SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Chaves x Pro-Tech Redencion OTS Auto with a battle worn purple aluminum handle brings bold Chaves character together with Pro-Tech’s elite automatic craftsmanship. This American-made out-the-side automatic takes the unmistakable Redencion profile and elevates it with aggressive styling, premium materials, and precision performance built for everyday carry. It’s a knife that doesn’t blend in and isn’t meant to.
At the center is a 3.38-inch CPM S35VN tanto blade finished in a battle worn stonewash that adds visual depth while helping conceal wear from regular use. The tanto blade style delivers strong tip reinforcement and a straight cutting edge that excels at controlled cuts and detail work. With a flat grind, 0.13-inch blade thickness, and a broad 1.13-inch blade width, the Redencion Auto balances cutting efficiency with durability. CPM S35VN steel is trusted for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance, making it well suited for a knife designed to see consistent pocket time.
Pro-Tech’s automatic push-button action is fast, clean, and unmistakably precise. The blade fires with authority and locks up securely via a button lock that’s simple to operate and dependable during use. A washer-based pivot system keeps the action smooth and consistent, reinforcing the knife’s high-end fit and finish.
The purple-anodized aluminum handle sets this Redencion apart immediately. The battle worn finish adds character without sacrificing comfort or control, while the handle’s 4.50-inch length and slim 0.50-inch thickness provide a solid, confident grip. At just 4.45 ounces overall, the knife carries easily while still feeling substantial in hand. The purple color brings a unique edge to the Redencion lineup, offering standout appeal without compromising performance.
A machined Chaves skull pocket clip completes the design, configured for tip-up, right-hand carry. It’s instantly recognizable, secure in the pocket, and a signature detail that reinforces Ramon Chaves’ unmistakable design language.
Designed by Ramon Chaves and built in the USA by Pro-Tech, the Redencion OTS Auto represents a refined balance of style, performance, and automatic precision. It’s a knife for those who appreciate distinctive design backed by proven engineering and materials.
Eye-catching battle worn purple aluminum gives this Redencion Auto unmistakable presence, available at SMKW.
