The Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint Tri-Way Folder delivers the rugged, purpose-driven character Rick Hinderer is known for, now paired with a bold red G-10 handle, Working Finish titanium frame, and stonewashed MagnaCut blade. This combination gives the XM-18 a distinctive look without sacrificing the practical construction that makes it such a versatile premium folder.
The 3.50-inch spearpoint blade is crafted from MagnaCut, a high-performance stainless steel prized for its balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Its spearpoint profile offers a strong, versatile cutting edge for everyday chores, utility work, and outdoor tasks. The stonewashed finish gives the blade a subdued, rugged appearance while helping conceal the scratches and wear that naturally develop through regular use.
A 4.75-inch red G-10 handle provides a secure grip and adds a bold visual contrast to the darker titanium frame. G-10 is lightweight, rigid, and durable, making it an excellent choice for a folder intended for regular carry. At 0.540 inches thick overall, the handle has a substantial feel in the hand while maintaining a practical profile for everyday use.
The titanium lockside features Hinderer’s Working Finish, creating a rugged, understated appearance that pairs naturally with the stonewashed blade. The 0.165-inch lockside and 0.050-inch liner contribute to the XM-18’s solid construction, while the combination of titanium and G-10 gives the knife a premium feel and dependable presence.
Hinderer’s Tri-Way Pivot System adds another level of versatility to this XM-18. The system allows you to configure the pivot with different bearing options, giving you the ability to tune the knife’s action to your preferred feel. It’s a thoughtful feature that complements the XM-18’s robust construction and practical design.
With an overall length of 8.25 inches and a weight of 5.6 ounces, the XM-18 3.5 offers substantial performance without becoming unnecessarily cumbersome. The red G-10 handle also makes the knife easy to identify among your gear, while the Working Finish titanium frame and stonewashed blade maintain its rugged aesthetic.
Whether it’s carried as an everyday folder, added to an outdoor kit, or displayed as part of a premium collection, this XM-18 3.5 delivers the distinctive materials, versatile pivot system, and rugged character expected from a Rick Hinderer design.
