Chaves T.A.K. Blue Label Linerlock Folding Knife PVD Tanto/Black Micarta CK-1C2-2C2A-4C1-1B

The Chaves T.A.K. Blue Label Linerlock Folding Knife delivers the unmistakable style and rugged performance that Ramon Chaves designs are known for, now in a compact, everyday carry-friendly package. Built tough and sized for real-world use, the T.A.K. is a small knife that refuses to compromise on strength, materials, or attitude.

Its 2.75-inch tanto blade is crafted from premium Elmax stainless steel, a high-performance steel prized for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The angular tanto profile provides outstanding piercing capability and a reinforced tip that excels in demanding cutting tasks. Finished with a durable black PVD coating, the blade offers additional wear resistance while giving the knife a bold, tactical appearance that matches its hard-use capabilities.

Ambidextrous thumb studs allow for fast, confident deployment, and the blade rides on a smooth pivot that makes opening and closing the knife feel crisp and controlled. A sturdy stainless steel linerlock secures the blade during use, delivering dependable lockup and the kind of reliability you expect from a serious working knife.

The handle features black Micarta scales layered over stainless steel liners, creating a strong and comfortable grip with a classic, work-ready character. Micarta’s lightly textured surface offers excellent traction while developing a unique patina over time, giving each knife its own personality the more it’s carried and used. The compact 3.5-inch closed length keeps the T.A.K. easy to carry while still providing a confident grip in hand.

An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip allows for convenient everyday carry, making the knife equally comfortable in either pocket. At just 3.38 ounces, it carries light while still delivering the solid, overbuilt feel that Chaves knives are known for.
