The **Rick Hinderer XM-18 3.5**" is a solid pocket knife, made to be used. A workers knife from the highest class. The finish is simply perfect; grip wherever you might need it and curved wherever possible. It feels amazing in hand. When opened, the flipper will keep your fingers away from the edge. So during the more demanding cutting jobs, you never have to worry about slipping and ending up on the blade.

 The spanto blade is made from CPM 20CV-steel. A premium type of powdered steel, which means that the structure of the steel is very fine. As such it stays sharp for a very long time. 20CV is also corrosion resistant. This shape is very versatile, perfect for real users. A fingerchoil (finger groove) has been inserted between the flipper and the edge. This allows you to have more control over the blade during the more precise cutting tasks. The nice finish on the blade is striking.

 The XM18 is easy to open with the (double) thumb studs. This is the latest generation of XM18s with the Tri-Way-Pivot system. The knife is enhanced with ball bearings but you also receive bronze and teflon washers to make sure you can decide which bearings system you prefer. There is also a steel lockbar insert which makes the lock even more durable.

 When opened, a solid frame lock ensures that the blade stays in place. A characteristic detail for Hinderer is the *lockbar stabilizer*. This is a round disc on the side of the titanium handle. It ensures that you cannot overstretch the lock. You can keep the XM-18 close with the titanium pocket clip. This tip-down is mounted on the right side, but with a Phillips-head screwdriver you can easily turn it into a tip-up.

 The Rick Hinderer philosophy is: a knife is a tool that should work for you, never the other way around. For that reason Hinderer Knives are made to be used. This XM-18 is the perfect example.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_blade_length_edge

The length of the cutting edge is measured from the tip to the start of the edge. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Cutting edge length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_closed_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
