Hinderer Eklipse Blue – Stonewash 3.5in Plain Stonewash Skinny Slicer KEK35SKSLHOTWSWBL

The Hinderer Eklipse Blue & Stonewash is a refined example of what happens when craftsmanship, performance, and style all come together in one everyday carry folding knife. Designed by Rick Hinderer, the Eklipse is built to handle real-world cutting tasks while delivering the kind of smooth action and durability that collectors and users alike appreciate. This version showcases the skinny slicer blade profile in CPM MagnaCut steel, paired with a bold blue G-10 handle that sets it apart both visually and functionally.

At the core of this knife is a 3.5-inch skinny slicer blade crafted from premium CPM MagnaCut stainless steel. Known for its remarkable balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, MagnaCut is widely regarded as one of the finest modern steels available. The hollow ground edge ensures precision slicing performance while retaining the durability you’d expect from a hard-working folding knife. Finished in stonewash, the blade has a rugged, practical look that hides wear and scratches, making it ideal for frequent use. Measuring .14 inches thick, the blade has the strength to handle demanding jobs while staying nimble and efficient.

The Eklipse gives you multiple ways to deploy the blade. Whether you prefer the quick action of the blade flipper or the control of the ambidextrous thumb studs, opening is smooth, reliable, and easy to tailor to your style. Hinderer’s Tri-Way pivot system takes this a step further, allowing you to choose between phosphor bronze washers, Teflon, or ball bearings, so you can customize the action to your exact preference. Once the blade is open, the framelock mechanism secures it solidly in place, ensuring confidence during use.

The handle brings together strength, ergonomics, and style. On the front, the textured blue G-10 scale provides a secure and comfortable grip, with a splash of color that makes the knife stand out. The rear handle is stonewashed stainless steel, balancing the lightweight G-10 with a durable metal frame that gives the knife its solid foundation. The ergonomics of the Eklipse handle are carefully designed to feel natural in hand, whether you’re making precise cuts or tackling more demanding work. At 4.4 ounces, it strikes a perfect balance between being sturdy and easy to carry.

Practical carry is made simple with the tip-down pocket clip. It holds the knife securely in place while keeping it accessible when you need it most. The Eklipse measures 4.75 inches closed and 8.25 inches overall, giving you a knife that feels substantial without being cumbersome. It rides comfortably in the pocket while still delivering plenty of blade length for everyday cutting tasks.

The Hinderer Eklipse Blue & Stonewash isn’t just a tool; it’s a statement piece for anyone who values quality, performance, and design.
