Hinderer Firetac Tanto Black G10 Blue Bead Blast Titanium and Bead Blast 20CV Folding Knife (3.56")

Hinderer Firetac in Black G10 wears a head-to-toe bead-blast look, with a blue anodized titanium frame and a tanto blade in CPM 20CV steel, finished with low-key stainless hardware.

• Bead Blasted CPM-20CV Tanto Blade — CPM-20CV steel takes a soft, matte bead-blast finish behind a strong tanto point built for tough push cuts and detail tip work. An ambidextrous thumb disc spins the blade open from either side with a quick middle-finger flick.
• Blue Bead Blast Anodized Frame and Black G10 — A matte blue anodized titanium frame carries the same bead-blast texture as the blade, set against a black G10 front scale for a low-key, work-ready look. Stainless steel hardware keeps the build simple and sturdy.
• Tri-Way Pivot System — The Rick Hinderer signature pivot lets you tune how the blade swings by switching between ball bearings, phosphor bronze washers, or Teflon washers. Set it loose and fast or smooth and damped, then change it again whenever your preference shifts.
• Titanium Frame Lock with Lock Bar Stabilizer — A titanium frame lock with a hardened stainless steel insert drops the blade into a solid, repeatable lockup. The Hinderer Lock Bar Stabilizer keeps the lock bar from overtraveling for years of dependable use.

The Hinderer Firetac

The Hinderer Firetac is the regular-production version of one of the earliest folder designs Rick Hinderer ever made, revived years later with the same overbuilt reputation the company is known for. It runs thinner and lighter than the flagship XM-18, which makes it easier to carry every day without giving up toughness. A titanium frame lock with a hardened stainless steel insert and the Hinderer Lock Bar Stabilizer holds the blade open under hard use, and the Tri-Way pivot lets the owner tune the action. An ambidextrous thumb disc handles opening, with room for a quick middle-finger flick.
