Hinderer XM-18 3.5″ Slicer Battle Black DLC 20CV Black G10 Tri-Way Flipper 1255

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 CPM-20CV Slicer grind variant comes with Battle Black DLC finish and a black G10 scale.

Brand new directly from the Hinderer Knives.

Blade: Riding on the installed Tri-Way pivot bearings, the Slicer grind blade opens fast and smooth via the integral flipper or dual thumb studs. American CPM-20CV stainless steel has excellent capability with the rising Slicer grind, delivering balanced performance and durability. A full forward choil allows for excellent control, paired with spine jimping for traction. Tumbled “Battle Black” DLC hides wear from use and is discreetly non-reflective.

Handle: Titanium frame and liner come in matching Battle Black DLC for a rugged, wear hiding look and discreet carry while the textured black 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 reversible, right-hand only 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.
