Heretic Manticore X OTF Automatic Knife DLC Elmax Recurve/Purple CamoCarbon H033-6A-PUCF

The Heretic Manticore X OTF Automatic Knife in DLC Elmax Recurve and Purple CamoCarbon delivers uncompromising performance wrapped in striking design. Built for hard use, this American-made out-the-front automatic deploys with authority using a smooth thumb-slide mechanism that ensures fast, one-handed blade action when every second counts. The 3.65" recurve blade is crafted from premium Elmax steel and finished with a black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating for superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and a tactical, non-reflective look. The recurve profile boosts slicing power and precision control—ideal for both field tasks and defensive roles.

The chassis blends strength with style. The front handle features black textured aluminum for a secure grip under pressure, while the rear scale showcases a bold purple and black camo carbon fiber inlay—lightweight, rigid, and visually arresting. This pairing not only makes the Manticore X feel solid in the hand but also sets it apart from typical tactical folders. At just 4.5 ounces and 5.5" closed, it’s remarkably easy to carry without sacrificing presence.

A titanium pocket clip with a ceramic glider ball ensures smooth, secure retention whether clipped to gear or riding in the pocket. A rear lanyard hole adds versatility for carry and quick access. The Manticore X is engineered for those who demand reliability in the harshest conditions, without giving up bold aesthetics.

Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the world’s best online knife store, is also the world’s largest—and a Tennessee landmark. In the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, more than 1.5 million visitors each year walk through SMKW’s legendary showroom, where the knife world comes to life.

The Heretic Manticore X has a DLC-coated Elmax recurve blade and bold purple camo carbon fiber over black aluminum handles for style-backed tactical power.
