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 bold orange G10 handle. Paired with a Working Finish MagnaCut blade and Working Finish titanium lockside, this XM-18 combines a striking colorway with a tough, utilitarian build that’s ready for 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 appearance and helps conceal the marks that naturally develop through regular use, making it well suited to a knife that’s meant to be carried and used.
The 4.75-inch handle features durable orange G10 scales paired with a Working Finish titanium lockside. The vibrant orange G10 provides a secure, textured grip while giving this XM-18 a distinctive look that stands out in your gear or collection. The Working Finish titanium lockside complements the blade with a cohesive, work-ready appearance while contributing to the folder’s substantial 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 feels solid and confident in hand without becoming unnecessarily bulky. At 8.25 inches overall and weighing 5.6 ounces, it offers a practical balance between substantial construction and everyday carryability.
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 folder’s rugged construction and user-focused design.
Whether you’re carrying it as part of your everyday rotation, putting it to work on routine cutting chores, or adding it to a premium collection, this XM-18 is ready to earn its place. The orange G10 handle adds plenty of visual impact, while the Working Finish blade and titanium lockside maintain the rugged character that defines the XM-18 platform.
With premium MagnaCut steel, durable G10, a substantial build, and an adjustable Tri-Way pivot system, this Rick Hinderer-designed folder delivers practical versatility and distinctive style in a premium package.
