Heretic Knives Pariah Prototype Two-Tone Black Elmax Dual Action Liner Lock Automatic H048-10A-PROTO

Heretic Knives Pariah is a large tactical folding knife with a deliberate design and innovative operation that make it unlikely to be cast out. A broad harpoon blade handles cutting tasks large and small while the durable aluminum handle is comfortable, secure and lightweight. A liner lock keeps things secure, and dual operation deployment gives you the option for speed and control with manual or automatic deployment. The choice is yours. This prototype version comes with a two-tone black Elmax blade, black aluminum handles and flamed titanium pivot collars and clip. Marked "#14" and "Prototype" with a signed box.

Brand new, direct from Heretic Knives, USA.

Blade: A tall, Elmax harpoon blade is equipped with a high saber grind and top swedge for solid performance and durability. The plain cutting edge delivers clean slicing, while the two-tone finish with satin flats and durable, black DLC coating on the grinds provides style that will stand up to the test of time. The Pariah has a smooth bearing pivot for fast action and offers dual operation: manually deploy the blade with the splined dual thumb studs or use the checkered button for strong coil spring automatic deployment.

Handle: Two thick slabs of black anodized aluminum form a tough, lightweight handle that is ergonomic and secure in the hand. The edges are chamfered for comfort with strategic jimping and black traction insert for a solid, secure grip and a distal taper that lends balance and style to the large tactical design. The custom pivot hardware echos the splined design of the thumb studs and is highlighted by flamed titanium pivot collars. An inset stainless steel liner lock offers smooth operation and secure lockup for safe use. Construction is completed with black Torx hardware on the back and a generous lanyard hole.

Carries via a right hand, tip-up, flamed titanium roller ball 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.
