High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Heretic Knives Kobold is a purpose-built 6 inch overall fixed blade designed for serious everyday utility in a compact, hard-working platform. This isn’t a novelty piece or a scaled-down afterthought. It’s a true bowie built with premium materials and the kind of attention to detail that defines Heretic’s craftsmanship.
At the heart of the Kobold is a full-tang CPM MagnaCut blade, delivering outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The bowie profile offers a strong, controllable point paired with a sweeping edge that handles slicing, piercing, and general utility tasks with confidence. With approximately a 2.75 inch blade length, it strikes the right balance between carry-friendly size and real cutting capability. The Battleworn finish adds rugged character while helping conceal wear from hard use, giving the knife a seasoned, field-ready look straight from the start.
The black G-10 handles are built for durability and grip security. G-10 is lightweight, incredibly strong, and resistant to the elements, making it ideal for a fixed blade that may see outdoor or daily carry use. The textured scales provide a solid purchase in hand without being overly aggressive, and the ergonomic contouring supports comfortable, controlled cutting over extended periods.
A quality sheath keeps the Kobold secure and accessible, allowing you to carry it with confidence whether you’re in the field, at work, or adding it to a serious collection. Every line and material choice reflects a knife designed to perform, not just to look the part.
