Auxiliary Manufacturing Karl, S/E 154CM Blade, GripX Handle

Designed in collaboration with an active-duty Chicago police officer to address a crucial gap in tactical duty options, the Auxiliary Manufacturing Karl is a purpose-built, award-winning fixed blade engineered for uncompromising reliability under stress. Winner of Best Custom Tactical Knife at Blade Show West 2022, the Karl pairs lean, sleek aesthetics with hard-use durability.

Its ~4-inch drop point blade is crafted from premium AEB-L stainless steel, offering outstanding edge retention, high corrosion resistance, and high toughness to resist chipping during heavy tasks. Hand-sculpted, heavily textured handle scales ensure maximum grip retention in both forward and reverse grips—even in cold, wet, or high-friction conditions. Slim enough to carry comfortably on a belt or plate carrier, the Karl delivers maximum tactical advantage without unnecessary bulk.
