Auxiliary Manufacturing Deadhead Bowie Framelock Folding Knife DLC M390/Black Carbon Fiber and Titanium AUX-002BK

The Auxiliary Manufacturing Deadhead Bowie Framelock Folding Knife blends classic Bowie influence with modern materials and precision construction. Built for dependable everyday carry, it features a 2.75" M390 stainless steel clip point blade. M390 is widely respected for its exceptional edge retention, strong corrosion resistance, and impressive durability, making it a premium steel choice for hard-working folding knives. The blade is finished with a black DLC coating, a diamond-like carbon treatment that increases surface hardness while reducing glare and wear, giving the knife a stealthy, battle-ready appearance.

The clip point blade profile delivers versatile cutting performance. Its sweeping edge handles slicing tasks with ease, while the pronounced tip provides excellent control for piercing and detailed work. It’s a blade shape with a long legacy of reliability, and in this compact form it becomes an ideal everyday carry tool capable of tackling a wide range of tasks.

Deployment is fast and satisfying thanks to the integrated blade flipper. The action feels crisp and responsive, allowing the blade to swing open smoothly and lock into place with confidence. The framelock mechanism provides secure lockup and dependable strength, making it well-suited for demanding use while maintaining a slim, streamlined profile.

The handle combines black titanium construction with a black shredded carbon fiber inlay, creating a design that’s both rugged and refined. Titanium keeps the knife lightweight yet extremely strong, while the carbon fiber inlay adds depth and visual texture. The shredded pattern catches light subtly, giving the handle a distinctive character without sacrificing durability. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip ensures secure, convenient carry whether you’re right- or left-handed.

At 3.75" closed and weighing just 3.32oz, the Deadhead Bowie framelock carries comfortably while still providing a solid feel in hand. It’s compact enough for daily pocket carry yet built with materials and craftsmanship that place it firmly in the premium category.
