Heretic Manticore S OTF Automatic Knife Grenade Grip Cel-Shaded Yellow Magnacut Tanto H023F-CS-YW

The Heretic Knives Manticore-S delivers compact, hard-hitting performance in a streamlined out-the-front automatic package. Built in the USA and designed for speed, reliability, and control, this small-frame OTF features a 2.625" tanto blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel—one of the most advanced alloys available. MagnaCut balances edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance for a blade you can depend on in daily carry or demanding field use.

This variant sports Heretic’s vivid Yellow Cel-Shade blade finish—a striking look that turns heads while maintaining the brand’s aggressive aesthetic. The dual-action deployment is powered by a smooth thumb slide mechanism, snapping the blade open and closed with confident precision. The 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum handle has a grenade-style texture milled into the surface, giving you a secure grip even in wet or gloved conditions. The bright yellow anodizing isn’t just eye-catching—it’s tough, wear-resistant, and easy to locate when it matters most.

Rounding out the build are a hardened steel glass breaker, deep-carry pocket clip for discreet and secure carry, and a lanyard hole for additional options. Like every Heretic knife, the Manticore-S is engineered and finished in their Florida facility with meticulous attention to detail and top-tier materials.
