Chaves CHUB Slipper Blue Label Folding Utility Knife PVD/Gray Aluminum CK-6C11-6E6F--6D15

The Chaves Blue Label CHUB Slipper Folding Utility Knife takes two of Ramon Chaves’ most recognizable designs and reworks them into a compact, fast-acting everyday cutting tool. It combines the rugged handle profile of the TAK (Tiny Ass Knife) with the replaceable utility blade system of the CHUB, creating a streamlined folder built for practical, high-frequency cutting tasks. This version swaps the traditional flipper for a thumb slide mechanism, delivering smooth, controlled “slip-to-open” deployment that’s quick, intuitive, and built for repeat use.

A PVD-coated blade holder anchors the design with a tough, wear-resistant finish, paired with gray anodized aluminum handles that keep the look clean, modern, and industrial. The squared-off handle shape maintains excellent control in a compact footprint, supporting a secure three-finger grip that feels stable and confident during cutting. It’s designed for efficiency in real-world tasks like breaking down boxes, slicing packaging, and handling shop work where speed and consistency matter.

The thumb slide action provides a distinct operational feel, allowing the blade to deploy and retract with deliberate control rather than a traditional flipper motion. It’s a simple, mechanical interface that keeps the focus on function while maintaining the CHUB’s signature practicality.

Gray anodized aluminum handles keep the knife lightweight without compromising strength, giving it a durable structure that still carries comfortably in the pocket. The slim profile also allows it to function as a money clip-style carry piece, adding versatility without unnecessary bulk.

Produced by Reate Knives as part of the Chaves Blue Label series, the CHUB Slipper reflects precise machining, tight fitment, and bold industrial design. The Blue Label line was created to make Ramon Chaves’ signature designs more accessible while preserving the performance and craftsmanship the brand is known for.
