The Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint Tri-Way Folder brings a rugged, field-ready look to Rick Hinderer’s proven folding knife platform. This version combines an OD green G-10 handle with a stonewashed DLC titanium frame and stonewashed MagnaCut blade, creating a practical combination of color, materials, and finishes for everyday carry.
The 3.50-inch spearpoint blade is made from MagnaCut, a premium stainless steel known for its excellent balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Its spearpoint profile provides a strong, versatile cutting edge that’s well suited to everyday cutting chores, utility work, and outdoor tasks. The stonewashed finish gives the blade a rugged appearance while helping conceal the scratches and wear that naturally come with regular use.
A 4.75-inch OD green G-10 handle gives the XM-18 a classic outdoor-inspired appearance while providing a durable and secure grip. G-10 is lightweight, rigid, and resistant to moisture, making it well suited to regular carry and outdoor use. With an overall handle thickness of 0.540 inches, the XM-18 offers a substantial feel in hand while maintaining a practical profile.
The titanium lockside features a stonewashed DLC finish, adding a dark, understated contrast to the OD green G-10. The 0.165-inch lockside and 0.050-inch liner contribute to the knife’s solid construction, while the combination of titanium and G-10 gives the folder a premium feel and rugged character.
Hinderer’s Tri-Way Pivot System adds versatility by allowing the pivot to be configured with different bearing options. This gives you the ability to tune the knife’s action to your preferred feel while retaining the XM-18’s dependable engineering and substantial construction.
At 8.25 inches overall and weighing 5.6 ounces, the XM-18 3.5 offers a substantial cutting tool in a practical size for everyday carry. The OD green handle blends naturally with outdoor gear, while the stonewashed MagnaCut blade and stonewashed DLC titanium frame give the knife a cohesive, rugged appearance.
Whether you’re carrying it in your everyday rotation, adding it to an outdoor gear setup, or expanding a premium collection, this XM-18 3.5 delivers the materials, adjustability, and distinctive character expected from a Rick Hinderer design.
