CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt to perform and built to last, the Heretic Medusa Auto Recurve in Red and Black G-10 is a high-performance out-the-side automatic that brings bold design, tough materials, and precision action together in one compact, battle-ready package. With aggressive lines, a solid grip, and made-in-the-USA craftsmanship, this knife is built for those who demand reliability and hard-use function from their everyday gear.
The Medusa features a 3.05" CPM Magnacut recurve tanto blade, combining top-tier steel with a shape that’s made to cut deep and hold its edge through the worst. The black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) finish adds an extra layer of protection against wear and corrosion while giving the blade a stealthy, low-reflection look that fits right in with tactical or field environments. The recurve edge adds slicing power, while the tanto tip brings durability and piercing strength.
The red and black layered G-10 handle scales are machined for a grippy, contoured fit that locks into your hand without hotspots. G-10 is a proven material—lightweight, weather-resistant, and durable under pressure. Paired with the button lock mechanism and Heretic’s fast-firing automatic action, the Medusa deploys smoothly with a clean push of the button and locks up solid with authority.
At 4.625" closed and 7.625" overall, this knife strikes the right balance of carry comfort and blade length. Weighing 4.59 ounces, it’s hefty enough to feel solid without dragging down your pocket. The tip-up pocket clip is set up for right-hand carry only, making it easy to access and deploy on the fly when seconds count.
Proudly made in the USA, the Heretic Medusa Auto reflects a commitment to quality machining, hand-assembled precision, and premium materials. Whether you're on duty, in the field, or just want a reliable automatic for everyday use, the Medusa is built to serve with zero compromises. Order it today from SMKW!
