Product Description
The Heretic Hydra V4 OTF H408-6A-BLU pairs a 3.625-inch CPM MagnaCut blade with a blue aluminum handle, bringing Heretic's proven push-button OTF mechanism to the Hydra platform in a clean, understated colorway.
CPM MagnaCut is Crucible's stainless steel engineered specifically for knife blades by metallurgist Larrin Thomas, rather than optimizing for one property, MagnaCut is formulated to deliver strong edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness simultaneously, closing the gap that usually forces a tradeoff between the three. Its balanced carbide structure keeps it easier to sharpen than extreme high-vanadium steels like CPM-S90V, while still outperforming older workhorse stainless steels like D2, 154CM, and CPM-S30V on corrosion resistance and edge stability.
The blue aluminum handle is a plain anodized finish on the Hydra V4 platform, giving the knife a clean, understated look distinct from Heretic's carbon fiber, camo, or Cel Shade configurations.
The out-the-front mechanism fires the blade straight out of the front of the handle at the push of a button and retracts it the same way, no manual flip, thumb stud, or disengage step required.
