Hinderer XM-24 Black – Stonewash 4in Plain Stonewash Wharncliffe XM244WWF

When you want maximum strength, commanding presence, and uncompromising performance, the Hinderer XM-24 4.0 Wharncliffe Black & Stonewash answers the call. Designed by master knife maker Rick Hinderer and precision-built by Rick Hinderer Knives in the USA, this powerhouse folder takes the proven XM platform and scales it up into a serious hard-use tool.

At the heart of the XM-24 is a formidable 4.0-inch Wharncliffe blade crafted from premium CPM S45VN stainless steel. This high-performance steel delivers exceptional edge retention, impressive corrosion resistance, and the toughness needed for demanding cutting tasks. The Wharncliffe profile offers a long, straight cutting edge that excels at controlled slicing and precision work, while the reinforced tip provides strength where it counts. Finished in Hinderer’s rugged working finish, the blade has a low-reflection, tool-ready look that hides wear and reinforces its no-nonsense character. With a robust blade thickness of approximately .185 inches at the spine, it’s built to handle serious pressure without flinching.

The handle pairs a textured black G-10 scale on the show side with a stonewashed titanium frame lock on the reverse. The G-10 offers a confident, secure grip in wet or dry conditions, while the titanium lock side provides outstanding strength and durability. Hinderer’s integrated lockbar stabilizer prevents overextension of the frame lock, adding long-term reliability to an already proven design. At roughly 9.125 inches overall and weighing about 7.8 ounces, the XM-24 has a substantial, reassuring feel in hand that reflects its heavy-duty build.

Deployment is fast and decisive thanks to the flipper tab and thumb studs, and the Tri-Way pivot system allows you to tune the action to your preference. Whether you prefer the ultra-smooth feel of bearings or the controlled movement of phosphor bronze or Teflon washers, this knife adapts to your style. The open-back construction with sturdy standoffs reduces weight, improves balance, and makes cleaning straightforward after hard use. A reversible titanium pocket clip offers flexible carry options, ensuring the knife rides the way you prefer.

Every detail of the XM-24 reflects thoughtful engineering and real-world experience. From the precision-machined hardware to the ergonomic handle design that accommodates larger hands comfortably, it’s clear this knife was built for those who expect more from their gear. It isn’t just big for the sake of being big; it’s purpose-built to deliver strength, control, and durability in demanding environments.
