The Heretic Knives Hydra is a powerful, single action, out-the-front automatic built in an everyday carry size.

This version comes with an Elmax, two-tone black Tanto blade and black aluminum frame with solid copper top.

Brand new, direct from Heretic Knives, USA.

Blade: The sleek, hollow ground Tanto blade combines powerful performance and durability with a striking look, further enhanced by aggressive scalloping on the spine. The satin flats and black DLC coated grinds deliver a stylish two-tone look. A strong, single action automatic mechanism delivers fast, smooth automatic deployment. Slide the stainless-steel safety over and press the button. Action is strong, so keep a solid grip.

Handle: Milled, hard anodized aluminum pairs with the raw copper top to make the handle, shaped perfectly for a secure yet comfortable grip with strategic jimping for traction. Copper delivers a singular style with solid heft and will develop a unique natural patina over time. All markings are on the charging slide for a clean look. Access the button lock the same way you did for deployment to disengage the lock. Pull the slide down using the charging plate lanyard to charge the spring, making it ready for deployment.

Carries via a right hand milled titanium pocket 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.
