Hinderer XM-18 3.5" Sheepsfoot
The XM-18 is known worldwide as one of the toughest tactical folders regardless of mission requirements. Rick Hinderer designed the XM-18 as a no-nonsense tactical tool ready for simple cutting tasks or high-speed operations. The CNC flat ground blade offers maximum cutting potential with an oversized choil that permits choking up on the blade for more precise work. The blade locks up on a solid 1/4" diameter thumb stud that's press-fitted into the blade for a very strong lockup without the loosening issues that can happen with two-piece designs. The thumb stud locking against the frame adds incredible strength to sideways blade torque as the stresses are absorbed by the whole handle side, relieving stress that would normally concentrate at the pivot. Built for users who need proven tactical folder durability with engineering that prioritizes lock strength and reliability under demanding conditions. This variant has a stonewashed Finish 3.5" S45VN Sheepsfoot blade, Black textured G10, and a Stonewash Blue titanium lock side.
