The Hinderer Eklipse 3.5 Folding Knife is a hard-use powerhouse built for serious everyday carry and demanding real-world performance. Designed by legendary knifemaker Rick Hinderer, the Eklipse has earned a reputation for rugged reliability, precision engineering, and battle-tested durability trusted by knife enthusiasts, first responders, and working professionals alike. This version pairs aggressive styling with premium materials to create a folding knife that looks every bit as capable as it performs.
Its 3.5” CPM 20CV stainless steel Wharncliffe blade delivers exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance while offering outstanding control for utility cuts and precision work. The rugged Working Finish gives the blade a worn-in appearance that helps hide scratches and use marks over time, making it ideal for heavy carry and daily tasks. Fast deployment comes from both the blade flipper and ambidextrous thumb studs, while Hinderer’s famous Tri-Way pivot system lets users fine-tune the action to their personal preference for smooth, dependable operation.
The framelock construction provides rock-solid lockup, pairing an olive drab green G-10 front scale with a titanium rear handle finished in the same rugged Working Finish as the blade. The ergonomic handle design offers excellent grip and control under tough conditions without sacrificing comfort in pocket carry. A reversible titanium pocket clip supports tip-up or tip-down carry for added versatility. At 4.75” closed and weighing 5.6 ounces, the Eklipse strikes a confident balance between heavy-duty strength and practical everyday usability. Proudly handmade in the USA, it represents the uncompromising craftsmanship Hinderer knives are known for.
