Releasing Tuesday, September 8, 2026 at 12:00 PM Eastern. This is the first retail launch of the Martyr.
The Martyr is an all-new Heretic manual folder that revives a classic Heretic name on a completely new design. It takes cues from the Heretic classics but comes in thinner and lighter, with a 3.5 inch MagnaCut tanto blade and a glass-packed polymer chassis. This is the stonewash blade on a black chassis.

A New Take on a Classic Name
Heretic brought back the Martyr name for a design that is not a rework of an old model. It borrows the look of the Heretic classics but is built as a light, thin everyday carry. At 8.4 inches overall it runs a little longer than you might expect, while staying easy to carry.
MagnaCut Tanto Blade
The 3.5 inch blade is CPM MagnaCut, the steel Heretic uses across most of its lineup. It holds an edge and resists corrosion well, and it handles daily cutting without much fuss. The tanto shape gives you a strong tip for harder tasks. This version comes with a stonewash finish that hides wear.
Lightweight Polymer Chassis
The chassis is a glass-packed polymer, which is what brings the weight down to 3.8 ounces. Heretic kept all-stainless internal hardware inside for strength and rigidity, so the light weight does not come at the cost of a solid feel. The button lock action is smooth, and an ambidextrous single-point clip handles carry on either side.
Made in the USA
Heretic Knives builds the Martyr in Sebastian, Florida, and backs it with a lifetime warranty. American shops turning out new designs at this price is a big part of why we carry what we do, and supporting the companies doing it is how we get more of it.
Why This One Stands Out
This is the first retail run of the Martyr. You are getting a brand-new Heretic manual in MagnaCut at a light 3.8 ounces, made in the USA, and priced to move.
