The Chaves Blue Label N.T.A.K. Linerlock Folding Knife delivers serious everyday carry performance with bold industrial styling and premium materials. It features a 3.625" drop point blade crafted from ELMAX powder metallurgy stainless steel and finished in a durable black PVD coating for added wear and corrosion resistance. The blade deploys with a flipper tab riding on a smooth ball-bearing pivot, providing fast, confident action, while a solid stainless steel linerlock ensures dependable lockup during hard use.
Charcoal Gray G-10 handles offer a secure, lightweight grip while keeping the knife comfortable for extended carry. The N.T.A.K. measures 4.625" closed and weighs 5.89 ounces, giving it a full-hand feel without becoming overly bulky in the pocket. A stainless steel pocket clip comes installed for everyday carry, and the package also includes the signature Chaves Skull Clip for those who prefer a more aggressive, unmistakable look.
The N.T.A.K.—short for Not Tiny Ass Knife—evolved from the compact TAK design, expanding it into a more practical full-sized folder while maintaining Ramon Chaves’ unmistakable design language. Produced by Reate Knives as part of the Blue Label series, it delivers the precision machining, smooth deployment, and rock-solid lockup collectors expect while remaining ready for real daily use. The reversible G-10 backspacer adds versatility, allowing users to rotate it during disassembly to reveal a lanyard loop or keep it hidden for a cleaner profile.
