Heretic Knives Medusa Tanto OTS Automatic Serrated Black DLC S35VN Carbon Fiber H011-6B-CF

Robust yet compact the Heretic Medusa makes a great tactical everyday carry folder thanks to superb design, build and materials. A simple, rock solid button lock mechanism activates a snappy coil spring mechanism for decisive and fast deployment while the straight forward, ergonomically designed handle delivers a secure grip for utility or martial use. This version comes with a partially serrated, S35VN Tanto blade with tumbled black DLC coating and carbon fiber handle scales with black traction inserts.

Brand new, direct from Heretic Knives, USA.

Blade: A tall, S35VN blade is ground with a high saber and top swedge for solid performance and durability. Aggressive serrations near the handle make short work of tough, fibrous materials while the plain forward section delivers clean slicing. Strong coil spring operation makes for lightening fast deployment at a touch of a button. Jimping on the spine helps with indexing and traction while the durable, Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating is discreetly non-reflective while hiding wear thanks to the tumbled finish.

Handle: Two thick slabs of solid carbon fiber are used for the handle scales for the ultimate in lightweight strength. The edges are chamfered for comfort with strategic jimping and black traction inserts for a solid, secure grip. A partial stainless steel back spacer protects the edge when closed and extends from the pommel for use as an impact tool and lanyard attachment point. Textured for ease of use, the button lock mechanism is simple, rugged and secure. Black coated Torx hardware rounds out the construction.

Carries via a right hand, tip-up, black stainless steel pocket clip with single point roller ball.

CPM S35VN: was designed to offer improved toughness over CPM S30V. It is also easier to machine and polish than CPM S30V. The inclusion of Niobium allows for the formation of niobium carbides along with vanadium and chromium carbides. Substituting some niobium carbides for vanadium carbides makes CPM S35VN about 15-20% tougher than CPM S30V without any loss of wear resistance. CPM S35VN’s improved toughness gives it better resistance to edge chipping.
