SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Chaves NTAK Folding Knife with a Stonewashed Drop Point Blade and Black Canvas Micarta Handle is a masterclass in rugged design and tactical precision. Engineered by Ramon Chaves, this knife delivers high-performance functionality while maintaining the sleek, modern lines that have become synonymous with the Chaves brand. Built for collectors, everyday users, and tactical enthusiasts alike, the NTAK 229 is as capable in the field as it is on display.
At the heart of the NTAK is a 3.63-inch drop point blade crafted from Elmax steel, a high-end stainless alloy renowned for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The blade features a combined stonewash and satin finish that enhances its durability, hides wear from heavy use, and provides a professional, tactical look. The drop point profile offers a balanced tip and cutting edge, making it ideal for slicing, piercing, and controlled utility work in a variety of environments.
The handle is constructed from black canvas micarta, a material celebrated for its strength, lightweight properties, and superior grip. Micarta naturally develops a subtle patina with use, giving each knife a unique character over time. Its ergonomic design ensures a secure, comfortable hold during extended tasks, while the robust frame lock provides reliable blade security when deployed.
Deployment is smooth and efficient using the ambidextrous thumb stud, allowing for quick one-handed operation. The knife also comes equipped with a deep-carry pocket clip for discreet everyday carry, along with Chaves’ signature skull pocket clip for a bold, customizable look. Every aspect of the NTAK—from the precision-machined blade to the textured micarta handle—reflects Chaves’ attention to detail and commitment to high-quality craftsmanship.
Whether used in tactical situations, outdoor adventures, or daily cutting tasks, the Chaves NTAK Folding Knife combines performance, durability, and signature Chaves style. Its premium materials, functional design, and thoughtful features make it a versatile and reliable folding knife ready for any challenge.
