The Heretic Nyx OTF Automatic Knife is designed for users who demand dependable performance, streamlined construction, and premium materials in a compact tactical package. Built with a slim profile and an impressive blade-to-handle ratio, the Nyx delivers a full-size cutting edge without unnecessary bulk, making it an excellent choice for everyday carry. Featuring an OD green Ultem handle paired with a bronze-finished CPM MagnaCut tanto blade, this out-the-front automatic combines distinctive styling with the precision engineering and attention to detail expected from Heretic Knives.
The 3.62-inch tanto blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut steel, a premium blade material known for its outstanding balance of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. The tanto profile features a reinforced point and angular cutting geometry, providing added strength and versatility for demanding cutting tasks. Measuring 0.14 inches thick, the blade offers a substantial build while maintaining a streamlined appearance. A bronze finish gives the blade a distinctive look, creating a striking contrast against the OD green handle while adding a refined touch to its tactical styling. The standard edge provides versatile cutting performance for everyday utility and general-purpose applications.
The handle is constructed from Ultem and features an OD green finish, delivering a modern appearance with a lightweight, durable design. Measuring 5.04 inches long and 0.45 inches thick, the handle provides a comfortable grip while maintaining the Nyx's slim, easy-to-carry profile. Weighing just 3.6 ounces, this automatic offers an impressive balance of size and portability. A crisp, responsive stepped button operates the double-action OTF mechanism, allowing the blade to deploy and retract with the push and pull of the button. Designed for fast, reliable operation, the mechanism is built to withstand repeated use.
Additional features include a reversible pocket clip for convenient left- or right-handed carry and a low-profile glass breaker for added utility. Machined hardware and a notched blade spine showcase the attention to detail that sets Heretic Knives apart. These thoughtful design elements complement the Nyx's streamlined construction without compromising its practical functionality.
With an overall length of 8.66 inches, the Heretic Nyx OTF delivers premium CPM MagnaCut steel, innovative handle materials, and dependable double-action automatic performance in a lightweight package. Whether you're adding a capable automatic to your everyday carry rotation or looking for a modern tactical folder alternative, the Nyx offers an impressive combination of precision, performance, and distinctive style.
