Hinderer XM-18 3.5″
This pre-owned Hinderer XM-18 3.5″ is in mint condition and comes with all the items you see in the pictures. Please refer to the images to inspect the item in detail.
The XM Series 3.5″ model has a blade thickness of 0.165″ a handle thickness of 0.540″, making it a perfect, hard use design for EDC. The oversized choil permits choking up on the blade for more precise work. The blade locks up on a solid 1/4″ 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.
Speaking of the pivot, Rick Hinderer makes his own 17-4PH Stainless steel pivots on a new state of the art CNC turning center, thus guaranteeing precise accuracy. The pivot is a 1/4″ barrel diameter with a 3/8″ head. The pivot is drilled and tapped completely through and is mated with a custom designed screw. This system makes for an incredibly strong pivot that is easy to adjust in the field.
The XM folder handle shape is designed to be very ergonomic and comfortable in a wide variety of user positions. Not everyone’s hands are the same size, and also grip varies greatly, so the ergonomic handles design is great fit for all users. The textured pattern used on the handle scale is extremely grippy but does not ‘bite’ the hand during use. The 3D texture is designed to flow liquids (such as sweat, oils, blood, etc.) away from your skin and into the valleys of the texture.
