Product Description
The Heretic Knives Manticore E OTF (H029F-16A-GOLD) pairs a gold-finished blade with a black aluminum handle for a two-tone look on Heretic's mid-size out-the-front automatic. The 3.12" recurve blade is cut from CPM MagnaCut, run out the front of the handle at the push of a button.
CPM MagnaCut holds a working edge through daily carry and hard use with corrosion resistance and toughness that outpaces older stainless choices like D2 or 154CM. The recurve grind adds extra belly along the edge, which helps on slicing tasks like rope, cardboard, or cordage where a straight edge loses efficiency partway through the cut. The gold finish sits over that same CPM MagnaCut blade, so the performance doesn't change, just the look.
The Manticore E is built by Heretic Knives, a maker known for tight-tolerance, smooth-actuating OTF mechanisms. The black aluminum handle keeps the overall look understated while the gold blade stands out on the draw.
Knifeworks ships same or next business day from Columbia, Louisiana, so this Manticore E OTF is ready to head to your door fast.
