Brand new, direct from Heretic Knives, USA.

Blade: Custom hand hollow ground, the Tanto blade has stunning high polish grinds and satin flats. The blade delivers powerful performance if you can bring yourself to use it, or exceptional visual appeal for your collection. Deployment via the double action automatic mechanism is fast, smooth, and reliable. Press the bronze anodized slide up to open and down to close.

Handle: Hefty stainless steel handles are long enough for a solid grip with no excess real estate for ease of carry. Smooth chamfered edges paired with strategically placed scallops provide a perfect blend of comfort and traction. The flats have been hand satin finished for a two-tone look to highlight the handsome desert ironwood inlays and complementary bronze hardware. Includes box, microfiber bag, zipper pouch and “Certificate of Badassery” plate.

Carries via a right-hand 3D milled stainless steel clip.

Bohler Elmax: Bohler Elmax is a popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. Elmax has similar performance to the American CPM-S30V/S35VN, falling between the two in terms of edge retention and toughness, with S35VN level corrosion resistance and similar sharpening response.
