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 made for users who want the dependability of a fixed blade in a smaller, pocket-friendly format while still maintaining the strength and control needed for everyday carry, camp tasks, and outdoor 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, capable platform. The hand-forged finish gives each blade a rugged, artisan character that sets it apart while reinforcing its field-ready purpose. Full tang construction runs through the entire knife, providing strength and stability in a lightweight profile that’s easy to carry and reliable under hard use.
A Seafoam Resin and Maple handle brings a calm, coastal-inspired look to the Mini XL. The soft seafoam tones of the resin blend into the warm, natural grain of the maple, creating a smooth visual transition that feels both organic and modern. It’s shaped for comfort and control, offering a secure grip for detailed cutting tasks while maintaining a refined, balanced feel in hand.
Each Mini XL is handmade in the USA by knifemaker Raleigh Avery, known from the History Channel series Mountain Men. His work reflects a strong focus on functional design, durability, and real-world performance. A molded Kydex sheath is included for secure carry and quick access when the knife is needed.
