The Heretic Knives Custom Pariah Auto S/N 005 is a serial-numbered side-opening automatic built with a blued Baker Forge Elite AuroraMai blade, aircraft aluminum frame, carbon fiber inlays, a carbon fiber-inlaid firing button, and DLC hardware. It is a bold custom variation of the Pariah Auto, and the name fits the knife well. “Pariah” means outcast, and this build clearly stands apart from standard automatic folders.
The overall look is aggressive, modern, and highly collectible. However, the design still keeps the practical feel that makes Heretic Knives appealing to serious automatic knife buyers. The 8.87-inch overall length gives the knife strong hand presence. Meanwhile, the 3.75-inch harpoon-style blade provides a useful cutting profile with a dramatic custom finish.
Heretic Pariah Auto With Blued Baker Forge Elite AuroraMai Blade
The blade is the centerpiece of this Heretic Pariah Auto Custom. It features blued Baker Forge Elite AuroraMai Damascus with a striking blue finish and contrasting line movement across the blade. As a result, the blade has a visual style that feels both technical and artistic.
The harpoon blade shape adds even more presence. It gives the knife a powerful profile, while the long swedge and angular tip keep the design sharp and distinctive. In addition, the 0.17-inch blade thickness gives this automatic folder a substantial feel.
This Pariah Auto uses a single-action out-the-side automatic mechanism. Therefore, it offers fast deployment through the firing button while maintaining the familiar carry format of a folding automatic knife. The action, blade shape, and custom finish make this piece especially appealing for collectors who enjoy high-end American autos.
Aircraft Aluminum Frame With Carbon Fiber Inlays
The handle uses an aircraft aluminum frame with carbon fiber inlays. That combination keeps the knife strong, modern, and visually balanced. The aluminum frame gives the Pariah Auto a clean tactical foundation. Meanwhile, the carbon fiber inlays add depth and texture without making the design feel busy.
The carbon fiber-inlaid firing button is another important detail. It ties the control surface into the handle design and gives the knife a more complete custom presentation. In addition, the DLC hardware adds dark contrast and helps frame the blue blade and black handle treatment.
At 5.12 inches closed and 6.00 ounces, this Pariah Auto has a serious carry profile. It is not a lightweight minimalist automatic. Instead, it feels like a premium full-size Heretic custom built for collectors who appreciate strong mechanics, bold styling, and limited-production details.
Serial Number 005 Collector Appeal
This example is Serial Number 005. That low serial number adds another point of interest for Heretic Knives collectors. The included Heretic box label documents the configuration as a Pariah Auto with Blued Baker Forge Elite AuroraMai, aircraft aluminum with carbon fiber inlay, carbon fiber-inlaid button, DLC hardware, and S/N 005.
The included Heretic packaging shown further strengthens the collector presentation. The knife is shown with the original Heretic box, zippered pouch, patch, and Heretic Certificate of Badassery. Together, those items help document the configuration and preserve the full custom package.
Collectors who follow Heretic Knives will recognize this as a standout Pariah Auto build. It combines a premium Baker Forge blade, carbon fiber accents, DLC hardware, and a distinctive side-opening automatic platform. As a result, it offers both display appeal and serious mechanical character.
