The Hinderer XM-18 3.5 brings hard-use performance and American custom knife craftsmanship to a proven folding design. Designed by master knifemaker Rick Hinderer, this XM-18 combines a rugged blade profile, premium materials, and a distinctive black-and-blue color combination that gives it serious capability and unmistakable character.
The 3.5-inch harpoon Spanto blade is crafted from S45VN stainless steel and finished in a rugged stonewash. Its hybrid profile combines the strength of a reinforced point with a capable cutting edge, making it well suited for demanding everyday cutting and utility work. A blade flipper provides quick, intuitive deployment, while the sturdy frame lock delivers secure blade retention during use.
The handle brings together contrasting materials for a distinctive look and solid performance. Patterned blue and black G-10 forms the front scale, providing a secure grip and adding visual depth to the design. Stonewash bronze titanium makes up the rear handle, creating a rugged metallic foundation that complements the blade finish. A matching stonewash bronze titanium pocket clip completes the package and provides convenient pocket carry.
At 4.75 inches closed, the XM-18 3.5 maintains a substantial yet manageable profile for everyday carry. Its 5.6-ounce weight gives it a reassuring heft without overwhelming your pocket, while the overall construction reflects Hinderer’s focus on durability and practical performance.
Proudly made in the USA, the XM-18 3.5 is built for users who expect their gear to work as hard as they do. It’s a serious folding knife with the materials, construction, and design pedigree to back it up.
