One of the World’s Famous Knives – Hinderer

Rick Hinderer developed the frame lock release stop, and this design has become a standard feature for large folding knives. This knife even set off a craze for titanium frame lock tabs. Up to this day, there are very few knives that can match it. The Hinderer XM-18 series of folding knives have endured the test of time and remained popular all along. It has become one of the best-selling large folding knives on the market and also one of the most powerful tactical folding knives in the world. The ergonomics of Hinderer knives, the materials, and the geometry of the blades are all optimized to withstand tough usage. Moreover, they possess innovative technologies specifically designed to endure harsh working conditions. Rick Hinderer invented the Hinderer lock bar stabilizer, which is the trademark disc on the lock side of the knife. It can keep the lock bar in place and prevent it from being permanently damaged.
