The Auxiliary MFG. Pocket Bowie Crossbar Folder in Grey Aluminum brings a clean, understated take on a hard-use everyday carry platform, blending modern machining, proven materials, and a rugged Bowie-inspired profile. Designed by Auxiliary Manufacturing, this production model delivers dependable performance in a compact format that’s built for real-world cutting tasks without unnecessary complication.

At the core of the design is a 2.75-inch Bowie-style blade crafted from 14C28N stainless steel. Known for its excellent balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance, 14C28N is a reliable working steel that performs consistently across daily use. It takes a sharp edge easily and holds it well, making it a practical choice for users who value function over fuss. At .125 inches thick, the blade provides a solid backbone for tougher cutting jobs while still maintaining efficient slicing geometry for everyday tasks.

The Bowie profile offers a versatile cutting edge with a pronounced belly and a fine point, giving this compact folder surprising capability. It’s built to handle everything from routine utility work to more precise cutting needs, all in a form factor that carries easily and disappears in the pocket when not in use.

Deployment is quick and controlled thanks to dual thumb studs, allowing smooth ambidextrous access. Once open, the crossbar lock engages with authority, delivering strong, consistent lockup and easy one-handed closing. It’s a proven system known for its durability, safety, and intuitive operation under a wide range of conditions.

The handle is machined from milled aluminum and finished in a refined grey anodization that gives the knife a subdued, professional appearance. Lightweight yet strong, aluminum keeps carry weight down without sacrificing durability. The coffin-milled scales introduce a reptilian-like texture that enhances grip and adds subtle visual depth, giving the handle a custom-machined feel while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic. Every edge and contour reflects the fit and finish that Auxiliary Manufacturing is known for—precise, functional, and purpose-driven.

With an overall length of 6.5 inches, the Pocket Bowie Crossbar Folder strikes a balance between compact carry and capable performance. The tip-up pocket clip ensures secure, ready access whenever needed.

Combining a satin-finished 14C28N blade, grey coffin-milled aluminum handle, and smooth crossbar lock, this knife is built for dependable everyday use with a refined edge.
