Product Description

The Heretic Knives Medusa Manual H010-6A-PU is a manually-opened folder with a DLC-coated CPM MagnaCut recurve blade and a purple handle, bringing a slicing-focused blade shape to the Medusa platform's manual folder format.

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 recurve grind on this Medusa adds extra belly and cutting length along the edge compared to a straight blade of the same overall length, which helps on slicing tasks like rope, cardboard, or cordage where a straight edge loses efficiency partway through the cut.

The DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating is a hard, low-friction physical vapor deposition finish applied over the CPM MagnaCut steel, DLC coatings add surface hardness and a low-glare, matte black appearance while layering additional corrosion resistance on top of the stainless substrate.

As a manual folder, this Medusa opens by hand rather than a push-button mechanism, the specific opening method (flipper tab, thumb stud, or otherwise) and lock type were not stated and should be confirmed before publishing.

• Blade: 3.25" CPM MagnaCut recurve blade, DLC coating, balanced edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness; recurve grind adds extra belly for slicing tasks over a straight edge.
