The Hinderer XM-18 3.25-inch Tri-Way Folding Knife in Translucent Green G-10 is a compact, high-performance folder built for precision, control, and dependable cutting. Part of Rick Hinderer’s iconic XM-18 line, this knife combines premium materials, thoughtful engineering, and practical dimensions to deliver a tool that performs with confidence in both everyday carry and demanding tasks.

At its core is a 3.25-inch spear point blade made from CPM S45VN stainless steel, known for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The spear point profile provides a strong, centered tip for precise piercing and controlled slicing, while the straight cutting edge handles utility work efficiently. The stonewashed finish minimizes glare and helps conceal wear from repeated use, giving the blade a functional, professional appearance that continues to perform over time.

The XM-18 3.25 features Hinderer’s Tri-Way pivot system, which allows users to adjust the blade action to their preference for smooth, consistent deployment and long-term reliability. With a blade thickness of 0.165 inches and matching lockside thickness, the knife feels solid and stable in hand without being bulky. Deployment is deliberate and controlled, reinforcing the knife’s focus on performance rather than show.

The handle is crafted from translucent green G-10 paired with a working finish lockside, combining durability with grip and a visually striking appearance. At 4.5 inches closed, the handle provides a secure, ergonomic hold suitable for a variety of hand sizes. The overall handle thickness of 0.540 inches, reinforced with 0.050-inch liners, ensures strength and stability without unnecessary weight. Weighing 4.8 ounces, the XM-18 3.25 carries comfortably while maintaining a satisfying heft that emphasizes control and confidence during use.

Every aspect of this knife reflects Hinderer’s commitment to performance, versatility, and longevity. From the premium S45VN steel to the durable translucent G-10 scales and precision construction, the XM-18 3.25 is designed to perform consistently across a wide range of cutting tasks. Whether used as an everyday carry tool, a dependable outdoor knife, or a collector’s piece, it offers a compact, high-performance package with thoughtful design and proven materials.
