CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe T.A.K. from Chaves Knives is a compact folder with serious capability, crafted for those who prefer their everyday carry with a touch of grit and style. Sporting a 2.75-inch Bohler M390 stainless steel blade, this knife doesn’t just look sharp—it stays sharp, thanks to M390’s exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. The polished satin finish on the drop point blade gives it a refined edge, though this knife is clearly ready to work, not sit pretty.
This "Tiny Ass Knife" holds it own in the big leagues. Built with a titanium framelock handle, it’s light yet rugged, designed to handle hard use without adding unnecessary bulk to your pocket. The stonewashed finish gives the handle a durable, no-nonsense look, and it only gets better as it gains character with each use.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Chaves without the signature oversized skull-shaped titanium pocket clip, bringing a bold aesthetic that’s instantly recognizable. A standard clip is also included for a more discrete carry. It may be small, but this knife knows how to make an impression. Closed, it measures just 3.5 inches and weighs 3.67 ounces, making it a perfect fit for those who want their EDC to stay out of the way until it’s needed, then stand out when it counts.
