The Avery Knifeworks Mini is the smallest fixed blade in the Avery Knifeworks outdoor lineup, built as a true ultra-compact utility tool designed to disappear into a pocket or pack while still delivering dependable cutting performance. It’s made for users who want a lightweight, always-there fixed blade for daily tasks, backup use, and precise cutting work where control matters most.
It features a 2.25-inch straight back blade crafted from premium MagnaCut stainless tool steel, offering exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance in a compact format. The hand-forged finish gives each blade a rugged, artisan character that reinforces its handcrafted origin while maintaining a practical, field-ready edge profile. Full tang construction runs through the entire knife, providing surprising strength and stability for its size, ensuring reliable performance when the work is more than just light duty.
A smooth Brown Curly Maple handle brings a warm, traditional look to the Mini while showcasing the natural movement and depth of figured maple grain. The flowing curl pattern gives each piece subtle visual variation, while the smooth, stabilized finish provides a comfortable, controlled grip for fine cutting tasks and everyday utility use. Compact in hand, it still feels secure and confident during detailed work.
Each Mini is handmade in the USA by knifemaker Raleigh Avery, known from the History Channel series Mountain Men. His emphasis on functional craftsmanship and real-world performance is evident in every detail, from blade design to overall balance. A molded Kydex sheath is included for secure carry and quick access when needed.
