Heretic Pariah
The Heretic Pariah is a full-size hard-use folder with a 3.77" CPM MagnaCut drop point blade, a scalloped spine and grip tape inlays. It launched in 2021 as a dual action, switched to a button lock in 2023, and got a slimmer handle in 2025. It's available as an out-the-side auto or a manual you open by button or thumb hole, with 6061-T6 aluminum, camo carbon or G10 handles.
The Mini Pariah packs the same idea into a lighter package: a 3.36" MagnaCut blade in clip point or tanto, standard or serrated, in a molded polymer handle with Heretic's Gator Grip texture. It weighs 3.2 oz in manual form. Look for the Duck Camo Mini Pariah, the Black Tactical Edition and Secret Cel Shade Pariahs.
