Hinderer XM-18 3.5″ Recurve 20CV Orange G10 Blue Stonewashed Tri-Way Flipper 1289

The Hinderer Knives XM-18 3.5” is a precision-crafted hard-use tactical folder you can carry every day. It features an integral flipper tab and dual thumb studs for fast, easy operation in a mid-sized platform designed to fit most hands comfortably while handling nearly any task. Easy, one-hand operation and a reliable lock system are the foundation of the XM series. This recurve variant comes with a stonewashed 20CV blade, blue anodized frame and orange G10 scale.

Brand new directly from the Hinderer Knives.

Blade: Riding on the installed Tri-Way pivot bearings, the recurve blade opens fast and smooth via the integral flipper or dual thumb studs. A high saber grind and full length swedge deliver performance balanced with durability and powerful slicing ability. A full forward choil allows for excellent control, paired with spine jimping for traction. The stonewashed finish hides wear while looking good over time.

Handle: Titanium frame and liner come in a matching blue stonewashed finish that hides wear with style while the textured G10 scale and jimping provide a secure grip. Equipped with a steel lock face insert, the integral frame lock has solid lockup and smooth operation for safe use. The Hinderer LockBar Stabilizer, titanium clip insert and hardware make this a fully customizable modular design.

Carries via a right-hand titanium pocket clip.

Tri-Way Pivot: The Tri-Way pivot features milled pockets in the blade and frame comes with smooth operating ball bearing pivot washers installed. By utilizing included steel spacers to fill those pockets, users can get a more classic feel with either nylon or bronze washers also included.

CPM-20CV: CPM-20CV (analog to M390 and CTS-204P) is a premium powder metallurgy (PM) stainless steel with high level edge retention and corrosion resistance. Relatively easy to sharpen, the coarse microstructure gives this steel lower toughness.
