Heretic Knives Hydra V4 GT-40 Cell Shaded Single-Action Out-The-Front Automatic Magnacut Recurve Blade

The Heretic Knives Hydra V4 GT-40 Cell Shaded is a bold, high-performance single-action out-the-front (OTF) knife built for serious users and collectors alike. Combining Heretic’s precision engineering with an eye-catching automotive-inspired finish, this Hydra V4 delivers both aggressive styling and uncompromising functionality.

At the core is a CPM MagnaCut recurve blade, engineered for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The recurve profile enhances slicing performance while maintaining a strong, capable tip for demanding tasks. Finished in a striking GT-40-inspired cell-shaded design, this knife stands out with a unique, high-contrast aesthetic that gives it a custom, almost animated look.

As a single-action OTF, the Hydra V4 deploys with authority and locks firmly into place. Reset is done manually using the charging mechanism, reinforcing the knife’s rugged, hard-use design. The chassis is constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum, providing strength while keeping the overall weight manageable for carry.

Designed for those who appreciate mechanical precision and standout design, the Hydra V4 is as much a statement piece as it is a capable cutting tool.
