Hinderer XM-18 Skinny Slicer Translucent Green 3.5in Plain Working Drop Point KXM35SKSLTWSWTG

The Hinderer XM-18 Skinny Slicer Translucent Green & Battle Bronze is a standout piece of American craftsmanship, blending cutting-edge materials with iconic design and precision engineering. Proudly made in the USA, this premium everyday carry folding knife delivers the perfect balance of performance, strength, and eye-catching aesthetics. It’s built for users who demand reliability in the field, on the job, or in everyday situations—and appreciate a knife that looks as good as it performs.

At the core of this impressive build is a 3.5-inch drop point blade made from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, a modern super steel known for combining edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance like few others can. The Working Finish adds a rugged, stonewashed texture that hides wear and gives the blade a ready-for-anything look, perfectly suited to the XM-18’s hard-use pedigree. Whether you’re slicing, piercing, or tackling heavy-duty utility work, the Skinny Slicer blade profile handles it all with power and finesse.

One of the hallmarks of this knife is its dual deployment system—featuring both a blade flipper and ambidextrous thumb studs—giving you smooth, versatile opening options to match your preference or the task at hand. Backing it up is Hinderer’s renowned Tri-Way Pivot system, allowing you to customize the action with bearings, phosphor bronze, or nylon washers. It’s a user-friendly innovation that enhances durability while giving you total control over your knife’s performance. The framelock mechanism delivers rock-solid lockup, ensuring complete confidence in any environment.

The handle pairs a translucent green G-10 front scale with a Battle Bronze stainless steel frame on the back, creating a striking contrast that’s both functional and visually distinctive. The G-10 offers lightweight grip and durability, while the Battle Bronze frame and matching tip-down pocket clip provide robust structural integrity and a uniquely refined finish. Together, they create a slim, ergonomic profile that’s comfortable in hand and easy to carry.

Measuring 4.75 inches closed and 8.25 inches overall, with a blade thickness of .14 inches, the Skinny Slicer feels substantial without being overbuilt. Weighing in at a comfortable, pocket-friendly size, it’s designed to disappear in your pocket until you need it—and perform like a much larger tool when you do. A lanyard hole at the base adds another layer of versatility, allowing you to tailor carry and access to your style.

Offered by the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, and available at the best online knife store, the Hinderer XM-18 Skinny Slicer Translucent Green & Battle Bronze stands as a true example of American-made excellence. With its top-tier steel, customizable pivot, and bold, functional design, this knife isn’t just built for daily use—it’s built to be carried with pride. Whether you're a collector, a hard-use enthusiast, or someone who appreciates quality gear, this is a folder that more than earns its place in your rotation.
