HERETIC KNIVES | MEDUSA MANUAL | TANTO | GRAY | CEL SHADING | H009-CS-GRY

The Heretic Knives Cel Shaded Medusa Manual | Tanto | GRAY | H009-CS-GRY is a distinctive and overbuilt manual folding knife that stands out with its unique aesthetic and robust construction, proudly made in the USA. This variant of the Medusa model features a 3.25-inch Tanto blade, a strong and versatile blade shape well-suited for piercing and utility tasks. The blade is crafted from premium CPM-MagnaCut stainless steel, a high-performance alloy known for its exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, heat-treated to a hardness of 63-65 HRC. The blade has a flat grind and a plain edge, finished with a striking Cel Shade Gray coating, a hand-painted process using Cerakote and a clear coat that gives the knife a unique, almost comic-book-like appearance. With a substantial blade thickness of 0.20 inches, this knife is built for durability. The handle is made from robust Aluminum with a matching Cel Shade Gray finish and often includes black traction inserts for enhanced grip. The handle has a thickness of 0.63 inches and a closed length of 4.5 inches. The knife opens smoothly and quickly via a flipper tab, typically riding on GTC Race Bearings, and locks securely with a sturdy Frame Lock mechanism. When open, the overall length is 7.6 inches. Weighing 4.8 ounces, it offers a solid feel without being excessively heavy for everyday carry. It includes a pocket clip configured for tip-up, right-hand carry.
