Hinderer XM-18 Skinny Slicer FDE 3.5in Plain Working Finish Drop Point KXM35SKSLTWBBZFDE

The Hinderer XM-18 Skinny Slicer Working Finish FDE & Battle Bronze brings together top-tier performance, rugged styling, and legendary American craftsmanship into a folding knife that's ready for anything. Built for real-world use, this model features a 3.5” CPM MagnaCut stainless steel drop point blade, offering incredible edge retention, outstanding corrosion resistance, and a fine balance of toughness and sharpness. The Working Finish on the blade isn’t just about looks—it’s built to handle hard use, disguising wear and giving the knife a broken-in, ready-for-action vibe from the first time you open it.

Blade deployment is fast, intuitive, and smooth, with the option of using either the blade flipper or the ambidextrous thumb studs. Powered by Hinderer's famous Tri-Way Pivot System, the XM-18 allows you to choose between smooth ball bearings, tough phosphor bronze washers, or low-friction Teflon washers, so you can tune the action exactly how you like it depending on your mission or environment. Whether you want fast flickability or the dependable feel of bronze, the XM-18 delivers without compromise.

The handle setup of this Skinny Slicer version is where the personality really shines. Up front, you get a Flat Dark Earth (FDE) G-10 scale that provides a firm, confident grip without being abrasive to your hands or pockets. The rear handle is crafted from stainless steel and finished in a striking Battle Bronze, adding a custom-shop feel and some serious attitude to your carry. Together, the FDE and Battle Bronze combination makes a bold statement without being flashy—perfect for those who appreciate subtle strength and timeless style.

Securing the blade is a rock-solid framelock, giving you the confidence to take on tough tasks without hesitation. At 4.75” closed and 8.25” overall, with a blade thickness of just .14”, the XM-18 Skinny Slicer is slim enough for comfortable everyday carry but built tough enough to tackle anything from heavy cutting chores to detailed slicing tasks. A tip-down pocket clip keeps it secure and accessible, while the lanyard hole offers another option for customization and quick retrieval.

Proudly made in the USA, the Hinderer XM-18 Skinny Slicer Working Finish FDE & Battle Bronze is a knife that doesn’t just meet expectations—it redefines them. Every detail is thoughtfully designed and meticulously executed, from the durable hardware to the balanced feel in hand. It's a tool built for those who demand reliability, performance, and an unmistakable American-made pedigree.
