Hinderer XM-18 Skinny Slicer Coyote 3.5in Plain Working Finish Drop Point KXM35SKSLTWWFCY

The Hinderer XM-18 Skinny Slicer Working Finish Coyote G-10 is where everyday performance meets purpose-driven design. Built for users who expect nothing less than rock-solid reliability in their gear, this American-made folding knife combines rugged materials, smooth mechanics, and a bold, tactical look in a slimmed-down profile that’s ready to tackle any task. Whether you’re in the field, on the job, or simply living life at full speed, this knife has your back.

At the core of this high-performance folder is a 3.5” CPM MagnaCut stainless steel drop point blade. MagnaCut continues to set the bar for blade steels, delivering an ideal blend of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Its plain edge makes for a versatile cutting tool that’s right at home slicing rope, opening boxes, prepping campfire meals, or handling precise cuts in the workshop. The drop point shape is time-tested for utility, and the .14” thickness strikes a great balance between durability and slicing capability. Hinderer’s signature Working Finish adds a rugged, low-maintenance look that hides wear and stands up to real-world use.

Opening the blade is a breeze, whether you prefer the swift action of a flipper or the controlled deployment of ambidextrous thumb studs. Both options are at your fingertips, offering flexibility based on how you work and what the situation calls for. At the heart of the action is Hinderer’s revolutionary Tri-Way pivot system, which lets you switch between Teflon, phosphor bronze, and ball bearing washers with ease. Want smooth and fast? Go with bearings. Prefer a more traditional feel or easy field maintenance? Swap in the washers that suit your style. The Tri-Way gives you control over your knife’s feel like few others can.

The framelock mechanism delivers the secure, no-play lockup Hinderer is known for. It’s reinforced by the patented Lockbar Stabilizer to prevent overtravel and maintain consistent lockup performance over time. This knife doesn’t just look dependable—it is.

The handle brings together a Coyote G-10 front scale and a stainless steel rear frame, both shaped for excellent ergonomics and control. The Coyote colorway adds a warm, earthy tone that stands out in a subtle, tactical way. It’s grippy without being harsh, comfortable without sacrificing security. At 4.75” closed and 8.25” overall, the XM-18 Skinny Slicer gives you a full-size tool in a carry-friendly footprint. The tip-down pocket clip keeps it secure in your pocket, and the lanyard hole gives you the option to customize your carry setup even further.

Proudly made in the USA, this manual folder is crafted with precision and passion, ready to meet the needs of users who demand more from their tools. It’s built to perform, made to last, and designed to be carried with pride.
