Auxiliary Manufacturing Coffin Tanto Crossbar Lock Micarta Handle
The Auxiliary Manufacturing Coffin Tanto Crossbar Lock is a compact, hard-use EDC folder that blends aggressive styling with practical, everyday functionality. Built as part of the Deadhead Series, this knife delivers reliable performance, modern ergonomics, and a strong value-driven design.
At the core is a 2.77” tanto blade crafted from 14C28N steel, known for its excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance—making it ideal for daily use. The tanto profile provides a reinforced tip for piercing tasks while maintaining a versatile cutting edge for general utility.
The standout feature is the crossbar lock system, offering fully ambidextrous operation and smooth, secure deployment. This style of lock is trusted for its strength and ease of use, making it perfect for both left- and right-handed users.
The micarta handle enhances both performance and feel. It provides a warm, grippy texture that improves with use, ensuring confident control in all conditions. Paired with a G10 backspacer, the handle maintains structural integrity while keeping weight low.
