Hinderer XM-18 3.5″ Spanto Working Finish 20CV Blade, Blue G10 Handle With Working Finish Frame

The Spanto grind is a compound grind that brings together two key features:

• Reinforced Tip Strength: Unlike traditional spear points, the Spanto retains additional steel at the tip. This added strength ensures exceptional durability, even under lateral pressure or when used for prying.

• Precision Cutting Edge: The curved belly of the blade delivers outstanding slicing performance, making it just as effective for precise tasks as it is for heavy-duty work.

The name “Spanto” perfectly encapsulates its dual nature, combining the best qualities of both the spearpoint and tanto styles. 

The Spanto grind isn’t just another blade shape—it’s a solution. Its reinforced tip is ideal for tasks other blades simply can’t handle, like prying open frozen equipment or cutting through dense materials. Meanwhile, its curved edge ensures clean, efficient slicing, making it versatile enough for both everyday tasks and demanding fieldwork.
