Built for those who demand serious performance without unnecessary bulk, the Heretic Martyr Tanto Manual Folding Knife combines American craftsmanship, modern materials, and a rugged, purpose-driven design. Made in the USA, the Martyr delivers a dependable cutting tool with a clean, tactical-inspired profile that's equally at home in an everyday carry rotation or ready for demanding tasks.
At the heart of the Martyr is a 3.5-inch MagnaCut tanto blade with a durable stonewash finish. MagnaCut is a premium stainless steel known for its excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it a strong choice for a hard-use folding knife. The tanto profile brings a reinforced point and strong geometry to the blade, giving it a distinctive appearance while providing a capable cutting edge for a wide range of utility tasks. The stonewashed finish adds a rugged look while helping conceal the marks that naturally come with regular use.
The 4.9-inch black polymer chassis keeps the knife lightweight and comfortable in hand while maintaining the rugged character expected from Heretic Knives. With a handle thickness of 0.526 inches, the Martyr offers enough substance for a secure grip without becoming cumbersome in your pocket. At just 3.88 ounces, it's an easy knife to carry throughout the day without sacrificing useful cutting performance.
A button lock provides quick, straightforward operation and keeps the overall design clean and efficient. The Martyr also comes equipped with a reversible pocket clip configured for right- or left-handed, tip-up carry, giving you the flexibility to set up your EDC according to your preference.
With an 8.4-inch overall length and a 0.154-inch-thick blade, the Martyr strikes a solid balance between compact carry and capable performance. Its black polymer chassis, stonewashed MagnaCut tanto blade, and American-made construction give it a distinctive combination of rugged style and practical utility.
Whether you're adding it to a collection or looking for a lightweight folder that's ready to work, the Heretic Martyr brings premium blade steel, versatile carry, and no-nonsense construction together in one dependable package.
