Heretic Knives Hydra V4 Custom OTF Automatic Knife Carbon Fiber Handle 3.6 Inch Vegas Forge Reptilian Damascus Tanto DLC Blade Serial #018

When it comes to high-end automatic knives, few pieces command attention like a custom Hydra. This Heretic Knives Hydra V4 Custom blends aggressive performance with elite materials, delivering a rare combination of collectible craftsmanship and real-world capability.

At the heart of this build is a 3.6 inch hand-ground tanto blade forged from DLC-coated Vegas Forge Reptilian Damascus. The layered pattern gives each blade a unique visual signature, while the DLC finish adds durability and a stealthy, battle-ready look. Paired with a lightweight carbon fiber handle and DLC hardware, this knife feels incredibly refined in hand without sacrificing strength.

The updated Hydra V4 platform introduces a more functional handle design, improved charging system, and a refined hidden push button mechanism. Deployment is fast, forceful, and authoritative, launching the blade with serious speed and presence. Despite its size and power, this knife remains surprisingly lightweight and well-balanced for everyday carry.

This specific piece is Serial Number 018, making it especially desirable for collectors looking to secure a low-number custom configuration. It’s not just a knife- it’s a statement piece built to stand out in any collection or rotation.
