Built around a fully modular platform and engineered for hard use, the Heretic Knives Koschei brings a fresh take on the modern manual folder. Its 3.5" CPM-MagnaCut drop point blade combines excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance with a rugged stonewash finish that’s ready for real-world use. The hollow grind gives the blade an efficient cutting profile, while the stout 0.154" blade thickness adds confidence for demanding tasks.
The Koschei’s crossbar lock delivers smooth, controlled operation with true ambidextrous capability. Riding on a bearing pivot assembly, the blade opens and closes with a fluid feel, while the folded stainless steel backspacer adds strength and a distinctive mechanical character. The 8.125" overall length provides a substantial working platform without making the knife cumbersome in hand.
Black aluminum handles keep the build lightweight, durable, and purpose-driven. At just 4.37 ounces, the Koschei carries easily while still providing a solid grip and balanced feel. A titanium pocket clip offers secure tip-up carry and can be positioned for right- or left-handed use, giving you the flexibility to configure the knife around your preferred carry style.
Designed by Anthony Marfione Jr. and proudly made in the USA, the Koschei reflects Heretic Knives' focus on precision engineering and practical versatility.
