The Hinderer XM-18 is known the world over as one of the toughest tactical folders regardless of your mission. 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, retaining its thickness right out to the tip. The over-sized choil permits choking up on the blade for more precise work. The blade locks up on a solid ¼in 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 8.8cm (3.5"), S45VN stainless steel blade with a Bowie shape. The handle is blue G10 on one side and blue anodised Titanium on the other.
