In 2022, Auxiliary Manufacturing (AUX MFG) took home the Best Custom Tactical Knife award at Blade Show West for the Karl, a full sized duty fixed blade developed alongside a member of the Chicago PD. The Karl Jr Deadhead Fixed is the smaller production version of that award-winning design. Retaining the same purposeful design and bird's beak handle, trimmed down into a carry-friendly package that works as hard as its predecessor. A 2.99” 14C28N drop point brings Swedish steel reliability and a well-balanced feel to a fixed blade compact enough for the pocket. Paired with a Kydex 'taco' sheath for vertical/horizontal belt carry, the Karl Jr is AUX MFG pedigree in a package you will actually reach for every day.
