The Chaves Blue Label T.A.K. Linerlock Folding Knife proves that serious performance can come in a compact package. Designed by Ramon Chavez, this tough little folder carries the same bold styling and hard-use attitude his knives are known for, scaled down into a practical everyday carry.
The 2.75-inch tanto blade is crafted from premium ELMAX steel and finished in clean satin, delivering outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and strength. The angular tanto profile excels at piercing tasks while maintaining a durable tip and strong cutting edge for daily work. A flipper tab paired with a smooth ball-bearing pivot provides quick, snappy deployment that feels crisp and controlled every time.
Blue G-10 handle scales ride over sturdy steel liners, creating a lightweight yet durable frame with excellent grip and control. A pronounced choil allows users to choke up for more precise cutting, while the handle shape offers a comfortable four-finger grip for smaller hands and a secure three-finger hold for larger ones. Despite its compact size, the knife feels confident and capable in hand.
The liner lock keeps the blade solidly in place during use while remaining easy to disengage when it’s time to close the knife. Carry is simple and versatile thanks to an ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip, and both the traditional clip and the signature Chaves skull clip are included so you can choose your preferred look.
The Blue Label series delivers Ramon Chavez’s unmistakable overbuilt style at a more accessible price while still using premium materials and solid construction.
