The Hinderer XM-18 3.5" Skinny Sheepsfoot Framelock in Battle Bronze and OD Green is a purpose-built hard-use folder designed for serious everyday carry and demanding real-world performance. Built around Rick Hinderer’s legendary XM-18 platform, this knife combines premium materials, rugged construction, and refined cutting performance into one dependable package. From tough work environments to daily utility carry, the XM-18 has earned its reputation as one of the most respected framelock folders in the industry, trusted by professionals and enthusiasts who expect their gear to perform without compromise.
The 3.5" CPM 20CV stainless steel blade features the highly capable sheepsfoot profile paired with Hinderer’s rugged working finish. CPM 20CV is known for delivering outstanding edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, making it an ideal steel for heavy everyday use. The sheepsfoot blade design offers excellent cutting control thanks to its straight edge and lowered tip geometry, making it especially effective for utility slicing, detailed work, and controlled push cuts. It’s a blade shape built for precision and efficiency while still maintaining the toughness expected from a hard-use folder.
The working finish gives the blade a rugged, field-ready appearance that’s designed to hide wear, scuffs, and marks from daily use. Instead of looking worn over time, the finish develops character while continuing to perform under pressure. Fast deployment comes from the integrated blade flipper, delivering smooth, reliable one-handed opening backed by Hinderer’s renowned pivot system and solid framelock design.
The handle pairs an OD green front scale with a Battle Bronze titanium framelock side, creating a bold, tactical appearance with excellent durability and grip security. The textured front scale offers dependable traction in wet or demanding conditions, while the titanium lock side provides the structural strength and lockup confidence the XM-18 series is known for. The bronze finish adds a rugged custom-style appearance that stands out without sacrificing functionality.
Built for dependable carry, the knife includes a tip-down pocket clip that keeps the XM-18 secure and ready for quick access throughout the day. At 4.75" closed and 8.25" overall, it offers a substantial in-hand feel while remaining practical for everyday carry and extended use.
From the premium CPM 20CV blade steel to the overbuilt titanium framelock construction, every part of the XM-18 3.5" Skinny Sheepsfoot is designed with hard-use reliability in mind. Proudly built for those who demand serious performance from their gear, this knife delivers the toughness, precision, and craftsmanship Hinderer knives are known for worldwide.
