The Chaves Blue Label T.A.K. Linerlock Folding Knife brings Ramon Chavez’s unmistakable hard-use design into a compact everyday carry that’s small in size but big on capability. Built with the same rugged attitude and bold lines that define Chaves knives, this scaled-down workhorse is made to handle real cutting tasks while riding comfortably in the pocket.
The 2.75-inch tanto blade is crafted from premium ELMAX steel and finished in clean satin, offering outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and strength. The angular tanto profile provides excellent piercing ability and a reinforced tip, making it well suited for demanding everyday use. A flipper tab paired with a smooth ball-bearing pivot delivers quick, crisp deployment with a satisfying snap.
Olive drab green G-10 handle scales are mounted over sturdy steel liners, creating a durable and lightweight frame with excellent grip. The handle design includes a pronounced finger choil that allows users to choke up for added control during detailed cutting. Larger hands will appreciate the secure three-finger grip, while smaller hands can achieve a comfortable four-finger hold. Its compact footprint makes it easy to carry in smaller or crowded pockets without sacrificing usability.
A reliable liner lock keeps the blade firmly secured while the knife is in use and disengages smoothly when it’s time to close it. The knife includes an ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip, along with both the traditional clip and the iconic Chaves skull clip so you can tailor the look to your preference.
The Blue Label series brings Ramon Chavez’s distinctive overbuilt designs to a more accessible price point while maintaining premium materials and dependable construction.
