Hinderer XM-18 Red – Battle Black 3.5in Plain Battle Black Spear Point K2082SGDSWRD

The Hinderer Knives XM-18 Red & Battle Black Spear Point commands attention with bold color and uncompromising performance. Built for those who expect their gear to perform under pressure, this American-made powerhouse combines premium materials, precision machining, and a rugged finish that’s ready for serious work.

At its core is a 3.5″ spear point blade crafted from CPM-20CV stainless steel. Known for outstanding edge retention and impressive corrosion resistance, CPM-20CV is engineered to hold a razor-sharp edge through demanding tasks while standing up to harsh conditions. The spear point grind delivers a perfectly balanced profile, offering strong piercing capability along with controlled slicing performance. With a substantial 0.16″ blade thickness, it provides the strength and durability you need without compromising cutting efficiency.

The blade’s Battle Black finish gives it a stealthy, battle-ready look while adding an extra layer of protection and helping to conceal the signs of hard use. The lockside features a matching Battle Black treatment, creating a cohesive and aggressive aesthetic that contrasts strikingly with the red G-10 handle scale.

The red G-10 handle doesn’t just look bold—it’s built for performance. G-10 is prized for its strength, lightweight properties, and resistance to moisture and temperature changes. The textured surface enhances grip and control, ensuring the knife stays secure in hand during demanding cutting tasks. Measuring 4.75″ closed and 8.25″ overall, the XM-18 offers a full, comfortable grip while remaining practical for daily carry. At 5.6 ounces, it has a solid, reassuring feel that reflects its robust construction.

Deployment is fast and decisive thanks to the blade flipper. A firm press sends the blade snapping open with smooth, confident action. Once open, the framelock engages securely, delivering the strength and reliability that Hinderer knives are known for. The framelock design provides exceptional lockup and stability, reinforcing this knife’s reputation as a serious hard-use tool.

Proudly made in the USA, the XM-18 represents meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. From its precision-machined components to its premium blade steel and durable finishes, every aspect of this knife is designed to perform consistently and withstand years of use.
