Chaves Knives N.T.A.K. 229 Magnetic Integral Framelock Folder Grey PVD Tanto CK-1D1-2C1A-4A15!

The Chaves Knives N.T.A.K. 229 Magnetic Integral Framelock Folder is what happens when Ramon Chavez takes the attitude of the Tiny Ass Knife and supersizes it into a full-sized cutting powerhouse. N.T.A.K. stands for Not Tiny Ass Knife, and this bold folder more than earns the name with premium materials, innovative engineering, and the unmistakable overbuilt style that defines every Chaves design.

Measuring 8.125 inches overall, the N.T.A.K. delivers substantial size and a reassuring feel in hand. The 3.62-inch tanto blade is crafted from premium Böhler M390 stainless steel, a top-tier steel prized for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The tanto profile offers outstanding piercing capability and reinforced tip strength, making it ideal for hard-use utility work and precision cutting. A compound grind boosts slicing performance, while the gray PVD finish adds a stealthy appearance and an extra layer of protection against wear and corrosion.

Thumb studs and a precision bearing pivot provide smooth, consistent manual deployment with a crisp, controlled action. Once open, the titanium frame lock engages solidly, delivering the secure lockup and dependable strength Chaves knives are known for.

The integral titanium handle is machined from a single piece of gray titanium, creating exceptional structural rigidity and a seamless fit and finish. The standout feature is the magnetic front scale, which allows quick and easy customization with interchangeable scales. It's a forward-thinking design that combines rugged durability with practical versatility.

Weighing 6.5 ounces, the N.T.A.K. feels substantial and confidence-inspiring without being unwieldy. The ergonomic handle contours offer a secure grip during demanding tasks, while the iconic machined Chaves skull pocket clip provides dependable right-hand, tip-up carry and unmistakable style.

Built to exacting standards and designed for serious users, the Integral N.T.A.K. 229 Magnetic is a premium everyday carry folder that blends cutting-edge innovation with uncompromising performance. Large, capable, and unapologetically tough, it's a knife built to work as hard as you do.
