Chaves CHUB Automatic Utility Knife Stonewash/Green Aluminum CK-8C-11-5F-6F-3D4

The Chaves CHUB Automatic Utility Knife delivers the same compact practicality the CHUB is known for, now with the speed and precision of automatic deployment. Designed by Ramon Chaves, this premium version transforms the everyday utility knife into a fast-acting cutting tool built for efficiency, durability, and unmistakable industrial style. It features a stonewash blade holder paired with green aluminum handles, giving the knife a rugged working finish and bold visual contrast.

Instead of a traditional flipper, this model uses a thumb slide automatic mechanism that both deploys and locks the blade. A quick push of the slide sends the blade into position with decisive action, and the same control securely locks it in place during use. The knife uses standard replaceable utility blades, making it ideal for jobs where sharpness matters and quick blade swaps keep the workflow moving without downtime.

The handle maintains the familiar squared profile inspired by the TAK (Tiny Ass Knife), allowing for excellent control in a compact package. Its design provides a comfortable and secure three-finger grip, making detailed cutting tasks easier and more precise. Green anodized aluminum handles keep the weight low while offering strong structural durability, and the streamlined frame rides easily in the pocket throughout the day.

Measuring 3.375" closed and 5.125" overall with a 1" utility blade, the CHUB Automatic weighs just 3.45 ounces. The compact footprint, fast deployment, and replaceable blade system make it a highly practical tool for everyday cutting tasks while still carrying the unmistakable character of a Chaves design.
