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 G10 handle and matching Working Finish titanium lockside. Combined with a Working Finish MagnaCut blade, this XM-18 delivers a durable, refined package with 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. Its spearpoint profile provides a strong, versatile tip while maintaining plenty of useful cutting edge for daily chores. The 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 durable blue G10 scales paired with a Working Finish titanium lockside. The blue G10 adds a distinctive burst of color while providing a secure, textured grip in hand. The Working Finish titanium lockside complements the blade with a cohesive, work-ready appearance 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, this XM-18 feels substantial and secure without becoming unnecessarily bulky. At 8.25 inches overall and weighing 5.6 ounces, it strikes a practical balance between robust construction and everyday carryability.
Hinderer’s Tri-Way pivot system adds another level 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 user-focused feature that complements the XM-18’s proven design.
Whether you’re carrying it as part of your daily gear, using it for routine cutting chores, or displaying it in a premium collection, this XM-18 is built to make an impression. The combination of blue G10, Working Finish titanium, and MagnaCut steel gives it a distinctive look without sacrificing its rugged character.
With its substantial construction, premium materials, and adjustable pivot system, the Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint Tri-Way delivers the practical versatility and unmistakable Rick Hinderer design that serious knife users appreciate.
