The Hinderer Eklipse 3.5 Folding Knife is built for users who demand uncompromising strength, premium materials, and dependable performance in every situation. Designed by legendary knifemaker Rick Hinderer, the Eklipse has become one of the most respected hard-use folders on the market thanks to its rugged construction, smooth action, and purpose-driven design. This version combines tactical styling with standout finishes that give it a bold, battle-ready appearance while maintaining the serious durability Hinderer knives are known for.
Its 3.5” CPM 20CV stainless steel Wharncliffe blade delivers exceptional cutting performance with outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness for heavy daily use. The aggressive Wharncliffe profile excels at controlled slicing and utility work, making it an ideal choice for precision cuts and demanding everyday carry tasks. Finished in Hinderer’s rugged Working Finish, the blade has a worn, field-tested appearance that helps conceal scratches and signs of hard use over time. Deployment is fast and reliable with both the blade flipper and ambidextrous thumb studs, while the famous Tri-Way pivot system allows users to customize the action to their exact preference.
The framelock handle pairs an olive green G-10 front scale with a striking Battle Blue titanium rear handle for a combination of rugged grip and premium strength. Ergonomically shaped for comfort and control, the handle feels secure in hand during hard work while still carrying comfortably in the pocket. A reversible titanium pocket clip supports both tip-up and tip-down carry options for maximum versatility. Measuring 4.75” closed and weighing 5.6 ounces, this handmade American folder is built to perform under pressure without compromise.
