Hinderer XM-18 3.25"
The XM-18 earned its reputation worldwide as one of the toughest tactical folders through no-nonsense design focused on real-world performance. Rick Hinderer built this knife to handle everything from simple cutting tasks to high-speed operations without compromise. The CNC flat ground blade delivers maximum cutting potential with geometry that slices efficiently. An oversized choil permits choking up on the blade for precise work when needed. The blade locks against a solid 1/4-inch diameter thumb stud press-fitted into the blade—no loosening issues from two-piece designs. The thumb stud locking against the frame adds incredible strength to sideways blade torque, transferring stress to the entire handle side and relieving pressure that normally concentrates at the pivot. The 3.25-inch blade size fills the gap between the 3.0 and 3.5 models, solving the constant debate about what size sits in between. Built for users who need proven reliability in a tactical folder that performs under pressure.
