The Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint Tri-Way Folder delivers the rugged performance and unmistakable styling of Rick Hinderer’s renowned design in a bold red G10 configuration. With a Battle Black titanium lockside and Working Finish MagnaCut blade, this premium folder combines dependable materials with a distinctive appearance that’s ready for serious everyday carry.
The 3.50-inch spearpoint blade is crafted from MagnaCut stainless steel, offering an excellent balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Its spearpoint profile provides a strong, versatile tip while retaining plenty of useful cutting edge for everyday chores. The Working Finish gives the blade a rugged, utilitarian appearance that complements the knife’s hard-working character while helping conceal the marks that can come with regular use.
The 4.75-inch handle features durable red G10 paired with a Battle Black titanium lockside. The red G10 adds a bold burst of color while providing a secure, textured grip in hand. Its vibrant finish also gives this XM-18 a distinctive appearance that stands out in a collection or gear bag. The Battle Black titanium lockside provides a dark contrast against the red handle and contributes to the folder’s solid, substantial construction.
Measuring 0.165 inches thick, the blade and lockside provide a robust foundation for demanding cutting tasks, while the 0.050-inch liner adds further structural support. The overall handle thickness measures 0.540 inches, giving the XM-18 a confident feel in hand without making it unnecessarily bulky. At 8.25 inches overall and weighing 5.6 ounces, it offers a practical balance of size, strength, and carryability.
The XM-18’s Tri-Way pivot system gives you additional control over the knife’s action. Multiple bearing configurations let you tune the pivot to your preferred setup, adding versatility to an already well-engineered folding knife. It’s a user-focused feature that makes the XM-18 adaptable to different preferences for action and maintenance.
Whether it’s handling everyday cutting chores, riding along in your gear, or standing proudly in your collection, the Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint Tri-Way has the materials and construction to earn its place. The combination of red G10, Battle Black titanium, and a Working Finish MagnaCut blade gives this Rick Hinderer design a rugged character with plenty of visual impact.
