CRKT have gone back to basics with this backup blade. The Aux was designed by custom knifemaker Lucas Burnley as an EDC alternative to larger, ungainly tactical fixed blade knives. The blade is a compact 3.5” modified drop point, but a full tang and aggressive jimping give it strength and precision well beyond its size. It comes with a convenient Kydex J-hook sheath that slips on and off belts quickly and easily.

Pro tip:
Glass-reinforced nylon (GRN) is a high-strength, abrasion and impact resistant thermoplastic polyamide. This type of enhanced nylon is very rigid making it a popular choice for knife handles. GRN also has natural chemical resistance to common substances like motor oil, transmission fluid and methanol.
