Hinderer XM-18 3.5in Magnacut Recurve Non Flipper Tri-Way Folder Working Fish SW Blade Orange G-10 Handle KXM35NFRECWFSWOR

This XM-18 features a 3.5-inch CPM MagnaCut recurve blade with a durable stonewash finish. MagnaCut is one of the most advanced blade steels available today, offering an impressive combination of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. Whether you're working around the shop, exploring the outdoors, or handling daily cutting chores, this blade delivers dependable performance when you need it most. The recurve blade design, a longtime favorite of Rick Hinderer, features a continuous sweeping cutting edge that naturally pulls material into the blade, increasing slicing power and providing excellent cutting efficiency. The non-flipper configuration gives the knife a clean, streamlined profile while allowing for a comfortable and controlled grip.

The handle features a vibrant orange G-10 show-side scale paired with a rugged working finish 6AL4V titanium lockside, frame, and hardware. The textured G-10 provides a secure grip in a variety of environments, while the bright orange color offers excellent visibility in outdoor settings, tool bags, or busy work areas. The working finish titanium frame is designed for real-world use, helping conceal scratches and wear that naturally occur over time while maintaining the strength and durability Hinderer knives are known for. The titanium frame lock provides a solid, dependable lockup for confidence during heavy cutting tasks.

Measuring 8.25 inches overall with a 4.75-inch handle, the XM-18 delivers full-size capability in a comfortable everyday carry package. The robust 0.165-inch blade thickness provides outstanding strength and durability, while the balanced 5.6-ounce weight gives the knife a reassuring feel in hand without being overly bulky.

Featuring 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 lets you fine-tune the deployment to match your preferred style, whether you want a smooth, fast action or a setup optimized for rugged environments.

Every component of this XM-18 showcases Rick Hinderer's dedication to functional design, premium materials, and precision manufacturing. From its high-performance MagnaCut blade to its durable titanium frame and customizable pivot system, this folder is built to be carried, used, and trusted for years.
