Product Description

The Heretic Knives Pariah Auto H048-2A pairs a 3.75-inch CPM MagnaCut blade with a black aluminum handle, bringing Heretic's push-button automatic mechanism to the Pariah platform in a clean, understated colorway.

CPM MagnaCut is Crucible's stainless steel engineered specifically for knife blades by metallurgist Larrin Thomas, rather than optimizing for one property, MagnaCut is formulated to deliver strong edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness simultaneously, closing the gap that usually forces a tradeoff between the three. Its balanced carbide structure keeps it easier to sharpen than extreme high-vanadium steels like CPM-S90V, while still outperforming older workhorse stainless steels like D2, 154CM, and CPM-S30V on corrosion resistance and edge stability.

The black aluminum handle is a plain anodized finish on the Pariah platform, giving the knife a clean, understated look distinct from Heretic's Secret Cel Shade or Election Edition configurations.

The automatic mechanism deploys the blade at the push of a button, Heretic's automatics typically use an out-the-front (OTF) design, though this should be confirmed for the Pariah platform specifically.
