The Heretic Knives Jinn Auto Black & White Cel Shading brings automatic opening to the sleek, refined design of the original Jinn slip joint. Featuring a 3-inch CPM MagnaCut Wharncliffe blade, a carbon fiber glow handle, and a striking black-and-white cel-shaded finish, this premium push-button automatic knife combines sophisticated styling with everyday carry functionality. Its bold, graphic-inspired appearance gives the Jinn a distinctive look while maintaining the compact profile that made the original design popular.
Originally introduced as a traditional gentleman's slip joint, the Heretic Jinn has evolved into a side-opening automatic folding knife.

The slim 0.38-inch-thick handle and lightweight 2.25-ounce construction make it a practical choice for anyone seeking a premium automatic EDC knife without unnecessary bulk.
The 3-inch Wharncliffe blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, known for its excellent combination of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Its straight cutting edge offers precise control for everyday cutting tasks, while the black-and-white cel-shaded blade finish creates a dramatic visual effect. Paired with the carbon fiber glow handle and matching cel-shaded details, the Jinn delivers a distinctive aesthetic that stands apart from traditional automatic knives.
Measuring just 6.75 inches overall and 3.75 inches closed, the Heretic Jinn Auto offers a balance of compact dimensions, premium materials, and distinctive styling.
