Chaves Blue Label N.T.A.K. Linerlock Folding Knife PVD Tanto/Charcoal Gray G-10

The Chaves Blue Label N.T.A.K. Linerlock Folding Knife delivers bold everyday carry capability with the unmistakable industrial styling that Ramon Chaves is known for. It features a 3.625" tanto blade crafted from premium ELMAX powder metallurgy stainless steel with a durable black PVD-coated finish that boosts corrosion resistance while adding a sleek, tactical look. The reinforced tanto tip excels at piercing tasks while maintaining excellent edge strength for demanding cutting jobs. A flipper tab and smooth ball-bearing pivot provide fast, crisp blade deployment, while a sturdy stainless steel linerlock ensures reliable lockup when the work begins.

Charcoal Gray G-10 handles provide a durable, textured grip that remains comfortable during extended use while keeping the knife lightweight and practical for daily carry. The N.T.A.K. measures 4.625" closed and weighs 5.89 ounces, giving it a full-hand grip that feels substantial without turning it into a pocket brick. A stainless steel pocket clip comes installed for discreet carry, and the box also includes the iconic Chaves Skull Clip for those who want the unmistakable signature look.

The N.T.A.K.—short for Not Tiny Ass Knife—evolved from the compact TAK platform, expanding the design into a more capable full-sized folder while preserving the bold design language that defines Chaves knives. Manufactured by Reate Knives as part of the Blue Label line, it combines excellent machining, smooth flipping action, and vault-like lockup with materials designed for real-world use. The reversible G-10 backspacer adds practical versatility, allowing users to rotate it during disassembly to reveal a lanyard loop or keep it hidden for a cleaner profile.
