Heretic Medusa Auto – 3″ Stonewash CPM MagnaCut Blade, Blue/Black G10 Handle – H011-2A-G10/BLU

The Heretic Medusa Auto H011-2A-G10/BLU pairs a 3-inch stonewashed CPM MagnaCut blade with a Blue/Black G10 handle, bringing a rugged material combination and a two-tone colorway to Heretic’s Medusa automatic platform.

CPM MagnaCut is Crucible’s stainless steel engineered specifically for knife blades by metallurgist Larrin Thomas, rather than optimizing for one property, MagnaCut is formulated to deliver strong edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness simultaneously, closing the gap that usually forces a tradeoff between the three. Its balanced carbide structure keeps it easier to sharpen than extreme high-vanadium steels like CPM-S90V, while still outperforming older workhorse stainless steels like D2, 154CM, and CPM-S30V on corrosion resistance and edge stability.

The stonewash finish is a tumbled, matte surface treatment that hides fingerprints and light scratches better than a polished satin finish, applied over the same CPM MagnaCut blade regardless of finish, so the look changes without changing the steel’s performance.

G10 is a fiberglass-epoxy laminate handle material valued for its light weight, durability, and secure grip texture, here finished in a Blue/Black two-tone colorway for visual contrast.

The automatic mechanism deploys the blade at the push of a button, Heretic’s automatics typically use an out-the-front (OTF) design, though this should be confirmed for the Medusa platform specifically.

• Blade: 3″ CPM MagnaCut blade, stonewash finish, balanced edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness; stonewash hides fingerprints and light scratches better than a polished satin finish.
• Handle: Blue/Black G10, a lightweight, durable fiberglass-epoxy laminate in a two-tone colorway.
• Deployment: Push-button automatic, likely out-the-front (OTF) based on the pattern of Heretic’s other automatics, not explicitly confirmed for the Medusa platform.
• Carry: 3-inch blade platform on Heretic’s Medusa line, overall length, closed length, and weight not confirmed this session, verify against hereticknives.com before publishing.
