Michael Jarvis of Auxiliary Manufacturing joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 391 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (https://theknifejunkie.com/391). 

Auxiliary Manufacturing, headed by Michael Jarvis, makes heirloom knives and tools for pocket and home. All made by hand by Jarvis in Reno, Nevada. He is a full-time bladesmith and small business owner making self-defense, EDC and kitchen knives under the Auxiliary shingle.

After spending 15 years in the restaurant industry doing everything from dishwasher to executive chef, Michael started making pocket pry bars, and eventually knives, as a hobby.

Leaving the restaurant industry to help a sick family member, Michael's hobby became a job, and with the help of his wife, it became a business.

The Auxiliary Manufacturing "Karl" model won best custom tactical knife at Blade Show West 2022.
