The Hinderer Eklipse 3.0 is built for hard use, precision performance, and uncompromising durability, carrying the unmistakable design language of Rick Hinderer. Every detail is engineered with purpose, blending premium materials with a compact, high-strength platform suited for demanding everyday carry or tactical environments.
The blade measures 3” and is crafted from CPM 20CV stainless steel, a high-end steel known for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. Its Harpoon Spanto profile reinforces the tip for heavy-duty piercing and utility work while still offering strong slicing capability along the belly. The Working Finish adds a rugged, purpose-driven surface that helps mask wear and maintains a broken-in look through real use. A flipper tab enables quick, reliable manual deployment with smooth, controlled action.
A robust stainless steel linerlock secures the blade with solid, dependable lockup during hard use. It’s designed for strength and simplicity, delivering consistent performance without unnecessary complexity.
The handles feature red G-10 scales over a Battle Blue titanium frame, creating a striking contrast while delivering serious structural integrity. The G-10 provides a secure, aggressive grip texture that performs well in all conditions, while the titanium frame reinforces the build with long-lasting rigidity. A titanium pocket clip rounds out the design, offering secure and reliable carry.
At 4.31” closed and weighing 4.2 ounces, the Eklipse 3.0 carries with a confident, substantial feel while remaining practical for everyday pocket carry.
