The Auxiliary Manufacturing Karl Jr Fixed Blade 14C28N/Green Micarta brings proven tactical design into a compact package built for everyday carry. Developed in collaboration with a Chicago police officer, the original Karl was created to fill a genuine gap in duty-knife options. Its rugged construction and grip-focused design earned recognition at Blade Show West 2022, where it won Best Custom Tactical. Now, the Karl Jr carries that same design philosophy into a smaller, more manageable format.
The 3-inch blade is crafted from 14C28N stainless steel, delivering dependable cutting performance, corrosion resistance, and excellent edge retention. With a 0.12-inch blade thickness, it balances strength and practical utility without adding unnecessary bulk. The 7-inch overall length provides a capable cutting tool in a compact fixed-blade configuration that's easy to keep close at hand.
Green Micarta handle scales provide a rugged, utilitarian appearance while offering a textured surface designed to support a secure grip under demanding conditions. Whether you're handling everyday cutting chores, preparing for outdoor activities, or adding a dependable fixed blade to your gear, the Karl Jr is built to deliver practical performance.
A Kydex sheath with a clamshell-style clip provides convenient carry and ready access when it's time to put the knife to work. With its compact dimensions, durable materials, and proven design heritage, the Karl Jr delivers serious utility without unnecessary complexity.
