The Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint is a rugged, dependable folding knife designed by Rick Hinderer for users who expect their gear to perform when the work gets demanding. Built around the proven XM-18 platform, this folder combines premium MagnaCut steel, durable G10, a rugged Stonewash finish, and Hinderer’s versatile Tri-Way Pivot System for a dependable everyday cutting tool.
The 3.50-inch Spearpoint blade is crafted from premium MagnaCut steel, offering an excellent balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Its Spearpoint profile provides a strong, capable tip while maintaining a useful cutting edge for a wide range of everyday tasks. The Stonewash finish gives the blade a rugged appearance while helping conceal scratches and wear from regular use. At 0.165 inches thick, the blade has the substantial construction you’d expect from a serious Hinderer folder.
The 4.75-inch handle features OD green G10 scales, giving the knife a classic field-ready appearance along with a secure, durable grip. G10 is well suited to demanding environments thanks to its strength, stability, and resistance to moisture. The titanium Stonewash-finished lockside complements the OD green scales and adds to the XM-18’s rugged aesthetic. With an overall handle thickness of 0.540 inches, the knife provides a substantial feel in hand without becoming unnecessarily bulky.
Hinderer’s Tri-Way Pivot System gives the XM-18 added versatility. The pivot can be configured with bearings, phosphor bronze washers, or nylon washers, allowing you to tailor the knife’s action to your preferred feel and use. This adaptable system gives you more control over how the folder operates while making maintenance and customization straightforward.
At 8.25 inches overall and weighing 5.6 ounces, the XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint delivers a substantial amount of capability in a manageable folding design. It’s ready for opening packages, cutting cordage, working around camp, handling shop chores, or taking on the everyday cutting jobs that come your way.
Designed by Rick Hinderer, the XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint brings together premium materials, rugged construction, and proven functionality. With its MagnaCut blade, OD green G10 handle, and Stonewash finish, it’s a capable folder that’s ready to be carried and put to work.
