Hinderer XM-18 3.5in Magnacut Recurve Non Flipper Tri-Way Folder SW Frame OD Green Handle KXM35NFRECSWOD

This XM-18 features a 3.5-inch CPM MagnaCut recurve blade with a durable stonewash finish. MagnaCut is one of the most advanced knife steels available, offering an outstanding balance of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. This high-performance steel allows the blade to handle everything from daily utility tasks to more demanding cutting jobs with confidence. The recurve blade profile, a longtime favorite of Rick Hinderer, features a continuous sweeping cutting edge that naturally pulls material into the blade, creating powerful slicing performance and improved cutting efficiency. The non-flipper design provides a sleek, streamlined profile while maintaining excellent ergonomics and control.

The handle is built with a rugged OD green G-10 show-side scale combined with a stonewash 6AL4V titanium lockside, frame, and hardware. The textured G-10 offers a secure, dependable grip in a variety of conditions, whether you're working outdoors, wearing gloves, or handling everyday cutting tasks. The OD green color provides a classic tactical and field-ready appearance, while the stonewash titanium frame delivers the durability and refined finish that Hinderer knives are known for. The titanium frame lock ensures a strong, reliable lockup designed to withstand years of hard use.

With an overall length of 8.25 inches and a handle length of 4.75 inches, the XM-18 provides an excellent balance of full-size capability and comfortable everyday carry. The 0.165-inch-thick blade offers impressive strength for demanding applications, while the 5.6-ounce weight gives the knife a solid, reassuring feel without making it overly heavy in the pocket.

Equipped with Hinderer's innovative Tri-Way Pivot System, this XM-18 allows users to customize the knife's action with ball bearings, phosphor bronze washers, or Teflon washers. This versatile system gives you the ability to tune the deployment to your personal preference, whether you want an exceptionally smooth action or maximum reliability in harsh environments.

Every part of the XM-18 reflects Rick Hinderer's dedication to rugged design, premium materials, and American manufacturing excellence. From its MagnaCut blade to its titanium frame and customizable pivot system, this folder is built to be carried often, used hard, and trusted when it matters most.
