Heretic Hydra V4 Tanto MagnaCut - Toxic Green UV Negative Cel Shading

MagnaCut Button Lock with Aluminum Handles

The Heretic Hydra V4 is a high-performance OTF knife that blends artistic expression with functional design. This isn't just another tactical OTF - it's a 9.125" canvas showcasing what happens when knife engineering meets artistic expression. The 3.625" tanto blade in MagnaCut steel serves as the foundation for hand-painted Cerakote. The cel shading treatment extends across the entire aluminum chassis, creating a three-dimensional effect that makes flat surfaces appear layered and dynamic.

Blade

The 3.625" tanto blade uses MagnaCut steel at 0.155" thick. MagnaCut is a premium powder metallurgy stainless steel designed for edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The tanto blade style features a high point acuity for piercing tasks and a strong tip for hard use. The Cerakote and hand-painted finish adds corrosion resistance and visual appeal.

Handle

The aluminum handles feature a hand-painted Cerakote cel shading treatment, creating a three-dimensional effect. This painstaking hand-painted finish requires multiple Cerakote applications and precise masking to achieve the signature look that's become synonymous with Heretic's limited editions.

Performance

The Hydra V4 delivers serious performance through its refined OTF mechanism - smooth double-action operation that deploys and retracts with authority. At 5.32 ounces, this substantial piece includes all the tactical features Heretic is known for: glass breaker, pocket clip, and robust construction that ensures this art piece can still work when called upon.
