Automatic Knives Descriptions

Gerber Propel

Durable, fast to deploy, and rugged. This knife is a one-hand opening workhorse with a S30v tanto blade that can cut through anything; the black oxide coating and G-10 handle minimize slip to keep you safe in critical conditions.

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.
