OTF Knives Descriptions
Heretic Knives Hydra
This custom Hydra out-the-front knife has strong push-button automatic action. It has a tumbled Uddeholm RoyAlloy stainless steel frame with copper accents and charging handle. The milled 6Al4V titanium pocket clip is tumbled and the draw bar is capped with a carbon fiber puller. The Elmax steel drop point blade is mirror polished with hollow grinds.
Kershaw Launch 6
This slim—and ever-so-slightly wicked-looking—knife features premium CPM154 blade steel. This powdered metallurgy steel offers more uniform distribution of carbides so it takes and holds an excellent edge. The Kershaw 7800 Launch 6 automatic opening pocket knife also provides good corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and toughness. Black DLC coating adds non-reflectivity and enhances performance.
