Hinderer XM-24 Blue – Working Finish 4in Plain Working Finish Spanto K3003SGW00BL

The Hinderer Knives XM-24 Blue & Working Finish Spanto is built for those who want maximum strength, bold style, and uncompromising performance in one commanding folder. As one of the largest and most capable models in the Hinderer lineup, the XM-24 delivers serious cutting power backed by premium materials and precision American craftsmanship.

At the heart of this powerhouse is a 4” Spanto blade crafted from CPM S45VN stainless steel. The Spanto blade style—Hinderer’s signature blend of spear point and tanto—combines a strong, reinforced tip with a versatile cutting edge, offering both piercing strength and slicing efficiency. CPM S45VN is known for its outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it an excellent choice for demanding use. With a robust 0.18” blade thickness, this knife has the backbone to tackle hard cutting tasks while maintaining impressive edge stability.

Both the blade and lockside feature a rugged working finish that enhances durability and helps conceal the inevitable signs of real-world use. This finish gives the XM-24 a purposeful, broken-in look right out of the box, and it only gains more character over time. It’s a knife that’s meant to be used, not admired from a distance.

Measuring 9.15” overall with a 5.4” handle length, the XM-24 provides a full, commanding grip that fills the hand with confidence. Its larger footprint offers increased leverage and control, especially when tackling heavier cutting chores. Despite its size, it remains well-balanced and comfortable to carry. At 6.7 ounces, it has a solid, reassuring weight that reflects its heavy-duty construction without feeling excessive.

The blue G-10 handle scale adds a bold splash of color while delivering reliable performance. G-10 is prized for its strength, lightweight properties, and resistance to moisture and temperature changes. The textured surface ensures a secure grip in a variety of conditions, allowing for confident handling whether you’re working indoors or out. Paired with the working finish lockside, the blue scale creates a striking yet practical combination.

Deployment is fast and decisive thanks to the blade flipper. A firm press sends the 4” Spanto blade snapping open with smooth, authoritative action. Once deployed, the framelock engages securely, providing the dependable lockup that Hinderer knives are known for. The framelock design delivers strength and stability, reinforcing the XM-24’s reputation as a serious hard-use tool.

Every detail of this XM-24 reflects precision machining and thoughtful engineering. From its premium blade steel to its durable finishes and ergonomic design, it’s built to perform consistently under pressure.
