The Avery Knifeworks Mini XL fixed blade knife is a compact, hard-use design built as a downsized companion to the Avery Knifeworks Field Knife. It’s engineered for users who want the reliability of a fixed blade in a more pocket-friendly size without giving up the confidence and control needed for demanding everyday carry, outdoor tasks, or camp utility work.
It features a 2.75-inch straight back blade crafted from premium MagnaCut stainless tool steel, delivering exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance in a compact format. The hand-forged finish gives each blade a rugged, artisan character that sets it apart while reinforcing its field-ready identity. Full tang construction runs through the entire knife, providing strength and stability that holds up under real use while maintaining a lightweight, easy-carry profile.
A Purple Dyed Curly Maple handle brings bold color and natural figure together in a striking combination. The flowing grain of the curly maple interacts with the deep purple dye to create shifting visual depth that changes with the light. Despite its standout appearance, the handle remains practical in hand, shaped for a secure grip and steady control during fine, detailed cutting tasks as well as general utility work.
Each Mini XL 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 durability is evident in every aspect of the design. A molded Kydex sheath is included for secure carry and quick, reliable access.
