The Avery Knifeworks Mini is the smallest fixed blade in the Avery Knifeworks outdoor lineup, built as a true ultra-compact utility knife designed to go anywhere without weighing you down. It’s made for users who want a dependable fixed blade that disappears in carry yet stays ready for detailed cutting tasks, everyday utility, and quick-use backup needs.
It features a 2.25-inch straight back blade crafted from premium MagnaCut stainless tool steel, delivering exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance in a compact, efficient profile. The hand-forged finish gives each blade a rugged, artisan character that highlights its handmade origin while reinforcing its practical, field-ready design. Full tang construction runs through the entire knife, providing strength and stability that belies its small footprint, ensuring consistent performance when put to work.
A dyed Purple Wood handle brings bold color and natural texture together in a compact, eye-catching form. The rich purple tone enhances the wood’s grain structure, creating subtle depth and movement across the scales while maintaining a smooth, comfortable feel in hand. It’s shaped for secure control during fine cutting tasks, offering confidence and precision despite the knife’s minimal size.
Each Mini is handmade in the USA by knifemaker Raleigh Avery, known from the History Channel series Mountain Men. His focus on functional craftsmanship and real-world utility shows through in every detail, from blade geometry to balance and fit. A molded Kydex sheath is included for secure carry and fast, reliable deployment.
