Hinderer XM-18 Skinny Slicer Red 3.5in Plain Working Finish Drop Point KXM35SKSLTWWFRD

The Hinderer XM-18 Skinny Slicer Working Finish Red G-10 blends bold styling with proven performance in one of the most trusted everyday carry folding knives on the market. Designed for serious users who appreciate American craftsmanship and hard-use reliability, this premium manual folder offers everything you’d expect from a Hinderer—plus a little extra attitude, thanks to its vibrant red G-10 scale.

The 3.5” drop point blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, a modern, high-performance alloy that’s earned its place at the top of the steel game. It delivers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, giving you a blade that’s not only razor-sharp but ready to work through whatever the day throws at it. The drop point design offers a versatile cutting edge with a robust tip, ideal for slicing, detail work, and general utility tasks. Finished in Hinderer’s rugged Working Finish, the blade wears its use well and is made to keep up with a fast-paced, hands-on lifestyle.

Opening the knife is fast and intuitive with the integrated blade flipper, made even better by Rick Hinderer’s innovative Tri-Way pivot system. This unique setup allows you to choose between Teflon, phosphor bronze, or ball bearing washers, depending on your preference for smoothness, maintenance, or speed. Whether you’re looking for the buttery glide of bearings or the dependable feel of bronze, the Tri-Way gives you the freedom to tune the action to your liking.

A titanium framelock ensures rock-solid lockup, backed by the patented Hinderer Lockbar Stabilizer to prevent overtravel and extend the life of the mechanism. This isn’t just security—it’s peace of mind every time you flip the blade open and hear that confident click. It’s the kind of engineering detail that separates high-end folders from the pack.

The red G-10 front scale adds a bold splash of color while offering excellent traction and comfort in hand. G-10 is lightweight yet incredibly durable, and the textured surface gives you a secure grip without being overly aggressive. The rear stainless steel scale, finished to match the blade, adds structural strength and visual balance. Together, they create a knife that’s both eye-catching and built to last.

At 4.75” closed and 8.25” overall, the XM-18 Skinny Slicer is large enough to handle tough jobs but slim enough for easy carry. The .14” blade thickness hits the sweet spot for slicing performance and strength, while the tip-down pocket clip and lanyard hole give you flexible carry options.

Proudly made in the USA, this knife isn’t just a tool—it’s a statement of quality and craftsmanship. The XM-18 Skinny Slicer Red G-10 is a knife you’ll be proud to carry, use, and rely on every single day.
