocket clip ensures secure carry and quick access, and the integrated lanyard hole gives you additional carry and customization options.
Measuring 4.75" closed and weighing 5.6 ounces, the XM-18 3.5 carries comfortably while still offering the size and strength needed for serious work. Every detail reflects Rick Hinderer’s commitment to real-world functionality and American-made quality.
