The Aux Manufacturing Pocket Bowie XL is the larger, bolder evolution of the knife that won Custom Tactical Knife of the Year at Blade Show 2022. Hand-built in Reno, Nevada by bladesmith Michael Jarvis, this American-made EDC fixed blade stretches the iconic Pocket Bowie platform into a full-sized performer — a bigger blade, a longer handle, and every bit of the precision craftsmanship the name demands. The AEB-L trailing point Bowie blade features a modified recurve edge for outstanding slicing performance, while the blue ray skin handle with black cord wrap and traditional menuki delivers a grip that's as functional as it is striking. This is an EDC fixed blade knife built for those who want a serious tool with serious character.


Performance

  • 4" flat ground AEB-L Bowie blade with a black stonewash finish — an aggressive trailing point profile optimized for slicing, piercing, and all-around hard use
  • Modified recurve cutting edge — provides an outstanding slicing belly ideal for EDC tasks, hunting, and field work, with a slight spine indent useful for wood processing
  • AEB-L stainless steel at 61.5 HRC — the ideal balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, edge retention, and fast field sharpening performance
  • Blue stingray skin handle wrapped in epoxied black cord with a traditional menuki — the menuki, rooted in Japanese sword-making tradition, sits beneath the wrap to improve palm contact, enhance grip feedback, and add a deeply personal touch to the handle
  • Purpose-built for everyday carry, self-defense, camping, bushcraft, and outdoor survival — a knife that earns its place on your belt every single day
