The Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint Tri-Way Folder brings Rick Hinderer’s rugged, purpose-driven design to a premium folding knife with a distinctive blue and black G10 handle. Paired with a Working Finish MagnaCut blade and Working Finish titanium lockside, this XM-18 combines bold styling with a substantial build and the versatility to handle everyday cutting tasks.
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 tip while maintaining plenty of useful cutting edge for daily 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 features blue and black G10 scales paired with a Working Finish titanium lockside. The two-tone G10 adds visual depth and gives this XM-18 a distinctive appearance while providing a secure, textured grip. The Working Finish titanium lockside complements the blade with a cohesive, work-ready look while contributing to the folder’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 offers a substantial feel in hand without becoming unnecessarily bulky. At 8.25 inches overall and weighing 5.6 ounces, it balances robust construction 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 feature that complements the knife’s rugged construction and user-focused design.
Whether it’s riding in your everyday rotation, handling routine cutting chores, or taking its place in a premium knife collection, the XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint Tri-Way is built to stand out and perform. The blue and black G10 handle gives it plenty of personality, while the Working Finish blade and titanium lockside keep its overall appearance rugged and refined.
With premium MagnaCut steel, durable G10, substantial construction, and an adjustable Tri-Way pivot system, this Rick Hinderer design delivers the combination of versatility, durability, and distinctive styling you’d expect from the XM-18 platform.
