Hinderer XM-18 3.25 Flipper Folding Knife Magnacut Spanto/Coyote G-10 and Battle Bronze Titanium KXM325SPANFBBZCY

The Hinderer XM-18 3.25 folding knife stands as a compact workhorse built with the strength, precision, and attention to detail that have made Rick Hinderer’s designs legendary among knife users and collectors. Designed for serious everyday carry, it delivers dependable performance in a tough, streamlined package proudly made in the USA.

Its 3.25-inch Spanto blade is crafted from CPM Magnacut stainless tool steel, a premium material known for exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The Spanto profile blends the reinforced tip strength of a tanto with the slicing ability of a spear point, creating a versatile blade ready for demanding cutting tasks. A blade flipper provides smooth, responsive manual deployment, letting the blade snap open quickly and confidently when you need it.

Lockup is handled by a rugged stainless steel framelock that keeps the blade firmly secured during use. The front handle scale is made from durable Coyote Tan G-10, offering lightweight strength and excellent grip even in challenging conditions. The rear handle, frame, and pocket clip are machined from titanium and finished in Hinderer’s distinctive Battle Bronze treatment, giving the knife a rugged, battle-worn character while adding impressive durability.

Measuring 4.5 inches closed and weighing 4.8 ounces, the XM-18 strikes a balance between compact carry and substantial in-hand feel. A titanium pocket clip keeps the knife secure and easy to access, while the integrated lanyard hole offers additional carry and customization options.
