The Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint Tri-Way Folder brings Rick Hinderer’s rugged design philosophy to a refined everyday carry with a black G10 handle and Working Finish titanium lockside. Paired with a Working Finish MagnaCut blade, this XM-18 has a tough, understated appearance and the premium construction you’d expect from a Hinderer folder.
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 disguise the marks that naturally develop through regular use.
The 4.75-inch handle features durable black G10 scales paired with a Working Finish titanium lockside. The black G10 provides a secure, textured grip and gives the knife a clean, understated appearance. The Working Finish titanium lockside complements the blade with a consistent rugged look while contributing to the XM-18’s solid 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 has a substantial feel in hand without becoming unnecessarily bulky. At 8.25 inches overall and weighing 5.6 ounces, it balances a robust construction with a practical size for everyday carry.
Hinderer’s Tri-Way pivot system gives this XM-18 added versatility, allowing you to choose between multiple bearing configurations and adjust the knife’s action to your preferred setup. It’s a practical feature that lets you tailor the feel of the pivot while complementing the folder’s dependable construction.
Whether you’re carrying it as part of your daily gear, putting it to work on routine cutting tasks, or adding it to a premium collection, the XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint Tri-Way is built to be a capable companion. Its black G10 handle, Working Finish titanium lockside, and MagnaCut blade create a cohesive, rugged package with a distinctly utilitarian character.
With its substantial build, premium materials, and adjustable pivot system, this XM-18 delivers the practical versatility and recognizable Rick Hinderer design that serious knife users appreciate.
