With a 3" S45VN stainless steel Wharncliffe blade, this knife is designed to excel at slicing tasks, delivering an exceptional edge that holds up under heavy use. The stonewash finish on the blade enhances its wear resistance while adding a tough, well-used aesthetic that matches its hardworking capabilities.

The blade flipper makes single-handed opening a breeze, while the framelock mechanism ensures the blade stays secure during use.

Together, these materials form a lightweight yet incredibly tough handle that withstands hard use and exposure to the elements. For easy carry, the XM-18 includes a reversible stainless steel pocket clip, allowing tip-up or tip-down placement depending on your preference. A built-in lanyard hole further enhances carry options, catering to users who prefer additional security or style with a lanyard.
Weighing just 3.7 ounces and measuring 4 inches closed, the XM-18 delivers substantial strength in a compact, pocket-friendly size. This knife isn’t just a tool; it’s a statement of American craftsmanship and ingenuity, proudly made in the USA to meet the demands of users who require reliability, performance, and style in their everyday carry.
