The Hinderer XM-18 3.5 brings hard-use performance and American craftsmanship to a proven folding knife design. Designed by master knifemaker Rick Hinderer, this rugged folder combines a stout blade profile, premium materials, and a striking blue-on-blue configuration that’s built to perform and made to stand out.
The 3.5-inch harpoon Spanto blade is crafted from S45VN stainless steel and features a rugged stonewash finish. The distinctive Spanto profile combines a strong, reinforced point with a capable cutting edge, giving the blade the durability and versatility expected from the XM-18 platform. A blade flipper provides quick, intuitive deployment, while the sturdy frame lock secures the blade firmly during use.
The handle pairs blue G-10 on the front with blue stonewash titanium on the rear. The textured G-10 provides a confident grip, while the stonewash titanium delivers strength, durability, and a rugged metallic finish. A matching blue stonewash titanium pocket clip completes the package and provides secure, convenient pocket carry.
At 4.75 inches closed and weighing 5.6 ounces, the XM-18 3.5 has a substantial feel without becoming excessively bulky. Its robust construction and premium materials make it well suited for everyday carry and demanding utility work.
Proudly made in the USA, this XM-18 reflects Rick Hinderer’s commitment to building knives that are meant to be used. From the distinctive blade profile to the carefully matched handle components, every element serves a purpose while giving this folder unmistakable Hinderer character.
