The Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Bowie Black G-10 Bronze Stonewashed is a purpose-built folding knife that reflects Rick Hinderer’s reputation for creating hard-use tools without compromise. Designed for those who demand real-world performance, this folder delivers the kind of precision engineering, premium materials, and rugged dependability that have made the XM-18 one of the most respected knives in the industry. From daily carry to serious field use, this knife is built to perform when it matters most.
At the center of this powerhouse is a 3.5-inch Bowie blade crafted from CPM 20CV stainless steel, one of the most sought-after premium blade steels available today. Known for its exceptional edge retention, outstanding corrosion resistance, and impressive wear resistance, CPM 20CV is built to tackle repeated cutting tasks while holding a razor-sharp edge. The classic Bowie profile offers a versatile cutting geometry with a sharp, defined tip for precision work and a generous belly for slicing performance. Finished in Hinderer’s rugged stonewash treatment, the blade shrugs off wear while maintaining a clean, battle-tested appearance that only gets better with use.
Fast deployment comes courtesy of the smooth flipper action, allowing quick one-handed opening whenever speed is essential. Once deployed, the framelock mechanism provides rock-solid lockup and dependable strength, giving you confidence during demanding tasks. Hinderer’s precision craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the flawless action to the secure lock engagement.
The handle combines lightweight strength with unmistakable style. The black G-10 front scale offers outstanding grip and durability, even in wet or challenging conditions, while the bronze titanium frame brings exceptional structural integrity along with a distinctive finish that sets this knife apart from the crowd. This contrast between the tactical black G-10 and warm bronze titanium creates a striking, refined look that balances rugged utility with premium aesthetics.
Measuring 8.25 inches overall and 4.75 inches closed, the XM-18 3.5 strikes an ideal balance between substantial cutting capability and practical everyday carry. The tip-down pocket clip keeps the knife secure and accessible, making it a dependable companion whether you're on the job, in the field, or adding another standout piece to your collection.
Built to work, designed to last, and unmistakably Hinderer, the XM-18 3.5 Bowie is a folding knife that stands ready for anything.
