Hinderer XM-18 Skinny Slicer Blue G-10 3.5in Plain Stonewash Drop Point KXM35SKSLTWSWBL

The Hinderer XM-18 Skinny Slicer Stonewash Blue G-10 brings together the performance and reliability Hinderer fans trust with a bold, classic look that stands out without being flashy. Proudly made in the USA, this everyday carry folding knife is a masterpiece of American craftsmanship, built to handle hard work while feeling right at home in your pocket day after day.

At the core of the XM-18 Skinny Slicer is a 3.5” CPM MagnaCut stainless steel blade. Known for its exceptional balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention, MagnaCut sets a new standard for premium blade steels. The drop point profile offers incredible versatility, making it just as good at slicing tasks as it is at more detailed work. The stonewash finish adds a rugged, broken-in look while also helping to hide wear and scratches from daily use, keeping your blade looking ready for anything.

Opening the blade is fast, smooth, and effortless thanks to two convenient deployment options. You can flick it open using the flipper tab for quick one-handed access or take a more deliberate approach with the ambidextrous thumb studs. At the heart of that buttery-smooth action is Hinderer's famous Tri-Way Pivot System, allowing you to customize the feel of your knife. Whether you prefer the lightning-fast deployment of ball bearings, the gritty reliability of phosphor bronze washers, or the smooth, consistent action of Teflon, the XM-18 adapts to your needs.

The handle on this model brings timeless color and outstanding grip into perfect balance. The front scale features durable blue G-10, offering lightweight strength and a textured surface for a secure, comfortable hold. It’s matched with a stonewashed stainless steel rear handle, giving you the toughness of full steel construction with the well-worn look that hides daily wear. The combination of blue and stonewash offers a clean, professional aesthetic that feels just right for everything from the jobsite to weekend adventures.

The framelock mechanism ensures a rock-solid lockup every time you open the blade, giving you the confidence you need when pushing your knife to its limits. Measuring 4.75” closed and 8.25” overall with a blade thickness of .14”, the XM-18 Skinny Slicer hits that perfect sweet spot between easy carry and full-size capability. A tip-down pocket clip keeps it securely anchored in your pocket, while the lanyard hole gives you extra carry and personalization options.
