Heretic Medusa
The Heretic Knives Medusa comes in manual and automatic. They offer a variety of blade and handle finishes. Shop our current inventory.
The Heretic Medusa is a 3" folder that grew out of the Martyr platform, offered as an out-the-side auto or a manual flipper. Both use a CPM MagnaCut blade in tanto or recurve, with a tapered false edge and jimping.
The Medusa Manual uses an integral frame lock in 7075 aluminum, which Heretic says is harder than 6061-T6, or in flamed titanium on select versions. It runs on a bearing-guided pivot and has a sculpted ball-bearing clip. The Medusa Auto is a push-button lock automatic in 6061-T6 aluminum. You'll find both in DLC, stonewash, battleworn, bronze and two-tone, along with cel shade, Secret Cel Shade, Magma and custom-shop builds.
