Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Automatic Knife Stonewash Spear Point/Textured Stonewash Titanium KAXM35SPEAUTOSW

The Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Automatic is built for users who want fast deployment, rugged strength, and the proven performance of Rick Hinderer’s iconic design. Proudly made in the USA, this out-the-side automatic takes the trusted XM-18 platform and adds push-button activation for immediate, authoritative blade deployment. It’s a hard-use tool designed to deliver reliability when speed and control matter most.

Its 3.5" CPM 20CV stainless steel spear point blade comes in a stonewash finish that enhances durability while helping mask wear from heavy use. The spear point profile brings a strong balance of piercing ability and controlled slicing performance, making it versatile enough for both everyday tasks and more demanding cutting work. The automatic push-button mechanism fires the blade open quickly and locks it solidly in place, giving you dependable function with every press.

The textured stonewash titanium handles provide outstanding strength with a refined, worn-in look that matches the blade’s rugged character. The added texturing improves grip security, ensuring confident handling even in wet or high-stress conditions. Titanium construction keeps the knife lightweight without sacrificing toughness, while maintaining the XM-18’s reputation for long-term durability and real-world dependability. A titanium pocket clip offers secure carry and fast access whenever needed.

At 4.75" closed and weighing 5.6 ounces, this automatic folder carries comfortably while still offering the strength and authority expected from a high-end Hinderer build. Every element reflects Rick Hinderer’s focus on functional design, precision engineering, and battlefield-tested reliability.
