Hinderer Knives: XM-18 3.5 inch Slicer (Hollow Grind) - Working Finish

The Blade: The Hinderer Slicer blade profile is especially good at -you guessed it- slicing especially when paired with the hollow grind! The Slicer is similar to a spearpoint profile, but with a primary grind that sort of angles up towards the tip, resulting in a little bit thinner and "more slicey-like" tip. Great overall use profile with Hinderer's Working Finish The Frame: Titanium lock side and scale liner are titanium with Working Finish. The G10 scale has Hinderer's XM texture for secure grip. Tri-Way Pivot System: Hinderer's new Tri-Way pivot system lets you configure your XM-18 further than ever before! The system lets the end-user configure their knife's pivot system to their own personal preference, with choice of bearing, teflon washers or bronze phosphor washers. Simply disassemble the knife*, and install whichever option suits your needs! Note: Disassembly of pivot is required to change pivot system. Hinderer Armorer Tool is recommended for the job. Remember, use the right tools, or feel like a fool! About the XM-18: The XM-18 is the combination of over 25 years of old world knife making craftsmanship combined with modern 3D design and CNC technology. The result is a folder that performs like a fixed blade that has become one of the benchmarks in the hard use folder category. • Framelock side features the patented Hinderer Lockbar Stabilizer (LBS) which prevents over torquing of the lockbar which can happen under stress (especially when using gloves). • The XM-18 series of folders are completely modular. Just about every part (including scale, screws, standoffs, pivot, clip, etc.) can be changed by the user to suit their tastes. • Pocket clip can be set for tip-up or tip-down carry. • Can be deployed using flipper tab or blade stud
