Heretic Knives Medusa Tanto Black Cerakote Elmax Blue Aluminum Automatic Knife H011-4A-BLU

Robust and compact, the Heretic Medusa makes a great tactical everyday carry folder thanks to superb design, build, and materials. A simple, rock solid button lock mechanism activates a snappy coil spring mechanism for decisive and fast deployment, while the straight forward, ergonomically designed handle delivers a secure grip for utility or martial use. This version comes with a black Cerakote coated Elmax Tanto blade and blue hard anodized aluminum handles with traction inserts and black hardware.

Brand new, direct from Heretic Knives.

Blade: Ground with a high saber and top swedge for solid performance and durability the Elmax Tanto blade has a clean slicing plain cutting-edge and snappy coil spring automatic deployment. Jimping on the spine helps with indexing and traction. The durable black Cerakote coating resists wear, enhances corrosion resistance and is non-reflective.

Handle: Two thick slabs of lightweight and durable hard anodized aluminum form the handle. The edges are chamfered for comfort with strategic jimping and black traction inserts for a solid, secure grip. A partial back spacer protects the edge when closed and extends from the pommel for use as an impact tool and lanyard attachment point. Checked for traction, the button lock mechanism is simple and secure with solid lockup. Black Torx hardware, back spacer and clip round out the construction.

Carries via a right hand milled titanium roller ball 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.
