Auxiliary Manufacturing Karl Jr Deadhead - Green Micarta - Stonewashed 14C28N Blade

14C28N Fixed Blade with Micarta Handles

The Karl Jr Deadhead is a compact fixed blade from Auxiliary Manufacturing, built for everyday carry in a small, lightweight package. It suits users who want a capable neck or pocket knife for light-duty cutting tasks.

Blade

The 3" drop point blade is made from 14C28N steel with a stonewashed finish at 0.12" thick. 14C28N is a Sandvik-produced stainless steel that balances edge retention with corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening, making it a reliable choice for a small utility blade. The drop point shape keeps the tip controllable while offering a useful cutting edge for everyday tasks.

Handle

The handle is built from Micarta, a composite made by layering linen or canvas material with resin under pressure. It offers a grippy, durable surface that holds up well over time and improves with wear. At just 3.7oz overall, the Deadhead carries light.

Carry

This is a fixed blade with no lock to operate - the tang and handle form one solid piece. It ships with a Kydex sheath, a rigid molded plastic that offers secure retention and a clean draw. The sheath supports neck carry or pocket carry depending on preference.
