Hinderer Eklipse Orange - Battle Blue 3.5in Plain Working Skinny Slicer KEKSKSLHOTWBBLOR

The Hinderer Eklipse Orange & Battle Blue is a striking example of functional design meeting bold aesthetics, making it an ideal choice for an everyday carry folding knife. Proudly made in the USA, this knife demonstrates Hinderer’s commitment to precision craftsmanship, innovation, and durability. Its vibrant orange G-10 handle paired with a Battle Blue stainless steel rear scale creates a visual statement, while the high-performance blade ensures it’s as reliable in use as it is eye-catching.

At the heart of the Eklipse is a 3.5-inch skinny slicer blade crafted from premium CPM MagnaCut stainless steel. MagnaCut is celebrated for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, delivering a blade that excels in everyday tasks as well as demanding applications. The skinny slicer profile, combined with a hollow grind, provides smooth and efficient slicing performance. With a blade thickness of .14 inches, the Eklipse balances agility with strength, making it versatile enough for precision cuts and more substantial tasks alike. The Working finish adds a rugged, utilitarian character, masking wear while maintaining a clean, purposeful look.

The handle design brings together style, comfort, and functionality. The front scale is made from textured orange G-10, offering a secure grip and striking visual appeal. The rear handle is Battle Blue stainless steel, finished to complement the blade while providing durability, structural strength, and balance. Measuring 4.75 inches closed and 8.25 inches overall, the knife carries compactly in a pocket while still providing a full, comfortable grip when open. Weighing only 4.4 ounces, it’s light enough for all-day carry without sacrificing the robust feel of a premium folding knife.

Hinderer’s innovative Tri-Way pivot system allows customization of the blade’s deployment, giving users the choice of ball bearings for ultra-smooth action, phosphor bronze washers for rugged consistency, or Teflon washers for a more traditional feel. The knife opens quickly with the blade flipper or ambidextrous thumb studs, and the framelock ensures rock-solid security when the blade is in use. These features make the Eklipse adaptable to a wide range of cutting tasks while offering a smooth, intuitive deployment every time.

Practical details enhance the knife’s everyday usability. The tip-down pocket clip keeps the knife secure and easily accessible, while the lanyard hole offers options for personalization or alternative carry methods. Every aspect of the Eklipse is designed with real-world functionality in mind, reflecting Hinderer’s dedication to creating knives that perform as well as they look.
