The 4.75-inch handle features durable Coyote G10 scales paired with a Working Finish titanium lockside. The earthy Coyote color gives the knife a classic field-inspired appearance, while the textured G10 provides a secure grip in hand. The Working Finish titanium lockside complements the blade with a cohesive, rugged look and contributes to the XM-18’s solid construction.
