Handmade fixed blades remain the backbone of our operation and the standard by which all other AUX MFG products are measured. Each knife begins as raw American steel and is transformed through hours of meticulous handwork – from blank through hand wrapping each handle to final edge geometry – while maintaining the exacting standards that have made AUX MFG a name synonymous with reliability. When you hold an AUX fixed blade, you’re not just holding a knife; you’re holding a piece of American manufacturing heritage that proves the best tools are still made by craftsmen who take pride in their work and stand behind every piece that leaves the shop.

We’ve taken everything you love about our signature pocket bowie and reimagined it across four distinct offerings. From budget-conscious warriors ready for daily punishment to premium titanium masterpieces that redefine what a folding knife can be, the Deadhead Series delivers uncompromising quality at every price point.

Partnering with Miguron Knives – one of China’s most respected OEM manufacturers – allows us to deliver the precision and consistency that our customers demand. Their state-of-the-art CNC machining and grinding capabilities ensure every Deadhead Series knife meets the exacting standards that the Auxiliary Manufacturing name represents.

A drop point style blade with an agressive swedge designed specifically for everyday carry and self defense applications.

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.

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.
