Today we're taking a close look at this Hinderer XM-18 replica - one of the most iconic knife designs of the last 20 years that continues to dominate the high-end folding knife market.

This budget version comes in at just $46 compared to the $700+ price tag of an authentic Hinderer. It features full titanium scales on both sides and uses 9Cr18MoV steel - not a premium steel by any means, but one that offers decent edge retention and excellent corrosion resistance.

I'll examine the details of this replica, comparing what it offers against the authentic version, and share my thoughts on its overall execution. While replicas like this can provide insight into iconic designs for those curious about knife history, they come with their own set of compromises.
