Integral Engineering Meets Material Mastery

Heretic Wraith TE-A - Unidirectional Carbon Fiber - Jade G-10 Bolster - Black Hardware - Black Blade

The Wraith TE-A (Tanto Edge Automatic) showcases what happens when integral construction meets premium materials. That unidirectional carbon fiber isn't just for show - it's milled from a single piece to create the entire chassis, delivering strength-to-weight ratios that aluminum can't touch. The jade G-10 bolster provides visual contrast while housing the auto mechanism, creating a two-material design that's both functional and striking.

This tanto configuration brings American tanto geometry to Heretic's flagship platform - that secondary edge angle creates incredible tip strength for penetration tasks while maintaining a long straight edge for draw cuts. The black-coated Elmax blade disappears into shadow while delivering vanadium carbide cutting performance with chromium's corrosion resistance. At 60-61 HRC, this holds working edges through extended use.

The caged race bearings that made the Wraith famous deliver deployment so smooth it feels hydraulic, while the enlarged rectangular button with aggressive texturing ensures positive engagement even with gloves. The integral construction means no handle flex, no pivot play developing over time - just solid lockup that stays tight. That distinctive single-prong ball bearing pocket clip provides secure retention without shredding your pocket.

At 8.695" overall, this is a substantial folder for users who need reach. The ridged spine and scalloped handle profile provide natural indexing points, while the integrated lanyard hole adds retention options. Every Wraith gets hand-ground edges and hand-tuning before shipping - typical of Heretic's approach where small-batch production means actual quality control, not assembly line shortcuts.
