Chaves CHUB Automatic Utility Knife Stonewash/Black Aluminum CK-8C11-5F6F-3D3

The Chaves CHUB Automatic Utility Knife delivers fast, no-nonsense cutting performance in a compact, purpose-built design. Created by Ramon Chaves, this premium CHUB variant upgrades the everyday utility platform with automatic deployment while keeping the focus on practical, replaceable-blade functionality. It features a stonewash blade holder paired with black aluminum handles, giving it a clean, understated look with a tough, working finish.

A thumb slide automatic mechanism drives both deployment and lockup, allowing the blade to fire into position with a single controlled motion. Once open, it locks securely for confident use, then retracts just as smoothly. The knife uses standard replaceable utility blades, making it ideal for repetitive cutting tasks where staying sharp and efficient matters more than anything else.

The handle carries the familiar squared CHUB profile inspired by the TAK (Tiny Ass Knife), offering excellent control in a compact footprint. Its shape supports a secure three-finger grip that feels stable during detailed cutting work. Black anodized aluminum handles keep the weight down while providing solid durability and a sleek, low-profile appearance that fits easily into everyday carry setups.

At 3.375" closed and 5.125" overall with a 1" blade, this knife maintains a highly pocketable size while still delivering serious utility. Weighing just 3.45 ounces, it stays light enough for all-day carry without sacrificing strength or usability. The result is a streamlined, fast-acting tool built for efficiency in real-world cutting tasks.
