Heretic Knives Manticore-S Bowie USN 2021 Two-Tone Battleworn Elmax OTF Automatic

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 USN Gathering 2021 show special has a two-tone Battleworn Elmax Bowie blade, black handle and toxic green G10 button.

Brand new, direct from Heretic Knives, USA.

Blade: The sleek, hollow ground, Bowie-style clip point blade combines powerful performance with handsome visual appeal including the satin grinds contrasting rugged blasted and tumbled “Battleworn” grinds. 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 on the spine deliver a clean look along with the rear mounted 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 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.
