Hinderer XM-18 3.25 Non Flipper Folding Knife Magnacut Spanto/Red G-10 and Working Finish Titanium KXM325SPANFTWWFRD

Built for serious everyday carry and hard use, the Hinderer XM-18 3.25 folding knife reflects the rugged craftsmanship and practical design that have made Rick Hinderer’s knives legendary among enthusiasts and professionals alike. Compact, durable, and engineered with premium materials, this American-made folder is built to perform when it matters most.

The 3.25-inch Spanto blade is crafted from CPM Magnacut stainless tool steel, one of the most advanced blade steels available today. Known for its outstanding balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, Magnacut keeps working long after lesser steels have dulled. The Spanto blade shape combines the strength of a tanto with the slicing efficiency of a spear point, giving you a versatile cutting profile that handles precision work and demanding tasks with equal confidence.

Smooth manual operation comes from ambidextrous thumb studs, allowing for fast, controlled deployment. Once open, the blade locks solidly into place with a robust stainless steel framelock, delivering the kind of dependable strength Hinderer knives are known for.

The handle construction balances grip, durability, and visual contrast. The front scale is built from rugged red G-10, offering excellent traction and resilience in demanding conditions. The rear handle and pocket clip are titanium with Hinderer’s distinctive Working Finish, a rugged treatment designed to hide wear while giving the knife a tough, battle-ready appearance. A titanium frame and integrated lanyard hole add strength and versatility, while the 4.5-inch closed length and 4.8-ounce weight give the knife a confident, substantial feel in hand.
