Auxiliary Manufacturing Hensley Wendigo - Cholla Cactus with Turquoise - Satin S35VN Blade

S35VN Fixed Blade with Cholla Cactus Handles

The Hensley Handmade collab Wendigo from Auxiliary Manufacturing pairs premium steel with a genuinely unique handle material, making it a standout piece for collectors and EDC fixed blade enthusiasts who want something off the beaten path.

Blade

The 3.125" blade is made from S35VN stainless steel with a satin finish. S35VN is a premium powder metallurgy steel that balances strong edge retention with good toughness and easy sharpening, making it a favorite among custom and semi-custom makers. At 0.162" thick, the blade has enough backbone for everyday cutting tasks while staying nimble.

Handle

The handle is crafted from cholla cactus, a desert wood-like material taken from the dried skeleton of the cholla plant and stabilized with turquoise fill in its natural voids. Each handle carries its own distinct grain and color pattern, so no two knives look exactly alike. Total weight comes in at 4.62oz, keeping the knife light in hand or on the belt.

Carry

This fixed blade ships with a black Kydex sheath, molded for a secure friction fit and retention. The sheath supports simple belt carry setups, and the compact 7.5" overall length keeps it easy to carry daily.

Made in the USA.
