The Hinderer XM-18 Coyote & Stonewash Bronze with Stonewash Harpoon Spanto is a perfect blend of tactical performance, rugged aesthetics, and world-class craftsmanship. Designed by Rick Hinderer, this 3.5-inch XM-18 embodies everything that’s made the Hinderer name legendary among knife enthusiasts. It’s built for real-world reliability, refined with precision engineering, and finished with a distinctive look that sets it apart from the crowd. Every detail speaks of strength, balance, and uncompromising quality.
The 3.5-inch Harpoon Spanto blade is a defining feature of this model. It combines the robust tip and piercing power of a tactical blade with the slicing efficiency of a high-performance cutting edge. The harpoon-style spine not only strengthens the blade but also gives it a commanding profile that’s unmistakably Hinderer. Finished in a rugged stonewash, the blade resists wear and hides scratches beautifully, maintaining its clean, work-ready look through years of hard use. At 0.16 inches thick, it has the durability and stiffness to take on demanding cutting tasks without compromise.
The handle design continues the XM-18’s reputation for ergonomic excellence. The front scale features Coyote G-10—a color and texture that project pure functionality and dependability. The G-10 material provides an excellent grip, even in challenging conditions, while its earthy tone adds a tactical and understated elegance. On the opposite side, the bronze stonewash stainless steel lockside offers strength, durability, and a warm metallic contrast that pairs perfectly with the Coyote G-10. Every curve and contour of the 4.75-inch handle has been shaped for comfort and control, making the knife feel secure and balanced in hand.
Inside, the XM-18’s renowned Tri-Way Pivot system gives you total control over how your knife performs. Whether you prefer the buttery-smooth action of bearings, the reliability of phosphor bronze washers, or the consistent feel of Teflon, the Tri-Way system lets you customize the deployment exactly to your liking. The flipper tab offers quick and reliable opening, while the lockup remains solid and confidence-inspiring. This system represents the best of Hinderer’s mechanical innovation—flexible, dependable, and built for real use.
At 5.6 ounces, the XM-18 Coyote & Stonewash Bronze strikes a perfect balance between strength and carry comfort. The construction is rock-solid, with precise machining and flawless fit and finish that reflect Hinderer’s uncompromising attention to detail. The bronze accents, stonewashed steel, and Coyote G-10 combine to create a look that’s both refined and ready for the field. This isn’t just a tool—it’s a piece of craftsmanship that feels as good in the hand as it looks in the collection.
