Chaves Knives N.T.A.K. 229 Magnetic Integral Framelock Folder Black PVD Tanto CK-1D1-2C1A-4A1!

The Chaves Knives N.T.A.K. 229 Magnetic Integral Framelock Folder is what happens when Ramon Chavez takes the hard-hitting attitude of the Tiny Ass Knife and builds it into a full-sized beast. N.T.A.K. stands for Not Tiny Ass Knife, and this imposing folder delivers exactly what the name promises: premium materials, cutting-edge innovation, and uncompromising performance for serious everyday carry.

At 8.125 inches overall, the N.T.A.K. offers a substantial feel and commanding presence in hand. The 3.62-inch tanto blade is crafted from premium Böhler M390 stainless steel, a top-tier blade steel known for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. The tanto profile provides reinforced tip strength and outstanding piercing power, making it ideal for demanding utility work and precision cuts. A compound grind improves slicing efficiency, while the black PVD finish gives the blade a stealthy, tactical look and adds an extra layer of protection against wear and corrosion.

Dual thumb studs and a precision bearing pivot ensure smooth, consistent manual deployment with a crisp, controlled action. Once open, the titanium frame lock engages securely, delivering the rock-solid lockup and dependable strength Chaves folders are famous for.

The standout feature is the black integral titanium handle. Machined from a single piece of titanium, the integral construction offers exceptional structural rigidity and a seamless, premium fit and finish. The innovative magnetic front scale allows for quick and easy customization with interchangeable scales, combining practical versatility with advanced engineering.

Weighing 6.5 ounces, the N.T.A.K. feels substantial and confidence-inspiring without sacrificing comfort. The ergonomic contours provide a secure grip for hard use, while the signature machined Chaves skull pocket clip ensures dependable right-hand, tip-up carry and unmistakable Chaves style.

Designed by Ramon Chavez and built to exacting standards, the Integral N.T.A.K. 229 Magnetic is a bold, overbuilt everyday carry folder that blends premium M390 steel, integral titanium construction, and modern customization into one formidable package. When your carry knife needs to be as tough and uncompromising as you are, the N.T.A.K. is ready.
