Rick Hinderer XM-18 TC4 Titanium Scale with Mokuti Inlay — Elevate Your Hinderer

Titanium Strength. Mokuti Soul.

The Rick Hinderer XM-18 is one of the most respected tactical folders ever produced — overbuilt, precise, and uncompromising. The TAITAN EDGE TC4 Titanium Scale with Mokuti Inlay matches that standard and raises it. Machined from aerospace-grade TC4 titanium and inlaid with hand-forged Mokuti — a rare molybdenum-titanium alloy — this scale transforms your Hinderer into a collector-grade piece that carries as hard as it looks.

Mokuti is one of the rarest materials in the custom knife world. Its swirling, iridescent pattern is the result of the forge-welding process — organic, unpredictable, and impossible to replicate. Set against the cool, structured surface of TC4 titanium, the Mokuti inlay creates a visual contrast that is both striking and sophisticated. This is a scale that rewards attention.

Why TC4 Titanium + Mokuti?

• TC4 Titanium (Grade 5, Ti-6Al-4V) — aerospace-spec alloy used in aviation and medical applications; exceptional strength, zero corrosion, minimal weight
• Mokuti inlay — hand-forged molybdenum-titanium alloy with a swirling iridescent pattern; no two inlays are the same
• Precision CNC-machined — tight tolerances ensure a perfect drop-in fit on the XM-18
• Dual-material contrast — the Mokuti inlay pops against the titanium base, creating a layered, premium aesthetic that catches light from every angle

What You'll Experience

• The solid, cool authority of Grade 5 titanium in your grip
• The iridescent shimmer of Mokuti shifting with every movement — subtle in shadow, electric in light
• A Hinderer that looks like no other in any collection
