Chaves Blue Label T.A.K. Linerlock Folding Knife PVD Tanto/Blue G-10 CK-1A2-2C2A-4C1-5F

The Chaves Blue Label T.A.K. Linerlock Folding Knife packs Ramon Chavez’s unmistakable design into a compact frame built for everyday carry. Tough, purposeful, and boldly styled, this small but capable folder delivers the same overbuilt attitude Chaves knives are known for, just in a size that disappears easily into your pocket.

The 2.75-inch tanto blade is crafted from premium ELMAX steel and finished with a durable black PVD coating that enhances corrosion resistance while giving the knife a stealthy, tactical appearance. The tanto blade profile offers excellent piercing capability and a reinforced tip, while the high-performance steel provides outstanding edge retention and strength for daily cutting tasks. A flipper tab paired with a smooth ball-bearing pivot delivers quick, snappy deployment with satisfying action.

Blue G-10 handle scales sit over solid steel liners, providing strength without unnecessary weight. The textured G-10 offers a confident grip, and the ergonomic handle design allows the knife to punch above its size. A pronounced finger choil lets users choke up for controlled cuts, giving larger hands a comfortable three-finger grip and smaller hands a full four-finger hold.

A sturdy liner lock keeps the blade securely in place during use while remaining easy to operate. For carry options, the knife includes an ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip along with both the traditional clip and the iconic Chaves skull clip, letting you customize the look of your knife.

The Blue Label series delivers Ramon Chavez’s signature heavy-duty styling at a more accessible price point while still using premium blade steel and durable handle construction.
