Hinderer Eklipse OD Green - Battle Blue 3.5in Plain Working Skinny Slicer KEKSKSLHOTWBBLOD

The Hinderer Eklipse OD Green & Battle Blue is a folding knife that blends tactical style with precision craftsmanship, offering a perfect combination of functionality and aesthetic appeal. Proudly made in the USA, this everyday carry folding knife exemplifies Hinderer’s commitment to creating tools that are as dependable as they are visually striking. Its olive drab handle paired with the Battle Blue rear scale creates a bold, distinctive look, while the high-performance blade ensures that this knife performs exceptionally in real-world tasks.

At the center of the Eklipse is its 3.5-inch skinny slicer blade, forged from premium CPM MagnaCut stainless steel. MagnaCut has earned a reputation for exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for a knife built to handle everyday use and demanding conditions alike. The skinny slicer profile provides a streamlined, agile cutting edge, while the hollow grind enhances slicing performance, giving the blade an effortless feel through a variety of materials. At .14 inches thick, the blade maintains enough strength for precision cutting and heavier tasks, and the Working finish adds a rugged, functional appearance that hides wear and tear while emphasizing the knife’s utility-focused design.

The handle design combines strength, ergonomics, and visual appeal. The front scale is crafted from olive drab G-10, providing a lightweight and textured surface that delivers a confident, secure grip. The rear handle is Battle Blue stainless steel, finished to match the blade’s Working aesthetic, giving the knife balance and structural integrity while adding a striking contrast that catches the eye. Measuring 4.75 inches closed and 8.25 inches overall, the Eklipse carries comfortably in the pocket while still offering a full, robust grip when open. Weighing only 4.4 ounces, it’s light enough for all-day carry without sacrificing the solid feel and confidence of a premium folding knife.

Hinderer’s innovative Tri-Way pivot system allows users to customize the blade action to their preferences. You can choose between ball bearings for ultra-smooth deployment, phosphor bronze washers for rugged reliability, or Teflon washers for a traditional, controlled feel. The knife opens quickly with the blade flipper or ambidextrous thumb studs, while the framelock ensures a secure and dependable lockup, giving you peace of mind in every cut.

Practical details enhance the knife’s everyday functionality. A tip-down pocket clip provides convenient and secure carry, and the lanyard hole allows for personalization or additional retention options. Every component is thoughtfully designed to maximize usability while maintaining Hinderer’s reputation for durability and precision.
