Michael Jarvis spent 15 years in restaurants—dishwasher to line cook to executive chef to general manager. Somewhere along the way he started making pry bars as a side project, which turned into making other pocket tools, which eventually turned into knives. When he left the restaurant industry to help a sick family member, the hobby had already become something more. He set up shop in Reno in February 2016 and never went back.
AUX MFG started with handmade fixed blades, and that's still the standard everything else gets measured against. Each fixed blade begins as raw American steel and gets ground, shaped, heat treated, and hand-wrapped in the shop. The Deadhead Series brought that same design approach to folders—Pocket Bowie and Coffin Tanto blade shapes produced through Miguron to maintain tight tolerances across production runs.
Pocket Bowie — Clip point with a working belly. Classic geometry that earns its carry.
Coffin Tanto — Flat-ground tanto with a strong tip and a look that stands out.
Crossbar and Deadhead models run 14C28N steel with Micarta or G-10 handles. Framelock models step up to M390 and milled titanium.
