Hinderer Knives: XM-18 3.5 inch Fatty Wharncliffe w/Tri-Way - Stonewashed

The XM-18 Fatty 3.5 inch is just what it sounds like: a fat version of the normal XM-18 3.5 inch. The Fatty blade is 0.185 inch thick, 0.02 inch thicker than a standard XM-18 3.5 inch blade (0.165 inch). Hinderer makes it all work by using a combination of standard XM-18 3.5 inch hardware, XM-24 hardware, and some parts just for the Fatty. If you are looking to get some new parts to swap out to customize the Fatty, the part break down is:

• Fatty Pivot Screw = Standard XM-18 3.5 inch
• Fatty Scale Screws = Standard XM-18 3.5 inch
• Fatty Standoffs = XM-24
• Fatty Handle Nuts are unique to the Fatty

The Blade: The Wharncliffe profile is a favorite here at the shop. The straight, devastatingly sharp edge will make short work of whatever you put it up against! Finished in a stonewashed finish with the circle "F" mark on the flipper tab designating it as a Fatty.

The Frame: Titanium frame is also with stonewashed finish. XM textured G10 scale.

Tri-Way Pivot System: Hinderer's 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 with choice of ball bearings, teflon washers, or bronze phosphor washers. Knife includes all three options. 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! Last three pictures are for reference on the Tri-Way system and may not picture actual knife.

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. The 3 inch XM-18 is built to the same ëhell-a tough' standard as his larger brother, but just in a smaller size for more discreet cary or for those in restrictive environments.
