Hinderer XM-18 3.5" Recurve Non-Flipper Orange G10 Working Finish Titanium and MagnaCut Working Finish Folding Knife (3.50" Blade)

In Orange G10, this Hinderer XM-18 3.5" Recurve is a hard-use folder built on thick MagnaCut stock and a Working Finish titanium frame lock. The 3D-machined scale grips well, and an oversized choil opens up close work.

• Magnacut Recurve Blade - Magnacut resists rust better than most high-performance steels, and it holds an edge through long pulls without becoming a sharpening chore. The recurve belly catches rope and webbing and keeps cutting instead of skating off.
• Titanium Frame Lock with Lockbar Stabilizer - Lockup arrives early and sits dead solid, with no play in any direction. The 6AL4V titanium lock side is CNC machined thick, and the Hinderer lockbar stabilizer keeps the bar from being bent past where it should travel.
• Tri-Way Pivot System - Swap between caged bearings, phosphor bronze washers, or Teflon to tune the action to the work. Running on bearings the blade free-falls with no effort. A strong detent means the thumb studs flick it open in a single motion.
• Orange G10 Handle - Textured orange G10 covers a titanium liner on the show side, a grip that holds up with wet or gloved hands. Open frame standoffs let grit rinse straight out. The end to end reversible clip moves for left or right pocket carry.

The Hinderer XM-18 3.5"

The Hinderer XM-18 3.5" is Rick Hinderer's take on a folder you can genuinely beat on and then rebuild to taste. It is overbuilt on purpose, with a thick titanium frame lock, a Lockbar Stabilizer that keeps the lockbar from over-traveling, and a press-fit thumb stud that braces against the frame to absorb the sideways torque many folders can't. Hinderer designed the whole knife to come apart with common tools, down to the Tri-Way Pivot, which swaps between ball bearings, phosphor bronze washers, and Teflon depending on how you want the action to run.
