Product Description
Offering the same features of the larger cohorts in the Manticore® series, the Manticore® S is the smallest in the Manticore® lineup. A double action out-the-front, the blade can be deployed and retracted with one hand. The knife’s smooth action starts with a stepped thumb slide so you can fire the blade with confidence. Elegant sweeping lines and jimping down the length of the handle add depth to an otherwise smooth body. A hardened steel glass breaker rounds out the handle.

I received this as a gift to add to my collection. I have to say, construction is at least on par with the Microtech Ultratech OTF. What makes this even better though is the deployment/retraction switch. It’s much, much easier to use. Fit and finish are top notch and there is absolutely no wiggle in the blade. This has become my new EDC. It’s an absolute pleasure to use.

The Manticore S has truly revolutionized my perception of double-action out-the-front knives. Despite being the smallest member of the Manticore series, it packs a colossal punch and exudes the same exceptional features as larger models. The one-handed operation is a showstopper – the blade deploys and retracts with an ease that is nothing short of seamless.
The stepped thumb slide is a masterstroke of design, lending unwavering confidence every time the blade fires. The elegance of the knife is enhanced by its sweeping lines and the subtle jimping along the handle – a perfect blend of form and function. The hardened steel glass breaker is the cherry on top, further amplifying the Manticore S’s utility.
The blade material, CPM Magnacut, is remarkably resilient and the finish options are vast, catering to all aesthetic preferences. But the real star is the handle. Crafted from aluminum, it is lightweight yet robust, with a variety of color options that can match any style or mood. Weighing in at just 1.70 oz, the Manticore S is an ultra-portable companion that doesn’t skimp on performance.
In a nutshell, the Manticore S is a compact, feature-rich knife that marries style and substance beautifully. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a casual user, it’s an investment you won’t regret. This knife isn’t just a tool – it’s a statement.

The best small OTF knife I have seen to date. I have had several OTF knifes and the issue I seem to find is when they get a blade blow 3” most manufacturers tend to have really thin blades however the Manticore S with a Bowie blade not only has a nice thick girth to the blade but it is actually usable for real life use. And on top of all that the bearings on the slider makes flicking the knife easy and very satisfying. In other words if you got another OTF in this size it wouldn’t be as good as a Hereric. #ManticoreLife
