The Hinderer Eklipse Translucent Green & Stonewash is a standout everyday carry folding knife that blends rugged functionality with sleek, modern style. Built around Rick Hinderer’s reputation for precision and performance, this version of the Eklipse is slimmed down with the skinny slicer blade profile, offering excellent cutting performance while maintaining the toughness you’d expect from a knife designed to handle demanding tasks.
The 3.5-inch CPM MagnaCut stainless steel blade is the centerpiece of this knife. MagnaCut has become one of the most sought-after steels in the knife world because it balances exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance like no other. The hollow grind adds slicing efficiency, making this blade not only durable but also highly versatile for everyday cutting. A stonewash finish rounds out the design, giving the blade a rugged, no-nonsense look while minimizing the appearance of wear from regular use. With a blade thickness of .14 inches, it has enough strength for heavier jobs without losing the nimble feel you want in a slicer.
Opening the blade is smooth and intuitive thanks to dual deployment options. You can use the blade flipper for quick, decisive opening, or rely on the ambidextrous thumb studs when you prefer a different approach. Once open, the framelock keeps the blade firmly in place, giving you confidence and security whether you’re working indoors, outdoors, or on the go. This locking system is known for its strength, and Hinderer’s attention to detail ensures it engages cleanly every time.
The handle design is both functional and striking. On the front side, you’ll find a Translucent Green G-10 scale that provides a textured, secure grip while adding a distinctive visual appeal. The rear handle is stonewashed stainless steel, offering strength and balance to complement the lightweight G-10. Together, the materials create a knife that feels substantial in hand while still being comfortable to carry at just 4.4 ounces. The handle design reflects Hinderer’s ability to combine durability with ergonomics, giving you a tool that’s both reliable and comfortable in extended use.
Carrying the Eklipse is straightforward and dependable with the included tip-down pocket clip. It provides a secure hold in your pocket while keeping the knife accessible when you need it most. At 4.75 inches closed and 8.25 inches overall, the Eklipse has a confident presence without being overly bulky. It’s sized just right for an everyday carry folding knife, giving you plenty of cutting edge in a frame that disappears into your pocket when not in use.
