Auxiliary Manufacturing KTK, Topography Cerakote AEB-L Kwaiken Blade, Black Wrapped Stingray Handle

The KTK (Kwaiken Type Knife) by Auxiliary Manufacturing—designed by knife maker Michael Jarvis—is a sleek, high-performance fixed-blade built for everyday carry and utility work. Taking inspiration from traditional Japanese daggers, it features a tough AEB-L stainless steel blade paired with a low-profile handle made of resin-soaked paracord wrapped over genuine stingray skin (Samegawa). This epoxied construction creates a permanent, non-slip, waterproof grip that resists wear, sweat, and fraying without adding unnecessary bulk. Complete with a custom-molded Kydex sheath for secure concealed or belt carry, the KTK delivers custom-grade American craftsmanship and maximum durability in a compact, lightweight footprint.
