Hinderer XM-18 3″ GEN 6 SW 20CV Wharncliffe FDE G10 Bronze Tri-Way Pivot Flipper

The Hinderer Knives XM-18 3″ Gen 6 Wharncliffe is a precision-crafted tactical folder featuring a powerful Wharncliffe blade and integral flipper for easy opening when it matters most. The smallest of the XM series the 3″ is still plenty robust but more suited for every day carry. This version comes with a stonewashed 20CV blade, Flat Dark Earth brown G10 Scale and tumbled Bronze titanium frame and clip.

The Gen 6 features a hardened steel lock face insert and Tri-Way Pivot system detailed below.

Brand new directly from the Hinderer Ranch.

Blade: The three inch blade opens fast and smooth via the integral flipper or dual thumb studs/blade stops and a full finger choil gives a high level of control for detail work. The CPM 20CV blade delivers optimum edge retention and corrosion resistance and sports Hinderer’s heavy Stonewashed finish. The new, state-of-the-art Tri-Way pivot system delivers smooth deployment with user customizable operation. The detent is dialed in for decisive deployment.

Handle: Full titanium frame lock and liner have a matching Bronze anodized Stonewash Finish that is rugged and hides wear over time. A 3D textured FDE G10 scale coupled with jimping all around creates a secure grip. The XM-18 includes the iconic Hinderer Lockbar Stabilizer and two-position stonewashed Bronze titanium clip and insert for tip up or down, right hand carry.

The XM-18 is completely customizable with accessory clips, scales and hardware.

CPM 20CV: CPM 20CV is a highly wear resistant, powder metallurgy stainless tool steel, an analog to Bohler’s M390, 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.

Tri-Way Pivot: The newest innovation from Rick Hinderer, the Tri-Way pivot features milled pockets in the blade and frame allowing for the use of ball bearing pivot washers (installed) or, utilizing steel spacers to fill those pockets, you can use either of the included sets of nylon or bronze washers to customize the action and operation of your knife.
