High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Heretic Medusa Manual Folder Tanto Negative Cel Shading Toxic Green UV Reactive is built for those who want serious performance wrapped in a bold, unmistakable visual identity. This manual folding knife blends precision machining, premium materials, and Heretic Knives’ signature attention to detail into a piece that’s equally capable as an everyday carry or a standout collectible.
At the core is a 3.25 inch tanto blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, chosen for its outstanding balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The green and black blade finish adds a subdued contrast that reinforces the Medusa’s aggressive profile, while the tanto geometry delivers a reinforced tip ideal for hard use and controlled piercing. Deployment is fast and confident thanks to a dual opening system that includes both a flipper tab and a thumb hole, allowing smooth, reliable action in a variety of situations.
What truly sets this Medusa apart is its hand-applied Negative Cel Shade Toxic Green Cerakote finish. Inspired by comic book and graphic novel art, the blade and handle feature bold, contrasting lines that create an animated, cel-shaded appearance. Under UV light, the toxic green finish reacts dramatically, giving the knife an entirely different presence that’s impossible to ignore. Each example carries subtle variations from the hand-applied process, ensuring no two are exactly alike.
The aluminum handle is lightweight yet solid in hand, enhanced with black traction inlays that improve grip without adding bulk. At 4.50 inches closed and 7.50 inches overall, the Medusa offers a comfortable, balanced feel that carries securely in the pocket. The frame lock provides dependable lockup, while the tip-up, right-hand pocket clip keeps the knife positioned for quick access. Weighing in at 6.50 ounces, it feels substantial without being cumbersome.
Proudly made in the USA, the Heretic Medusa Manual Folder is a confident blend of cutting-edge steel, rugged construction, and bold visual design. It’s a knife that performs when pushed and stands out when seen.
