Product Description

The Heretic Knives Manticore S OTF H0256ABLUCF is a compact out-the-front automatic built around a 2.60-inch black-coated CPM MagnaCut blade, set in a blue aluminum handle accented with blue-black carbon fiber, Heretic's proven push-button OTF platform in a distinctive color and material pairing.

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 black finish on this blade is a coated treatment over the CPM MagnaCut steel, chosen for a low-glare, tactical look, coated blades trade a small amount of long-term corrosion resistance at wear points for reduced visual signature.

Carbon fiber handle accents are prized for being extremely light relative to their strength and for the distinctive woven-fiber look, on this Manticore S the carbon fiber is finished in a blue-black colorway and paired with a blue aluminum frame rather than used as the sole handle material.

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.
