Heretic Medusa Manual Folder TE DLC Standard Purple Chassis with Tactical Hardware H009-6A-PU

The Heretic Medusa Manual Folder TE DLC with Standard Purple Chassis and Tactical Hardware is a refined evolution of the acclaimed Martyr® design, engineered to deliver dependable performance and collector-level presence. Built as a manual folder, the Medusa TE balances high-end mechanics with ergonomic comfort, providing smooth, precise action in a compact, purpose-built frame. Every detail reflects thoughtful design, careful machining, and material selection, creating a knife that feels custom even in production form.

At the heart of the Medusa TE is a 3.00-inch tanto blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut steel. Known for its exceptional toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, MagnaCut ensures the blade performs under everyday use while maintaining a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) finish that offers a sleek, low-reflective surface. The tanto profile adds strength and precision to the tip, giving controlled piercing ability and a solid cutting edge. With a blade thickness of 0.16 inches, the knife achieves a confident balance of structural integrity and streamlined geometry, combining utility with a polished, professional appearance.

The handle is machined from 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum, a superior alloy selected for its strength, wear resistance, and light weight. Finished in bold purple with tactical hardware, the chassis enhances both function and aesthetics. Its contoured, curved design improves ergonomics, providing a secure, natural grip during extended use. At 4.50 inches long and 0.33 inches thick, the handle balances comfort and control, ensuring the knife sits firmly in hand without excess weight.

Deployment options are versatile and intuitive, featuring a flipper tab and thumb cutout for smooth manual opening. The bearing-guided pivot allows for fluid, precise action, while the integral frame lock offers solid blade stability. A sculpted ball-bearing pocket clip secures the knife during carry while complementing its sleek lines. Weighing 6.50 ounces, the Medusa TE has a substantial feel in hand without being cumbersome, ideal for everyday carry or display in a collection.

From its high-performance blade to its purpose-built handle, every aspect of the Medusa TE demonstrates Heretic’s commitment to mechanical excellence, ergonomic design, and distinctive visual style. The combination of premium steel, DLC finish, and thoughtfully designed purple aluminum with tactical hardware elevates this folding knife beyond standard production into a collector-grade instrument.
