The Hinderer XM-24 has long been a benchmark for American-made craftsmanship, and the 4.0 XM-24 Stonewash Bronze & Black takes that legacy to new heights. Designed for serious users who demand both performance and presence in their knife, this model combines the rugged strength of Hinderer engineering with refined materials and a distinctive finish. The result is a folding knife that’s every bit as capable as it is eye-catching, delivering the confidence to tackle hard use while standing out as a piece of precision design.
At the core of this knife is its 4-inch CPM S45VN stainless steel blade, crafted in the versatile Wharncliffe profile. This blade shape offers exceptional control for slicing and precision work, with a straight edge that excels in push cuts and utility tasks. The stonewash finish not only adds a rugged, working appearance but also helps mask wear and scratches from regular use, keeping the blade looking sharp through years of service. Measuring .16 inches in thickness, the blade provides substantial strength without sacrificing cutting efficiency, making it suitable for everything from daily tasks to demanding field applications.
Deployment is handled by a smooth and reliable blade flipper, giving you immediate one-handed access whenever the job calls for it. Once open, the blade is locked firmly in place by a robust framelock, one of the most trusted locking mechanisms available. With the lock integrated directly into the stainless steel frame, you’ll have complete confidence in the knife’s strength and reliability no matter how tough the work gets.
The handle showcases the balance of materials and design that makes Hinderer knives so distinctive. On the front side, a textured black G-10 scale provides a secure, grippy surface that ensures control even in challenging conditions. On the rear, the Stonewash Bronze stainless steel handle not only reinforces the knife’s strength but also adds a bold, striking aesthetic that complements the blade’s finish perfectly. This thoughtful pairing of function and form is exactly what collectors and users alike admire about Hinderer designs.
At 5.04 inches closed and 9.15 inches overall, the XM-24 is a full-size knife built for real work, yet it’s engineered with balance and ergonomics in mind. The handle design offers comfort for extended use, while the overall build exudes a reassuring solidity in hand. Weighing 6.7 ounces, it carries substantial heft without feeling cumbersome, striking the right balance between durability and practicality.
Additional features include a tip-down pocket clip for secure carry, as well as a lanyard hole for those who prefer customizing their setup or adding quick-access options. Every detail is designed with the user in mind, creating a knife that’s not only powerful but also versatile in how it can be carried and used.
