SHOP CASE KNIVESMeet the Chaves Knives T.A.K. Blue Label — a compact EDC knife with serious attitude. Designed by renowned knifemaker Ramon Chavez, the T.A.K. ("Tiny Ass Knife") is proof that great things come in small, rugged packages. Don’t let the name fool you — this knife delivers big on performance, style, and carry comfort.
At the heart of the T.A.K. is a 2.75" drop point blade made from ultra-premium Elmax steel, coated in a stealthy black PVD finish for added durability and corrosion resistance. Whether you're slicing, piercing, or doing day-to-day cutting tasks, this blade handles it all with confidence and ease.
The 3.5" black Micarta handle offers a grippy, ergonomic feel, while the steel linerlock keeps the blade securely in place. Smooth bearing pivot action and a reliable flipper tab make one-handed deployment a breeze — a must-have for fast-paced or hard-use scenarios.
Built with ambidextrous carry in mind, the reversible tip-up clip makes it left- or right-hand friendly. And for those who appreciate a touch of personality, the T.A.K. includes both the iconic Chaves skull clip and a more subtle alternative right in the box — because function and style should never be mutually exclusive.
Part of the Blue Label series, the T.A.K. was created to bring the Chavez experience to more hands without compromising on quality. Lightweight at just 3.38 oz, compact in profile, and tough as nails, this everyday carry knife is made to work hard, look sharp, and feel right at home in your pocket.
