The Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Spearpoint Tri-Way Folder brings Rick Hinderer’s rugged, purpose-driven design to a premium folding knife with an OD green G10 handle. Paired with a Working Finish MagnaCut blade and Working Finish titanium lockside, this XM-18 combines a classic field-inspired colorway with substantial construction and practical versatility.
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 point while maintaining plenty of useful cutting edge for everyday 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 OD green G10 scales paired with a Working Finish titanium lockside. The OD green G10 gives this XM-18 a classic outdoor-inspired appearance while providing a secure, textured grip. The Working Finish titanium lockside complements the blade with a cohesive, work-ready look and contributes 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 has 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 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 practical, user-focused feature that complements the folder’s rugged construction and dependable design.
Whether it’s riding in your everyday rotation, accompanying you in the field, or taking its place in a premium knife collection, this XM-18 is built to stand out through function and construction. The OD green G10 handle gives it a distinctly field-ready appearance, while the Working Finish blade and titanium lockside keep the overall look rugged and refined.
With premium MagnaCut steel, durable G10, a substantial build, and an adjustable Tri-Way pivot system, this Rick Hinderer-designed folder delivers the practical versatility and unmistakable character you’d expect from the XM-18 platform.
