The Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint Tri-Way Folder brings Rick Hinderer’s rugged design philosophy to a premium folding knife with a bold orange G-10 handle, Working Finish titanium frame, and stonewashed MagnaCut blade. It’s a distinctive combination of color, materials, and proven construction that’s ready for everyday carry or hard-working gear duty.
The 3.50-inch spearpoint blade is crafted from MagnaCut, a premium stainless steel known for its excellent balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The spearpoint profile offers a versatile cutting edge with a strong, purposeful shape suited to everyday cutting chores and outdoor tasks. Its stonewashed finish gives the blade a subdued, rugged appearance while helping hide the marks that naturally come from regular use.
The 4.75-inch orange G-10 handle adds a bright, high-visibility touch to the XM-18 while maintaining the durability expected from a serious working folder. G-10 is lightweight, rigid, and resistant to moisture, making it a practical handle material for demanding carry. At 0.540 inches thick overall, the handle provides a substantial feel and a secure grip without making the knife unnecessarily cumbersome.
The titanium lockside features Hinderer’s Working Finish, complementing the orange G-10 with a rugged, utilitarian appearance. 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 XM-18 a premium feel in hand.
The XM-18 3.5 also features Hinderer’s Tri-Way Pivot System, giving you the flexibility to configure the pivot with different bearing options. This lets you tune the knife’s action to your preferred feel while retaining the refined engineering and versatility associated with the XM-18 platform.
Measuring 8.25 inches overall and weighing 5.6 ounces, this folder delivers a substantial cutting tool in a practical size for everyday carry. The bold orange handle makes it easy to spot among your gear, while the stonewashed blade and Working Finish titanium frame provide a rugged visual balance.
Whether you’re adding a dependable folder to your EDC rotation, packing it with your outdoor gear, or expanding a premium knife collection, the Hinderer XM-18 3.5 delivers the materials, versatility, and unmistakable character of a Rick Hinderer design.
