The Auxiliary MFG. Coffin Tanto Crossbar Folder in Grey Aluminum delivers a clean, tactical aesthetic paired with proven materials and precision machining, creating a compact everyday carry knife built for dependable performance. Designed by Auxiliary Manufacturing, this production model blends a coffin tanto blade profile with modern crossbar lock functionality and a refined grey aluminum handle that keeps things understated but purposeful.
At the core of the knife is a 2.75-inch coffin tanto blade crafted from 14C28N stainless steel, a well-balanced performance steel known for its toughness, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance. It takes a keen edge quickly and holds it through daily use, making it a reliable choice for consistent cutting tasks. At .125 inches thick, the blade offers a solid backbone for demanding work while still maintaining efficient slicing performance. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, classic look while reducing glare and highlighting the precision grind lines.
The tanto profile provides a reinforced tip for added strength and control, making it especially effective for piercing tasks, scoring, and detail work. Its angular geometry adds utility-driven versatility without sacrificing cutting efficiency, giving the knife a practical edge in both work and everyday environments.
Deployment is fast and intuitive thanks to dual thumb studs, allowing smooth ambidextrous operation. Once open, the crossbar lock engages with authority, delivering strong, consistent lockup and effortless one-handed closing. It’s a trusted mechanism valued for its strength, safety, and smooth functionality under repeated use.
The handle is machined from milled aluminum and finished in a subdued grey anodization that emphasizes function over flash. Lightweight yet durable, aluminum keeps carry comfortable while maintaining excellent structural integrity. The coffin-milled scales introduce a reptilian-inspired texture that enhances grip and adds subtle visual depth, giving the handle a distinctive, almost custom-machined character. Every edge and contour reflects the clean fit and finish Auxiliary Manufacturing is known for—precise, consistent, and built with intent.
At 6.5 inches overall, the Coffin Tanto Crossbar Folder is compact enough for everyday pocket carry while still delivering full capability when it’s needed. The tip-up pocket clip ensures secure retention and quick access throughout the day.
With its satin 14C28N blade, grey coffin-milled aluminum handle, and smooth crossbar lock, this knife is a dependable, no-nonsense tool designed for real-world performance.
