The Hinderer XM-18 OD Green & Stonewash Blue with Stonewash Harpoon Spanto is a bold expression of precision craftsmanship, performance, and rugged elegance. Designed by Rick Hinderer and crafted with the exacting standards that have made his knives legendary, this 3.5-inch XM-18 strikes the perfect balance between strength and sophistication. Every element, from its ergonomic grip to its finely tuned mechanics, has been engineered for reliability in the field and refinement in the hand.
At the center of this masterpiece is the 3.5-inch Harpoon Spanto blade, a design that captures the spirit of versatility and toughness. The Harpoon Spanto combines the reinforced spine of a harpoon-style blade with the broad, razor-sharp edge of the Spanto profile. This pairing gives it incredible piercing power and control while maintaining excellent slicing performance. The stonewash finish not only enhances the blade’s rugged aesthetic but also conceals scratches and wear, allowing it to maintain its clean, battle-ready appearance even after years of use. Measuring 0.16 inches thick, the blade has the stiffness and strength to handle demanding cutting tasks with ease.
The handle is where the XM-18’s craftsmanship truly shines. The front scale features OD Green G-10—a timeless and tactical color choice that radiates dependability and purpose. It provides a textured, slip-resistant grip that feels secure in any condition. On the opposite side, the Blue Stonewash stainless steel lockside delivers a striking visual contrast. The cool blue tones blend beautifully with the natural green of the G-10, creating a look that’s both refined and distinctively rugged. At 4.75 inches, the handle offers the perfect balance of size and control, fitting comfortably in hand while maintaining the sturdy feel Hinderer knives are known for.
Inside, Hinderer’s famous Tri-Way Pivot system gives this XM-18 an edge in customization. It allows you to choose your preferred action setup—whether that’s ultra-smooth bearings for fast deployment, phosphor bronze washers for long-term durability, or Teflon washers for easy maintenance and reliability under tough conditions. This innovation lets users fine-tune their knife to their specific style, making the XM-18 as adaptable as it is dependable. The flipper tab provides quick, confident blade deployment, and the lockup is firm and precise, reflecting the top-tier engineering behind every Hinderer creation.
At 5.6 ounces, this XM-18 offers a satisfying, balanced weight that speaks to its premium materials and solid construction. Every line, screw, and contour has been perfectly machined for performance and beauty alike. The combination of OD Green G-10 and Blue Stonewash steel gives this knife a commanding yet elegant presence—ready for work, display, or anything in between. It’s a knife built to endure a lifetime of use while maintaining the refined feel that defines the Hinderer name.
