Heretic Knives Manticore-S Recurve Battleworn Black Elmax Black OTF Automatic H025-8A

The Heretic Knives Manticore-S is the smallest of the Manticore Series of double action, out the front, automatic knives. The scaled down Manticore-S has the same contoured, 3D machined, aircraft grade aluminum handle with stylish fluted milling and traction scallops for a secure grip. This version comes with a Battleworn black coated Elmax recurve blade and black handle.

Brand new, direct from Heretic Knives.

Blade: The sleek hollow ground recurve blade combines powerful cutting performance with an elegant look. Finished in a tumbled black Cerakote, the Battleworn blade is discreetly non-reflective and hides wear from use. Deployment via the double action automatic mechanism is fast, smooth, and reliable. Press the steel thumb slide up to deploy and down to retract.

Handle: Black anodized aluminum handles offer just under 4 inches of real estate to fill the grip while still offering ease of carry. The contoured handle has smooth chamfered edges paired with strategically placed scallops and fluted milling for a perfect blend of comfort and traction. With markings on the spine and rear mounted screws, the knife retains a clean look. High traction stainless-steel slide, integral lanyard hole and hardened steel glass breaker complete the construction.

Carries via a right-hand stainless steel deep carry clip.

Bohler Elmax: Bohler Elmax is a popular choice for high-end user grade knives. Elmax is comparable to American CPM-S30V/S35VN in terms of edge retention, toughness, and sharpening with a slight improvement in corrosion resistance.
