Description
The Hinderer Eklipse BPU #327 Harpoon Spanto Folding Knife is a highly collectible Hinderer tactical folder built around one of the brand’s most visually aggressive blade profiles. The original text has been corrected from “EKLpise” to Eklipse and from “Harppon” to Harpoon. With an overall length of approximately 21 cm, this piece belongs to the classic full-size Eklipse platform and carries the numbered BPU #327 designation.
The blade is made from CPM-20CV steel and features Hinderer’s signature BPU (Battlefield Pick Up) battle-worn treatment. The Harpoon Spanto profile combines the aggressive visual character of a harpoon-style spine with the reinforced geometry of a Spanto blade, giving the knife excellent strength, control, and tactical presence. Public product listings confirm that the Eklipse 3.5 platform has been offered with CPM-20CV, Harpoon Spanto blade geometry, and Tri-Way construction. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
The handle uses a black textured G10 scale paired with a titanium frame lock structure, giving the knife a rugged and dependable hard-use feel. The black G10 complements the BPU finish well, creating a low-profile tactical appearance while also providing practical grip texture for everyday carry and field use.
The knife is equipped with Hinderer’s Tri-Way pivot system, allowing the user to tune the knife with bearings, phosphor bronze washers, or Teflon washers depending on preference. This system gives the Eklipse platform a strong balance of smooth action, durability, and serviceability. Recon1 lists Eklipse 3.5 Tri-Way versions as running on bearings, bronze washers, or Teflon washers, with an overall length of 8.375 inches, approximately 21.27 cm. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
