Heretic Knives Manticore-S Bowie Battleworn Elmax OTF Automatic H022B-5A

The Heretic Knives Manticore-S is the smallest of the Manticore Series of double action, out-the-front, automatic knives. Scaled down for easy of carry, this design retains the same contoured aircraft grade aluminum handle design. This version comes with a two-tone Battleworn Elmax Bowie blade and black handle.

Brand new, direct from Heretic Knives, USA.

Blade: The sleek, hollow ground, Bowie-style clip point blade combines powerful cutting and piercing performance with a striking look along with the two-tone satin and Battleworn blade finish. Deployment via the double action automatic mechanism is fast, smooth, and reliable. Press the G10 thumb slide up to open and down to close.

Handle: Black anodized aluminum 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. Markings and serial number are on the spine for a clean look along with the back mounted hardware. At the pommel are an integral lanyard hole and hardened steel glass breaker inset.

Carries via a right hand, tip-down, stainless steel deep carry 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.
