Hinderer XM-18 3.5″ Skinny Harpoon Spanto Working Finish 20CV Red G10 Tri-Way Flipper 1201

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 when it matters most. As the medium-sized model in the Hinderer XM line, the XM-18 3.5 was designed to fit most hands comfortably and has a mid-size blade to handle almost any task. Easy, one-hand operation and a reliable lock system are the foundation of the XM series. This Skinny version comes with a Working Finish CPM-20CV, Harpoon Spanto blade, matching titanium frame and Red G10 scale.

Brand new directly from the Hinderer Knives, USA.

Gen 6: hardened steel lock face insert and Tri-Way Pivot detailed below.

Blade: The Harpoon Spanto (Spear Tanto) blade opens fast and smooth via the integral flipper or dual thumb studs/blade stops thanks to the user customizable Tri-Way pivot system with bearings (installed) or nylon or bronze washers. The detent is dialed in for decisive flipper deployment. A high saber grind and harpoon swedge offer a balance of durability and cutting performance that is further enhanced with the Skinny 3.5 mm blade stock while the forward choil offers superior control for fine work. Premium 20CV offers top-end edge retention and corrosion resistance while the blasted and tumbled Working Finish is discreetly non-reflective and hides wear from use.

Handle: Full titanium frame lock and liner have a matching Working Finish that looks great while hiding wear from carry. Satin hardware and standoffs create a solid handle while a 3D textured G10 scale coupled with strategically placed jimping delivers traction in hand. Additional features include the Hinderer Lockbar Stabilizer, titanium clip insert and customizable modular design. The Skinny design reduces thickness and weight for a better carry experience.

Carries via a reversible, right hand only, titanium pocket clip.

Compatible Hardware: 3″ XM-18 Pivot screw, 3.5″ Skinny specific standoffs and handle screws, standard LBS, Pocket clip and filler tab.

Tri-Way Pivot: An innovative design from Hinderer, the Tri-Way pivot has milled pockets in the blade and frame allowing for the use of ball bearing pivot washers (installed). Utilizing steel spacers to fill those pockets, you can also use nylon or bronze washers (included) to customize the action.

CPM-20CV: CPM 20CV is a highly wear-resistant, powder metallurgy stainless steel, analogous to Bohler M390 and CTS-204P, and offers some of the best corrosion resistance and wear resistance in combination with a relative ease of sharpening. These properties along with a working hardness in the low 60s HRC make 20CV a prime choice among custom and production makers.
