Auxiliary Manufacturing Deadhead Pocket Bowie Crossbar - Blue Micarta - Rose Gold PVD 14C28N Blade

14C28N Crossbar Lock with Micarta Handles

The Deadhead Pocket Bowie from Auxiliary Manufacturing brings a classic bowie blade shape into a compact, modern folder. Its small footprint and crossbar lock make it an easy everyday carry for anyone who wants distinct style along with practical function.

Blade

The 2.77" bowie-style blade is made from 14C28N steel with a rose gold PVD finish. 14C28N is a Swedish stainless steel developed with input from knife makers, offering a good balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. The bowie profile brings a clipped point and upswept belly, giving the blade strong piercing ability along with a long cutting edge.

Handle

The handle scales are blue Micarta, a composite made from layers of linen or canvas cloth set in resin. Micarta is valued for its durability and the way its texture improves with wear, giving it a grippy, non-slip feel. At just 2.9oz, the knife carries light in the pocket.

Carry

This knife uses a crossbar lock, a mechanism where a spring-loaded bar locks into a notch on the blade tang; pushing the bar to either side releases the blade for closing. It operates smoothly with one hand and disengages just as easily. The pocket clip is configured for tip-up carry and can be set up for right or left-hand use.
