Heretic Knives Manticore-S Tanto Battleworn Elmax Black OTF Automatic H023-5A

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 countered, milled and fluted, aircraft grade aluminum handle with traction scallops around the edge for a comfortable and secure grip in the hand. This version comes with a Battleworn Elmax Tanto blade and solid black handle.

Brand new, direct from Heretic Knives.

Blade: The sleek, saber ground, Tanto blade combines powerful cutting performance with an elegant look. The Elmax blade comes in a blasted and tumbled “Battleworn” finish for a rugged, non-reflective look that hides wear from use. Double action automatic operation is fast and smooth with good reliability. Press the stepped slide up to open and down to close.

Handle: Milled, hard anodized aluminum offers just under 3.5 inches of handle, for a solid grip with no excess real estate for ease of carry. Smooth chamfered edges provide contoured comfort paired with strategically placed scallops for traction and fluted milling for style. The front and back of the handles are sterile with company, model and serial number markings on the spine. Rear mounted Torx hardware, integral lanyard hole and hardened steel glass breaker pommel complete the construction.

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