Who designed the Pro-Tech Mordax?

The Mordax was designed by Ferrum Forge Knife Works in collaboration with Pro-Tech Knives. Ferrum Forge is a Virginia-based design studio known for producing designs that combine refined aesthetics with hard-use geometry — the Mordax brings that design language to Pro-Tech's Placentia, California manufacturing.

What is the ball bearing pivot on the Mordax and why does it matter?

The ball bearing pivot uses a race of small steel balls between the blade and handle to reduce rotational friction during deployment. Compared to standard washers, ball bearings deliver a smoother, faster deployment stroke that stays consistent over the life of the knife without requiring adjustment.

What steel is the Pro-Tech Mordax MX103-LTD RED made from?

The Mordax MX103-LTD RED uses CPM-MagnaCut with a DLC black finish — one of the strongest all-around performance steels available in a production folder, balancing edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance.

What makes the solid red limited edition different from standard Mordax production?

The MX103-LTD RED runs a solid red smooth aluminum handle with a genuine black lip pearl inlay in the button release and DLC black blade finish — a colorway combination not available in the standard Mordax production lineup.

Product Description

The Heretic Knives Jinn Manual H213-6A-T is exactly what Heretic describes it as: a great little EDC piece at a fantastic price point. CPM MagnaCut in a 3.00" Wharncliffe with a DLC Black Battleworn finish, hollow grind, Button Lock, ambidextrous clip, and black aluminum handle. 1.7 oz. Made in the USA. If you want Heretic quality in a daily driver that doesn't demand collector-tier money, this is the one.

The blade is ground from CPM MagnaCut — Crucible's particle metallurgy stainless steel engineered by Dr. Larrin Thomas to deliver edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance simultaneously. At 0.088" thick with a hollow grind, this is a slicing-optimized blade geometry — the hollow grind removes material behind the edge to create a thin, aggressive cutting profile that performs well on all the tasks a Wharncliffe EDC encounters daily. The DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) Black Battleworn finish adds a surface treatment that is harder than standard coatings, non-reflective, and resistant to the wear and corrosion that compromise blades in daily carry conditions. The Battleworn treatment adds a deliberate distressed character that distinguishes this from a standard matte black DLC.

The Wharncliffe profile — straight spine, straight edge, controlled tip — excels at slicing and pull-cutting tasks where the full straight edge stays engaged through the cutting stroke. On a 3.00" EDC blade, the Wharncliffe is a precise, purposeful geometry for the box-opening, food-prep, and detail-cutting tasks that define daily carry use. The black aluminum handle is smooth-finished at 0.382" thin and 3.75" closed — a slim, discreet package that carries with the Button Lock providing secure closure. Ambidextrous tip-up clip for left or right carry. Made in USA by Heretic Knives.

Heretic Jinn Manual H213-6A-T: Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Heretic Jinn Manual DLC Black Wharncliffe, answered by the Knifeworks team.

What steel is the Heretic Jinn Manual H213-6A-T made from?

The Jinn Manual H213-6A-T uses CPM MagnaCut — Crucible’s particle metallurgy stainless steel developed by Dr. Larrin Thomas to deliver edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance simultaneously. At 0.088” thick with a hollow grind, the blade is optimized for slicing performance in a daily carry format. The DLC Black Battleworn finish adds a Diamond-Like Carbon coating that is harder than standard coatings, non-reflective, and resistant to the wear that compromises blades in daily carry conditions — with a Battleworn treatment that gives it a deliberate distressed character.

What is a Wharncliffe blade, and why does it work well for EDC?

A Wharncliffe blade has a straight spine running parallel to the handle, with the edge curving up to meet the spine in a controlled, relatively fine tip. Unlike a drop point where the spine curves down toward the tip, the Wharncliffe keeps the spine level and delivers the edge in a straight, predictable line through the full cutting stroke. This makes the Wharncliffe particularly effective for slicing, pull-cutting, and precision tip work — tasks that define everyday carry use like opening boxes, cutting food, breaking down packages, and detail cuts where a curved edge would be less controlled. On a 3.00” manual folder at 1.7 oz, the Wharncliffe is a precise, purposeful EDC geometry.

What is DLC Battleworn, and how does it differ from standard DLC?

DLC stands for Diamond-Like Carbon — a coating applied through a physical vapor deposition process that bonds to the blade surface at the molecular level. DLC is significantly harder than standard paint or chemical coatings, non-reflective, and resistant to wear and corrosion. The Battleworn treatment on the H213-6A-T is an additional finishing step applied over or alongside the DLC that creates a deliberate distressed surface character — areas of varying sheen and texture that give the blade a worn, tactical aesthetic rather than a uniform flat black appearance. The Battleworn look distinguishes this from a standard matte DLC finish without compromising the DLC’s protective properties.

How does the Button Lock work on a manual folder like the Jinn Manual?

On the Heretic Jinn Manual, the Button Lock secures the blade in the open position after you deploy it manually. The blade is opened by hand — using the thumb stud, flipper tab, or wrist flick depending on the specific Jinn variant — and the Button Lock engages automatically when the blade reaches full open, holding it securely in place. To close, you press the button to release the lock and fold the blade back into the handle. The Button Lock on a manual knife is a lockup mechanism, not a deployment mechanism — it provides secure open lockup comparable to a liner lock or frame lock but with the tactile simplicity of a side button release.

Is the Heretic Jinn Manual H213-6A-T ambidextrous?

Yes — the H213-6A-T features a tip-up pocket clip that is reversible for left or right carry without modification. This makes it one of the more genuinely ambidextrous production EDC folders at this price point. At 1.7 oz and 3.75” closed, it carries equally well in either front pocket regardless of which hand is dominant.

What are the full dimensions and weight of the Heretic Jinn Manual H213-6A-T?

Blade length: 3.00 in. Blade thickness: 0.088 in. Overall open: 6.75 in. Closed length: 3.75 in. Handle thickness: 0.382 in. Weight: 1.7 oz.
