Description
The Hinderer XM-18 3.0 DLT Exclusive BPU #1109 Fullered Spear Folding Knife is a compact and highly collectible Hinderer folder built on the smaller 3-inch XM-18 platform. The original text has been normalized from “XM18” to XM-18, and the model is identified as a DLT Exclusive Fullered Spear configuration. With an overall length of approximately 18 cm, this piece offers the classic Hinderer build quality in a more pocket-friendly EDC size. DLT lists the XM-18 3-inch as one of Hinderer’s core XM categories, and also notes that DLT Exclusives include special grinds such as Fullered Spear. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
The blade is made from CPM-20CV steel and features Hinderer’s signature BPU (Battlefield Pick Up) battle-worn treatment. The Fullered Spear blade profile adds strong visual depth through its dual fuller grooves, giving the blade a more dimensional and aggressive look while preserving the clean utility of a spear-style profile. Public listings for the XM-18 3.0 Fullered Spear confirm the use of CPM-20CV, a 3.00-inch Fullered Spear blade, and an overall length of 7.00 inches, which is approximately 17.8 cm and matches the provided 18 cm specification. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
The handle combines a brown G10 scale with a BPU textured titanium lock side, creating a strong contrast between rugged battlefield finishing and warm tactical utility. The textured lock side adds grip, depth, and visual character, while the brown G10 scale gives the knife a more classic field-use appearance.
This knife uses Hinderer’s Tri-Way pivot system, allowing the user to configure the action with bearings, bronze washers, or Teflon washers depending on preferred feel and durability. The frame lock structure, compact proportions, and Fullered Spear blade make this XM-18 3.0 both practical for everyday carry and highly attractive to collectors. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
