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 with a striking dual satin and stonewash finish that highlights the blade’s lines while helping disguise everyday wear. The blade deploys using a flipper tab riding on a smooth ball-bearing pivot, delivering quick, confident action, while a sturdy stainless steel linerlock provides dependable lockup for demanding cutting tasks.
Charcoal Gray G-10 handles provide a secure grip with excellent durability while keeping weight manageable for daily pocket carry. The N.T.A.K. measures 4.625" closed and weighs 5.89 ounces, offering a full, comfortable grip without feeling overly bulky in the pocket. A stainless steel pocket clip comes installed for low-profile carry, and the box also includes the iconic Chaves Skull Clip for those who prefer a more aggressive, unmistakable look.
The N.T.A.K.—short for Not Tiny Ass Knife—grew from the original compact TAK concept, expanding the design into a more capable full-sized folder while preserving Ramon Chaves’ bold, unmistakable style. Manufactured by Reate Knives as part of the Blue Label series, it delivers excellent machining, smooth flipping action, and rock-solid lockup while staying practical for real-world use. A reversible G-10 backspacer adds versatility—rotate it during disassembly to reveal a lanyard loop or keep it hidden for a cleaner profile.
