The Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint Tri-Way Folder combines Rick Hinderer’s rugged design with a distinctive translucent green G10 handle and Battle Black titanium lockside. Finished with a Working Finish MagnaCut blade, this premium folder delivers a bold appearance backed by high-performance materials and a construction made for dependable everyday use.
The 3.50-inch spearpoint blade is crafted from MagnaCut stainless steel, offering an excellent balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The spearpoint profile provides a strong, versatile point while maintaining plenty of useful cutting edge for everyday chores. Its Working Finish gives the blade a rugged, utilitarian appearance and helps conceal the marks that naturally develop through regular use.
The 4.75-inch handle pairs translucent green G10 with a Battle Black titanium lockside. The translucent green G10 gives this XM-18 a distinctive appearance while providing a secure, textured grip. Its unique coloring lets the handle stand out without taking away from the knife’s rugged character. The Battle Black titanium lockside creates a dark contrast against the green G10 while adding to the folder’s substantial construction.
The blade and lockside both measure 0.165 inches thick, while the liner measures 0.050 inches thick. With an overall handle thickness of 0.540 inches, the XM-18 feels solid and confident in hand without becoming unnecessarily bulky. At 8.25 inches overall and weighing 5.6 ounces, it balances a robust build with a practical size for everyday carry.
Hinderer’s Tri-Way pivot system adds another layer of versatility to the XM-18. Multiple bearing configurations allow you to adjust the knife’s action to your preferred setup, giving you greater control over the feel and operation of the pivot. It’s a practical, user-focused feature that complements the XM-18’s rugged construction.
Whether you’re putting it to work on everyday cutting tasks, carrying it as part of your regular gear, or adding it to a premium collection, the XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint Tri-Way is ready to perform. The combination of translucent green G10, Battle Black titanium, and a Working Finish MagnaCut blade gives this Rick Hinderer design a distinctive look while keeping its focus firmly on function.
