Innovation Meets Art

The Dredd Lock has become one of Paragon’s most recognizable designs, combining American-made craftsmanship with one of the most unique opening mechanisms in the knife industry. This Cell Shaded edition takes that innovation a step further, transforming an already distinctive knife into a true statement piece.

Inspired by the bold outlines, exaggerated contrast, and vibrant colors found in comic books and animated artwork, the Cell Shaded finish blends teal and pink tones with striking black and white accents to create a look that appears almost hand-drawn. The result is a knife that stands out immediately while maintaining the premium fit and finish enthusiasts expect from Paragon Knives.

At the heart of the Dredd Lock is a 3.875-inch CPM-S35VN double edge tanto blade. Known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, CPM-S35VN remains a favorite among knife enthusiasts seeking premium performance in a daily carry knife. The aggressive double edge tanto profile complements the futuristic design while delivering the strength and durability expected from a hard-use blade.

What truly sets the Dredd Lock apart is Paragon’s innovative gravity deployment system. Utilizing the patented Dredd Lock mechanism, the handle separates to allow smooth blade deployment unlike anything found on traditional folding knives. The action is fast, satisfying, and unmistakably Paragon.

The lightweight aluminum handle keeps the knife comfortable in the pocket while maintaining excellent strength and durability. Combined with the Cell Shaded Cerakote finish, the result is a knife that is equal parts tool, collectible, and conversation piece.

At Howling Dog EDC, we’re always drawn to products that challenge conventional design while remaining practical enough for everyday carry. The Dredd Lock delivers exactly that, pairing premium materials and American manufacturing with a finish that is impossible to ignore.

Bold design. Innovative engineering. Unmistakably Paragon.
