SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Hinderer XM-18 Translucent Green & Stonewash with Stonewash Harpoon Spanto is a stunning combination of precision engineering, premium materials, and unmistakable Hinderer style. Designed and built with the kind of craftsmanship that has made Rick Hinderer Knives legendary among enthusiasts, this 3.5-inch XM-18 is more than a cutting tool—it’s a masterclass in functional design and mechanical excellence. Every detail, from the blade geometry to the ergonomics, has been purpose-built for performance, making it one of the most capable and admired folding knives available today.
At the heart of this knife is the Harpoon Spanto blade, measuring 3.5 inches of pure cutting power. The Harpoon Spanto profile combines a reinforced tip with a broad belly, offering exceptional strength, slicing ability, and control. Whether it’s precise work or heavy-duty cutting, this blade shape handles it all with ease. The stonewash finish adds a rugged touch, reducing glare while concealing wear from everyday use. It’s a finish that keeps the knife looking clean and professional, no matter how much you put it through.
The handle brings an eye-catching and modern flair with its Translucent Green G-10 front scale—a look that’s as unique as it is functional. G-10 is known for its strength, light weight, and secure grip, and the translucent variation adds a subtle depth that shifts in the light, giving the knife a distinctive personality. On the back, the stonewash stainless steel lockside not only enhances durability but also complements the blade’s finish for a cohesive, purpose-built aesthetic. The handle’s 4.75-inch length provides a comfortable, secure hold, while Hinderer’s renowned ergonomics ensure total control in any grip position.
Inside, the XM-18’s legendary Tri-Way Pivot system allows for complete customization of the knife’s action. You can choose between bearings for ultra-smooth deployment, phosphor bronze washers for rugged reliability, or Teflon washers for easy maintenance and consistent performance in harsh conditions. This modular system embodies the mechanical precision Hinderer is known for, letting users tune their knife to their exact preference. The flipper action is crisp and responsive, while the lockup feels rock solid—everything you’d expect from a high-performance Hinderer design.
The XM-18 Translucent Green & Stonewash isn’t just built to look good—it’s built to work hard. With a weight of 5.6 ounces, it offers a balanced, confident feel in hand without being cumbersome. Every contour and cutout is refined for comfort and performance, resulting in a knife that feels as natural to use as it does to admire. The stonewashed surfaces, precision hardware, and perfect machining reflect the pride and skill poured into every Hinderer creation.
