Hinderer XM-18 Skinny Slicer Red G-10 – Battle Bronze 3.5in Plain Working Drop Point KXM35SKSLTWBBZRD

The Hinderer XM-18 Skinny Slicer Working Finish Red & Battle Bronze is the kind of knife that turns heads and tackles work without missing a beat. Proudly made in the USA, this folding knife captures Rick Hinderer's legendary craftsmanship in a design that's built for serious performance and everyday carry. With premium materials, rugged finishes, and bold style, it's ready to be your next trusted companion.

At the heart of this knife is a 3.5” CPM MagnaCut stainless steel blade, offering an unbeatable combination of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. The drop point blade shape is one of the most versatile out there, perfect for slicing, piercing, and detailed work. The Working Finish not only gives the blade a rugged, broken-in appearance but also helps hide the inevitable scuffs and marks from heavy use, keeping it looking sharp day after day.

Opening the blade is quick and easy, giving you two reliable options depending on your mood or mission. Use the blade flipper for fast, one-handed action or the ambidextrous thumb studs for a more deliberate, controlled open. Thanks to Hinderer's Tri-Way Pivot System, you can also customize how the blade moves by swapping between caged ball bearings, phosphor bronze washers, or Teflon washers, all included with the knife. Whether you prefer ultra-smooth deployment or the gritty reliability of bronze washers, the XM-18 adapts to your needs in seconds.

The handle setup on this version of the Skinny Slicer brings an ideal mix of toughness and eye-catching color. The front side is fitted with a vibrant red G-10 scale, offering a solid, non-slip grip without feeling too aggressive on your hands or pockets. The back side features a Battle Bronze-finished stainless steel frame, delivering a rugged, well-worn look that pairs perfectly with the red G-10. It's a bold and confident combination that feels right at home in the field, the workshop, or out on the town.

The framelock mechanism locks the blade securely into place during use, giving you rock-solid confidence no matter the task. At 4.75” closed and 8.25” overall with a blade thickness of .14”, the Skinny Slicer strikes the perfect balance between slim, easy-carry comfort and serious cutting capability. A tip-down pocket clip ensures the knife stays exactly where you want it, and the built-in lanyard hole gives you extra options for carry and quick access.

Built with pride and precision, the Hinderer XM-18 Skinny Slicer Working Finish Red & Battle Bronze is more than just a folding knife—it's a true American-made tool designed for those who expect the very best from their gear. Every detail, from the feel of the deployment to the fit and finish of the frame, speaks to Hinderer's dedication to quality.
