Heretic Manticore S OTF Automatic Knife Grenade Grip Cel-Shaded Turquoise Magnacut Tanto H023F-CS-TQ

The Heretic Knives Manticore-S is a compact out-the-front automatic built for rapid deployment and reliable performance. Designed and manufactured in the USA, this small-frame OTF is anything but delicate. It features a 2.625" tanto blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, a premium alloy known for its exceptional edge retention, high toughness, and superior corrosion resistance. Finished in Heretic’s Cel-Shade turquoise, the blade adds a burst of bold color to match its cutting-edge capability.

A thumb slide on the side of the handle powers fast, responsive dual-action operation. The chassis is made from lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum with a rugged grenade-grip texture for enhanced control in slick or high-stress conditions. The anodized turquoise finish isn’t just for looks—it’s durable, wear-resistant, and makes this Manticore-S easy to spot when seconds count. A lanyard hole and hardened steel glass breaker add emergency readiness, while the deep-carry pocket clip ensures it rides low and secure.

Like all Heretic knives, this piece is made with precision machining and premium materials right out of their Florida facility. It’s the kind of knife you can count on, whether you’re slicing boxes, prepping rope, or relying on it as a backup tool in the field.
