Heretic Wraith V4 Automatic Knife, Tanto Edge, Battleworn Finish, Made in USA (H100-5A)

The Return of an Award-Winning Platform

It’s been far too long since the Wraith has seen a proper release, and Heretic is officially changing that with the Wraith V4 Tanto Auto in a battleworn configuration. This knife marks the return of one of the most talked-about designs in modern automatic knives.

After winning Knife of the Year at Blade Show, demand for the Wraith surged and production struggled to keep pace. Heretic has spent the past year reopening the pipeline and stabilizing production, and this release is the official signal that the Wraith is back, with more consistency coming throughout the year.

This V4 features a Tanto Edge blade finished in a rugged battleworn treatment, giving it a hard-use, no-nonsense appearance that pairs perfectly with the Wraith’s aggressive profile.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply

The Wraith is one of those knives that immediately feels different in hand. The action is fast, the ergonomics are locked in, and the design has real presence. This battleworn Tanto version feels like a proper reintroduction, not just a filler release. If you’ve been waiting for the Wraith to come back, this is the one to grab.

Why You’ll Want It

The Wraith V4 represents more than just a restock. It’s the restart of a platform that helped define Heretic’s lineup and pushed modern automatic knives forward. Supporting knives like this helps keep advanced manufacturing, skilled labor, and innovation right here in the United States. If you want more knives like the Wraith being made domestically, the best way to ensure that is to support the ones being built today.
