Description
Hinderer Knives XM-18 3.5" Spanto Tri-Way Blue Black G10 Blue Titanium Handle Stonewash S45VN Blade
The Hinderer XM-18 is known as one of the toughest tactical folders. "Rick's focus when designing the XM-18 was a no nonsense tactical tool ready for the simplest cutting tasks to high speed low drag operations. The XM Series CNC flat ground Spanto blade is the best of both worlds offering maximum cutting potential in a blade that has a durable tip for prying; retaining its thickness right out to the tip. The oversized choil permits choking up on the blade for more precise work. The blade locks up on a solid ¼ in diameter Thumb stud which is press fitted into the blade. This makes for a very strong lockup as there is no loosening of the thumb stud which can happen with two piece designs. The fact that the thumb stud locks up against the frame adds an incredible amount of strength to the sideways torque of the blade as the sideways stresses are being stopped by the whole handle side, thus relieving the stress that would normally be put on the pivot."
This version features a textured blue black G-10 top handle scale and a stonewash blue titanium back scale. Stonewash finished S45VN stainless steel spanto blade. Tri-way pivot blade. Brand new in box.
