Hinderer XM-18 Translucent Green - Working 3.5in Plain Working Skinny Harpoon Spanto KXM35SKHSTWWFTG

The Hinderer XM-18 Translucent Green & Working Finish is a folding knife that combines modern style with unmatched functionality, making it an ideal choice for anyone who values both performance and craftsmanship. Proudly made in the USA, this everyday carry folding knife exemplifies Hinderer’s dedication to precision engineering, thoughtful design, and long-lasting durability. With its translucent green handle and rugged Working finish, it stands out in any collection while remaining a practical, hard-use tool.

At the heart of this knife is its 3.5-inch skinny harpoon spanto blade, crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel. MagnaCut is one of the most advanced steels available, celebrated for its edge retention, toughness, and resistance to corrosion. The skinny harpoon spanto profile combines a reinforced tip for piercing strength with a slicing-efficient belly, creating a blade that excels in everyday cutting tasks and more demanding use alike. At .14 inches thick, it’s nimble enough for precision work yet strong enough to handle tougher challenges. The Working finish adds character to the blade while helping conceal wear and tear, ensuring it maintains a rugged, utilitarian look even after extensive use.

The handle design is both striking and practical. The front scale is made from translucent green G-10, offering a lightweight, grippy surface that feels secure in hand while providing a unique visual appeal. The rear handle is stainless steel finished to match the blade’s Working finish, adding balance, strength, and durability. The combination of materials delivers a knife that’s comfortable to hold for extended use while offering a bold, modern aesthetic. Closed, the XM-18 measures 4.75 inches, making it easy to carry, and opens to a full 8.25 inches, giving you a substantial tool that performs as well as it looks. At 4.7 ounces, it’s light enough for everyday carry without sacrificing the solid feel and confidence you want in a premium folder.

Hinderer’s Tri-Way pivot system is a defining feature of the XM-18 line, allowing users to customize the blade action. You can choose between ball bearings for ultra-smooth flipping, phosphor bronze washers for consistent, durable performance, or Teflon washers for a traditional feel. The blade deploys quickly and efficiently using the flipper tab or ambidextrous thumb studs, while the framelock ensures a secure and dependable lockup every time. These features combine to create a knife that adapts to your preferences and handles real-world use with ease.

Practical touches enhance the overall functionality of the knife. A tip-down pocket clip provides secure, accessible carry, and a lanyard hole offers additional versatility for retention or personalization. Every detail is carefully considered, resulting in a knife that’s as functional as it is visually appealing.
