Rick Hinderer Knives hail from Shreve, Ohio, USA. The knives are named after the designer and owner, Rick Hinderer. Rick not only designs and produces his own knives, he has designed some of the best selling knives for Kershaw and Zero Tolerance.
The Hinderer folding knife line includes several sizes of the XM; which include the XM-18 in 3” and 3.5” versions; and the XM-24 4”. Other models include the Eklipse and MP-1 (Modular Platform 1). The XM lineup has been made in spear point, tanto, bowie, spanto, skinner, and slicer grinds. To add to the variety of these knives, they have also been made in a range of finishes like stonewash, bead blasted, working finish, and a several DLC colors.
Customization Options
Rick has made all of his knives customizable with removable clips and filler tabs. Each knife is made with a clip that can be moved to accommodate the user with a tip-up or tip-down carry option. With that in mind, each knife includes a small tab to fill the open area slot opposite where the clip is mounted. The tabs and clips come in a huge range of colors and designs, which can be swapped to suit each user. Adding the the customization options, the scale screws, pivot screw, scale nuts, lockbar stabilizer, and barrel spacers are also user replaceable. Each knife is more than capable as they come from the factory, but can be made into a unique piece as time goes on with all of the available options.
Blade Steels
The standard steel used in Hinderer knives is CPM S35VN stainless steel, but they have been made in CPM 20CV stainless steel and CPM 3V carbon steel. There has also been a teaser post made by Rob Orlando, Hinderer employee, about an project in Bohler M390.
Summary
Each knife is built and inspected by true artisans of the craft. Each knife includes a lifetime warranty and are guaranteed against manufacturer defects and workmanship.
