The Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint Tri-Way Folder combines Rick Hinderer’s rugged design with a distinctive translucent green G-10 handle, stonewashed DLC titanium frame, and stonewashed MagnaCut blade. This premium folder brings together durable materials and practical engineering with a unique color combination that stands out while retaining the XM-18’s unmistakable working-knife character.
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 provides a strong, versatile cutting edge for everyday utility, outdoor chores, and general cutting tasks. Its stonewashed finish gives the blade a subdued, rugged appearance while helping conceal the scratches and wear that naturally come with regular use.
The 4.75-inch translucent green G-10 handle adds visual depth and character to the XM-18 while providing a durable, secure grip. G-10 is lightweight, rigid, and resistant to moisture, making it well suited to regular everyday carry and outdoor use. The translucent finish gives the handle a distinctive appearance, while the 0.540-inch overall handle thickness provides a substantial feel in hand without making the knife unnecessarily bulky.
The titanium lockside features a stonewashed DLC finish, creating a dark, understated contrast against the translucent green G-10. 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 folder a premium feel and rugged presence.
Hinderer’s Tri-Way Pivot System adds versatility to this XM-18 by allowing the pivot to be configured with different bearing options. This gives you the flexibility to tune the knife’s action to your preferred feel, complementing the XM-18’s robust construction and thoughtful design.
Measuring 8.25 inches overall and weighing 5.6 ounces, the XM-18 3.5 offers substantial performance in a practical everyday-carry size. The translucent green handle gives the knife a distinctive visual edge, while the stonewashed MagnaCut blade and stonewashed DLC titanium frame create a cohesive, rugged appearance.
Whether it’s carried as part of your everyday rotation, packed with outdoor gear, or added to a premium collection, this XM-18 3.5 delivers the premium materials, versatile pivot system, and unmistakable character associated with Rick Hinderer’s designs.
