Heretic Medusa Manual Folder TE DLC Standard Black Tactical Chassis with Tactical Hardware H009-6A-T

Built for those who expect more from a manual folder, the Heretic Medusa Manual Folder TE is a hard-use cutting tool that blends aggressive design with refined execution. Evolved from the revered Martyr, the Medusa carries forward Heretic Knives’ commitment to strength, precision, and uncompromising performance. This Tactical Edition delivers a purpose-driven build that’s ready for demanding daily carry and serious work.

At the heart of the Medusa is a 3.00-inch tanto blade crafted from CPM Magnacut, a premium steel chosen for its outstanding balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The standard edge and angular tanto profile provide excellent piercing capability while maintaining a strong cutting edge for utility tasks. A deep black DLC finish enhances durability and reduces glare, giving the blade a stealthy appearance that matches its tactical intent. With a blade thickness of 0.16 inches, it strikes a confident balance between strength and cutting efficiency.

Deployment is smooth and decisive thanks to a bearing-guided action that can be fired open using either the flipper tab or the thumb cutout. Once open, the blade locks solidly into place with a reliable liner lock that inspires confidence under pressure. The action feels controlled and deliberate, reinforcing the Medusa’s role as a serious tool rather than a novelty piece.

The handle is built from aluminum and finished in a black tactical chassis with matching tactical hardware, delivering a clean, purposeful look while keeping weight manageable at 6.50 ounces. Sculpted ergonomics and a handle length of 4.50 inches provide a secure, comfortable grip in a wide range of conditions. The 0.33-inch handle thickness fills the hand without feeling bulky, allowing for extended use without fatigue.

A sculpted ball-bearing pocket clip keeps the Medusa riding securely in the pocket while maintaining a low-profile carry. Every detail, from the precise machining to the cohesive finish choices, reflects Heretic Knives’ focus on producing premium tools that perform as good as they look.

The Heretic Medusa Manual Folder TE is designed for users who demand durability, smooth operation, and a bold tactical presence in a dependable everyday carry. Precision-engineered, tough, and ready for action—the Heretic Medusa Manual Folder TE with DLC blade and black tactical chassis is available at SMKW.
