Functional art you can carry.

The Cotton Candy Wraith introduces Heretic’s newest Cel Shade finish to the Wraith platform, and it immediately transforms the knife into something far beyond a typical production folder.

Each one is completely hand-painted, giving the knife its striking Cotton Candy color palette and stylized look. No two will ever be exactly identical. This is where machining meets artistry.

Under UV light the finish becomes even more impressive. The paint is UV-reactive, creating a vivid glow that makes the design stand out in a way few knives ever do.

This is not just another colorway. It is functional art that still performs like a serious everyday carry tool.

A Huge Upgrade: The Machined Clip

This release also includes a feature many Wraith owners have been asking for since the manual models first launched: the fully machined clip.

Previous Wraith manuals used a standard stamped clip. The new machined clip is cut from solid material and finished to match the knife, giving it a stronger feel, improved durability, and a much more premium appearance.

It’s a small detail that completely changes the overall feel of the knife and elevates the entire build.

Where Craftsmanship Meets Creativity

Most knives focus purely on materials and machining. The Cotton Candy Wraith adds something different.

It blends precision manufacturing with hand-painted finishing to create a knife that feels more like a piece of modern industrial art than a typical production knife.

But underneath the vibrant finish is still the same Wraith platform built around MagnaCut steel and excellent ergonomics, making it just as capable as it is distinctive.

Supporting American Makers

We don’t always get to choose products made in the USA. Many categories simply don’t offer American-made options anymore. Pocket knives are different. There is still a thriving knife manufacturing market here.

Supporting knives like the Wraith helps keep that tradition alive.
