Hinderer XM-18 3.25 Flipper Folding Knife Magnacut Spanto/Translucent Green G-10 Battle Bronze Titanium KXM325SPANFBBZTG

Built for demanding users who expect precision, strength, and reliability, the Hinderer XM-18 3.25 folding knife carries the unmistakable DNA of Rick Hinderer’s legendary design philosophy. Compact yet overbuilt in all the right ways, this American-made folder blends premium materials with a proven platform trusted in both hard-use and everyday carry roles.

The 3.25-inch Spanto blade is crafted from CPM Magnacut stainless tool steel, a high-performance steel engineered for outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. It holds up under extended use while maintaining a sharp, capable edge. The Spanto profile enhances its versatility, offering a reinforced tip for durability paired with a strong slicing edge that handles a wide range of cutting tasks with confidence.

A blade flipper enables fast, controlled manual deployment, delivering a smooth and satisfying action that feels deliberate and dependable. Once open, the blade locks firmly into place with a robust stainless steel framelock, ensuring rock-solid security during use.

The handle construction pairs striking aesthetics with real-world durability. The front scale is made from translucent green G-10, offering excellent grip while revealing subtle depth and texture beneath the surface. The titanium rear handle features a Battle Bronze finish, giving it a warm, rugged metallic tone that adds character and wear resistance. A matching titanium pocket clip complements the rear scale, while the internal titanium frame reinforces strength without unnecessary weight. A lanyard hole adds additional carry flexibility for those who prefer it.

At 4.5 inches closed and weighing 4.8 ounces, it carries with a solid, confidence-inspiring presence while still fitting comfortably in the pocket. Designed by master knifemaker Rick Hinderer and proudly made in the USA, it stands as a refined example of modern tactical engineering.
