Hinderer XM-18 Coyote - Stonewash 3.5in Plain Stonewash Skinny Harpoon Spanto KXM35SKHSTWSWCY

The Hinderer XM-18 Coyote & Stonewash is a knife built with purpose, combining rugged durability with a streamlined design that makes it a standout choice for anyone who values reliability and American craftsmanship. Proudly made in the USA, this knife exemplifies Hinderer’s legacy of creating tools that aren’t just functional, but also engineered to perform at the highest level in real-world conditions. With premium materials, versatile features, and a timeless look, it’s the kind of everyday carry folding knife that you’ll reach for day after day.

At the core of the XM-18 Coyote & Stonewash is its 3.5-inch CPM MagnaCut stainless steel skinny harpoon spanto blade. MagnaCut has quickly become one of the most respected steels in the knife community, offering exceptional edge retention, superior toughness, and impressive corrosion resistance. This steel is designed to thrive in demanding conditions without compromise. The harpoon spanto blade shape combines the slicing power of a spanto with the reinforced strength of a harpoon-style tip, making it equally effective at detailed cuts, slicing, and piercing. With a blade thickness of .14 inches, this “skinny” profile trims weight while maintaining strength, offering a balance of toughness and agility. The stonewash finish gives the blade a rugged, functional look while helping disguise scratches and wear from daily use.

The handle construction is just as refined and reliable as the blade. The front scale is crafted from Coyote G-10, offering lightweight toughness and a textured grip that feels secure in any situation. Paired with the stonewash stainless steel rear handle, the knife strikes a balance between utility and visual appeal. The combination of materials ensures a sturdy build without sacrificing comfort, and the ergonomic design makes the knife easy to hold during extended use. Measuring 4.75 inches closed, the XM-18 carries discreetly in the pocket, yet opens to a full 8.25 inches overall length, giving you a tool that feels substantial and capable in the hand.

The deployment system is one of the hallmarks of the XM-18 line. Featuring Hinderer’s Tri-Way pivot system, the knife allows you to tailor the action to your liking. Whether you prefer the ultra-smooth flip of ball bearings, the steady dependability of phosphor bronze washers, or the traditional feel of Teflon, this pivot system has you covered. Deployment can be accomplished with the blade flipper for fast, decisive action, or with the ambidextrous thumb studs for controlled, deliberate opening. Once engaged, the framelock secures the blade in place with rock-solid reliability. Weighing just 4.7 ounces, this version of the XM-18 is lighter than many others in the lineup, making it exceptionally easy to carry while still offering the performance and strength Hinderer is known for.

Practical touches round out the package, including a tip-down pocket clip for secure carry and a lanyard hole for added versatility and customization. Every aspect of the knife reflects Hinderer’s dedication to detail, from the premium materials to the ergonomic lines that make it a pleasure to use.
