The Hinderer Knives Flashpoint Fixed Knife brings serious performance to a compact platform, delivering the kind of dependability you expect from a blade designed by Rick Hinderer. Drawing inspiration from the legendary XM-18, this fixed blade carries forward that proven design language in a streamlined form built for everyday carry and hard use.
At the center of the Flashpoint is a 3-inch CPM MagnaCut sheepsfoot blade finished in a Battle Black DLC coating. This advanced finish adds an extra layer of protection against wear and corrosion while giving the knife a low-profile, non-reflective look. MagnaCut steel is engineered for balance, offering excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, so it performs consistently without demanding constant maintenance. The sheepsfoot grind provides a strong, straight cutting edge and enhanced tip strength, making it ideal for controlled slicing, utility cuts, and detail work where precision matters.
With an overall length of 6 3/8 inches and a weight of just 2.4 ounces, the Flashpoint is compact enough for daily carry while still delivering a confident feel in hand. The black G-10 handle is contoured to fill your grip, offering a secure and stable hold during extended use. It’s shaped for comfort and control, ensuring the knife stays planted when the work gets demanding.
The included low-profile Kydex sheath is designed for versatility and discreet carry. Whether you choose to carry it in your pocket, on your belt, or along your waistband, the sheath keeps the Flashpoint secure and accessible without adding unnecessary bulk. It’s a practical setup that fits seamlessly into your daily routine while keeping your blade within easy reach.
Built with premium materials and a focus on real-world function, the Flashpoint stands out as a compact fixed blade that doesn’t cut corners. It’s a dependable tool designed to handle everyday tasks with confidence, combining advanced steel, thoughtful ergonomics, and flexible carry options into one capable package.
