Chaves Knives N.T.A.K. 229 Magnetic Integral Framelock Folder Stonewash Drop Point CK-1D1-1B1A-1A0!

The Chaves Knives N.T.A.K. 229 Magnetic Integral Framelock Folder takes the bold spirit of the Tiny Ass Knife and scales it into a full-sized workhorse that's ready for anything your day throws at it. N.T.A.K. stands for Not Tiny Ass Knife, and this model lives up to that name with uncompromising materials, innovative engineering, and the unmistakable styling that has made Ramon Chavez a favorite among serious knife enthusiasts.

Measuring 8.125 inches overall, the N.T.A.K. delivers a commanding presence without sacrificing control or comfort. Its 3.62-inch drop point blade is crafted from premium Böhler M390 stainless steel, renowned for outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The drop point profile offers exceptional versatility, making it equally effective for slicing, piercing, and precision cutting tasks. A compound grind enhances cutting efficiency, while the rugged stonewash finish hides wear and gives the blade a hard-use look that only gets better over time.

Dual thumb studs and a smooth bearing pivot provide crisp, reliable manual deployment. Once open, the titanium frame lock engages with solid authority, delivering the secure lockup and confidence you expect from a Chaves folder.

The defining feature of this model is its stonewashed integral titanium handle. Machined from a single piece of gray titanium, the integral construction offers superior rigidity, durability, and precision. The magnetic front scale adds a unique layer of customization, allowing you to swap scales quickly and easily while maintaining the clean lines and structural integrity of the handle.

At 6.5 ounces, the N.T.A.K. feels substantial and reassuring in hand. The contoured handle provides a secure grip, and the signature machined Chaves skull pocket clip ensures dependable right-hand, tip-up carry with unmistakable attitude.

Designed by Ramon Chavez and built to exacting standards, the Integral N.T.A.K. 229 Magnetic combines premium M390 steel, integral titanium construction, and practical customization in one formidable everyday carry knife. It's large, capable, and unapologetically overbuilt—the way a Chaves should be.
