The Auxiliary Manufacturing Coffin Tanto Crossbar Folder STNWSH 14C28N Blue Micarta delivers a bold blend of modern design, dependable performance, and everyday carry practicality. Built as part of Auxiliary Manufacturing’s production line, the Crossbar Coffin brings a distinctive personality to the pocket while staying focused on real-world utility. With its compact footprint and strong materials, this knife is designed to handle daily cutting tasks with confidence and consistency.
At the core of the knife is a 2.77-inch tanto blade made from 14C28N stainless steel. Known for its excellent balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening, 14C28N is a proven performer for everyday use. The .12-inch blade thickness adds a solid, controlled feel behind each cut without becoming overly bulky. The tanto profile strengthens the tip for improved piercing capability and precise work, while still maintaining a practical edge geometry for slicing and general utility tasks. A stonewash finish completes the blade, helping reduce the appearance of wear while giving it a subdued, work-ready aesthetic.
The Crossbar Coffin opens via a thumb stud, offering smooth and direct manual deployment. It’s designed for quick access while maintaining reliable control during use. Once deployed, the crossbar lock mechanism secures the blade with confidence, providing strong lockup for a wide range of cutting tasks. This simple, effective design prioritizes durability and ease of use without unnecessary complexity.
The handle is crafted from blue Micarta, giving the knife a distinctive look paired with dependable grip performance. Micarta naturally improves with handling over time, developing character while maintaining traction in varied conditions. The ergonomic shape supports a secure, comfortable hold during extended use, and the coffin-inspired profile gives the knife its signature identity. Titanium liners add structural reinforcement without excessive weight, keeping the overall build both strong and balanced.
Measuring 6.53 inches overall and weighing just 2.9 ounces, this knife carries easily and disappears comfortably into the pocket. A compact closed length makes it convenient for everyday carry, while the ambidextrous pocket clip ensures versatile carry options for different users and preferences. Made in China as part of Auxiliary Manufacturing’s production lineup, the Crossbar Coffin focuses on delivering reliable performance with a clean, purposeful design.
