Hinderer 3.5 XM-18 Non Flipper Spanto Battle Blue/Translucent Green G-10

The Hinderer XM-18 3.5 is the definition of reliability and craftsmanship, built for those who demand the best from their gear. Designed by master knifemaker Rick Hinderer, this knife is a testament to American ingenuity and rugged performance. At its core is a 3.5-inch Spanto blade crafted from premium S45VN stainless steel, a material prized for its balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The stonewash finish not only enhances the blade’s durability but gives it a sleek, no-nonsense look. The unique Spanto profile combines the slicing power of a drop point with the strength of a tanto, making it a versatile tool for a variety of cutting tasks.

The XM-18 3.5 features Hinderer’s legendary Tri-Way pivot system, allowing users to switch between ball bearings, phosphor bronze washers, and Teflon washers for customized action. The flipper mechanism ensures smooth, reliable deployment, while the framelock design provides solid lock-up during hard use.

The build quality of this knife is second to none. The front handle is made from translucent green G-10, offering a secure, lightweight grip with a subtle, unique aesthetic. The rear handle, constructed from titanium, features a striking Battle Blue finish, blending toughness with a bold, refined appearance. The stainless steel pocket clip is reversible for tip-up or tip-down carry, ensuring adaptability to your preferred style, while the lanyard hole adds extra versatility.

Measuring 4 inches closed and weighing just 3.7 ounces, the XM-18 3.5 is compact enough for everyday carry yet robust enough for heavy-duty tasks. Proudly made in the USA, this knife showcases Rick Hinderer’s dedication to quality and innovation, making it a trusted companion for adventurers, professionals, and collectors alike.
