Every handle gets the VIP treatment-wrapped by hand, no shortcuts, no robots, just a little patience and a lot of stubbornness. Because if you’re gonna do it, might as well do it right

Just a regular day in the shop: a little grit, a lot of focus, and maybe a playlist blasting in the background. From Reno, Nevada, every edge gets dialed in by hand-because that’s how we do things around here. Pull up, hang out, and see what goes into keeping things sharp (besides too much coffee).
Knives made with Blood, sweat, & beers
Sometimes you just need a cold one and a little creative footwork to keep things rolling. Around here, we build knives with a lot of hard work, plenty of laughs, and maybe a mini fridge mishap or two.
Coffin | Leaf
A drop point style blade with an agressive swedge designed specifically for everyday carry and self defense applications.
Coffin | Tanto
Clean grinds and aggressive lines are what the tanto variant is all about. The compound grind and tanto profile are standout features that I personally love about this knife. The compound grind allows for the belly portion of the blade, to have a very thin concave profile. Which makes extremely slicey. While the tip end of the knife still retains a lot of thickness making it more tough and less prone to breaking during hard use.

Origin Story
Auxiliary Manufacturing is the work of me, Michael Jarvis. After 15 years of restaurant work (everything from dishwasher to executive chef), I started making various pocket tools (Pry bars!) as a hobby, and making things slowly grew on me until I eventually made the transition to knives. I left my last restaurant position as general manager, to help a sick family member. In that time my hobby had become a job and with the help of my wife, got my shop set up in Febuary 2016 and never looked back. Now I'm a self taught, full time blade smith honing my craft more with each blade.
