Auxiliary Manufacturing Mini Kwaiken
The Auxiliary Manufacturing Mini Kwaiken is a compact take on the traditional Japanese kwaiken, a short blade historically carried for personal protection. Its slim 3 in blade is triple hollow ground for a thin, keen edge that glides through rope, cardboard and food with very little effort.
This one wears black paracord over red stingray skin, giving the classic tsuka-maki look a bold pop of color against the satin AEB-L blade.
The handle is wrapped tsuka-maki style: paracord laid over genuine stingray skin and sealed in epoxy. The diamond pattern fills the hand and gives a secure, tactile grip that stays put when your hands are wet, cold or gloved.
