Heretic Knives Manticore-S Tanto Two-Tone Battleworn Black Elmax OTF Automatic H023-8A-BATTLE

The Manticore-S is the smallest, double action out-the-front automatic in the Manticore line and is perfect for compact daily carry. Retaining the same countered, machined aircraft aluminum frame with traction scallops and fluted milling, the Manticore-S delivers double-action operation and a high performance stainless steel blade in a minimalist carry platform. This version comes with a two-tone Battleworn Black Elmax Tanto blade and matching Battleworn black aluminum handle.

Brand new, direct from Heretic Knives.

Blade: The +2.5 inch Tanto blade has a strong tip and saber grind for durability and performance, working well for a variety of tasks. The blade has a Battleworn Black Cerakote on the grinds with tumbled flats for a classy look that hides wear well. Double action automatic operation is fast, smooth, and reliable. Press the slide up to deploy and down to retract.

Handle: Anodized aluminum slabs offer just under 3.5 inches of handle, long enough for a solid grip with no excess real estate for ease of carry. Smooth chamfered edges paired with strategically placed scallops and fluted milling offer the perfect blend of comfort and traction while the Battleworn finished hides carry wear. Front and back are sterile with all markings on the spine for a clean look along with rear mounted titanium Torx hardware.

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.
