The Hinderer Knives Flashpoint Fixed Knife delivers serious cutting performance in a compact platform that’s built for daily use. Designed by Rick Hinderer and drawing clear influence from the proven XM-18, the Flashpoint takes that trusted design language and translates it into a dependable fixed blade you can carry anywhere.
Its 3-inch CPM MagnaCut sheepsfoot blade is purpose-built for control and durability. The stonewashed finish helps mask wear from repeated use, keeping the blade looking clean while standing up to tough tasks. MagnaCut steel is known for its balanced performance, offering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, so you won’t have to worry about it falling short when the work adds up. The sheepsfoot grind provides a straight cutting edge and a reinforced tip, making it ideal for slicing, utility cuts, and detailed work where precision is key.
With an overall length of 6 3/8 inches and a weight of just 2.4 ounces, the Flashpoint is easy to carry without sacrificing capability. The FDE G-10 handle is contoured to fit naturally in your hand, providing a secure, confident grip that doesn’t slip when pressure is applied. It fills the palm better than you’d expect from a knife this size, giving you control and comfort during extended use.
The included low-profile Kydex sheath keeps the knife secure while offering multiple carry options. Whether you prefer to carry it in your pocket, on your belt, or along your waistband, the slim design makes it easy to integrate into your everyday setup. It stays out of the way until you need it, then deploys quickly when it’s time to get to work.
Built with premium materials and a focus on real-world use, the Flashpoint stands out as a compact fixed blade that doesn’t compromise. It’s a reliable tool that handles daily tasks with confidence, combining thoughtful ergonomics, high-end steel, and versatile carry into one efficient package.
Lightweight carry with a full-hand feel, available at SMKW.
