SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Chaves NTAK Folding Knife with a Black PVD Drop Point Blade and Black Canvas Micarta Handle is a tactical, high-performance folder designed for those who demand durability, precision, and style in a compact package. Engineered by Ramon Chaves, this knife balances rugged functionality with modern aesthetics, making it ideal for everyday carry, outdoor adventures, or collectors seeking a top-tier folding knife.
At the heart of the NTAK is a 3.63-inch drop point blade forged from Elmax steel, a premium stainless alloy prized for its superior edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The black PVD coating not only enhances the blade’s durability and corrosion protection but also delivers a sleek, stealthy appearance. The drop point design provides a versatile tip and strong edge, excelling in piercing, slicing, and detailed cutting tasks, making it a reliable tool for any situation.
The handle is made from black canvas micarta, a material celebrated for its strength, lightweight properties, and textured grip. Micarta develops a subtle patina over time, giving each knife a unique character while providing a secure hold even in wet or demanding conditions. The ergonomic handle shape ensures comfort during extended use and precise control for a variety of tasks, making the knife practical and responsive in all situations.
Deployment is quick and intuitive via the ambidextrous thumb stud, while the robust frame lock securely holds the blade in place during use. The knife includes a deep-carry pocket clip for discreet, everyday carry and features Chaves’ signature skull pocket clip, giving users a bold, customizable option for personal style. Every detail—from the precision-machined blade to the durable micarta handle—reflects Chaves’ dedication to quality and craftsmanship.
Built for demanding use but refined enough for collectors, the Chaves NTAK Folding Knife delivers exceptional materials, reliable performance, and unmistakable Chaves design. It’s a tool that’s ready for work, adventure, and display, combining tactical capability with aesthetic sophistication.
