Hinderer Eklipse Red - Working Finish 3.5in Plain Working Skinny Slicer KEKSKSLHOTWWFRD

The Hinderer Eklipse Red & Working Finish is a knife that combines precision engineering, striking aesthetics, and practical functionality, making it an ideal choice for everyday carry folding knife enthusiasts. Proudly made in the USA, this knife showcases Hinderer’s dedication to American craftsmanship, offering a design that balances performance, style, and durability. With its vibrant red handle and working-finished blade, the Eklipse is as much a statement piece as it is a dependable tool for daily use.

At the heart of the Eklipse is its 3.5-inch skinny slicer blade, crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel. MagnaCut is known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, ensuring that this knife performs reliably in all conditions. The skinny slicer profile provides a precise, reinforced tip for piercing while maintaining a full-length belly for smooth slicing. Enhanced by a hollow grind, the blade delivers superior cutting performance, making it perfect for detailed tasks or more demanding cutting needs. At .14 inches thick, it offers the perfect balance of strength and agility. The Working finish adds a rugged character to the blade while concealing scratches from regular use, allowing it to maintain a professional, utilitarian appearance over time.

The handle design is a testament to both function and style. The front scale is crafted from bold red G-10, offering a secure, textured grip that feels confident in hand during extended use. Complementing this is a rear stainless steel handle finished in the same Working style as the blade, providing structural strength, balance, and visual cohesion. The knife measures 4.75 inches closed and 8.25 inches overall, giving you a compact carry profile while providing a full, comfortable grip when open. Weighing only 4.4 ounces, the Eklipse feels light and nimble without sacrificing the solid, durable feel you want in a premium folding knife.

One of the standout features of the Eklipse is Hinderer’s Tri-Way pivot system. This innovation allows users to tailor the blade action to their preferences, with options for ball bearings, phosphor bronze washers, or Teflon washers. Whether you want ultra-smooth flipping, consistent durability, or a more traditional feel, the pivot system adapts to your needs. The knife deploys quickly with the blade flipper or ambidextrous thumb studs, while the framelock ensures rock-solid blade security, providing peace of mind during use.

Practical touches make this knife even more versatile. A tip-down pocket clip allows secure, accessible carry, and a lanyard hole offers options for personalization or backup retention. Every component of the Eklipse is thoughtfully designed to provide real-world usability, reflecting Hinderer’s commitment to quality and performance in every detail.
