SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Chaves x Pro-Tech Redencion OTS Auto is a hard-hitting American-made automatic that pairs Ramon Chaves’ unmistakable design language with Pro-Tech’s precision manufacturing. Built as a true everyday carry with tactical credibility, this knife delivers authority the moment it’s in hand. Everything about the Redencion Auto reflects purpose, from its clean machining to its fast, confident action.
At the core is a stonewashed CPM S35VN drop point blade measuring 3.38 inches, with a flat grind that balances slicing performance and edge stability. The blade thickness of 0.13 inches keeps it strong without feeling overbuilt, while the wide 1.13-inch blade profile gives it serious presence. S35VN is well known for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance, making it a smart choice for a knife meant to be carried and used regularly. The stonewash finish hides wear well and reinforces the knife’s work-ready character.
Deployment is instant and decisive thanks to Pro-Tech’s automatic push-button action. The blade fires hard and locks up solidly via a secure button lock, giving you confidence whether you’re opening boxes, cutting cordage, or handling more demanding tasks. The action is smooth, consistent, and unmistakably Pro-Tech, backed by a washer-based pivot system that keeps everything running clean.
The black milled aluminum handle is shaped for control and durability without unnecessary bulk. Measuring 4.50 inches long and weighing just 4.45 ounces overall, the Redencion Auto carries comfortably while still feeling substantial. The handle’s machining adds grip and visual depth, staying true to Chaves’ industrial aesthetic. A machined Chaves skull pocket clip completes the package, set up for tip-up, right-hand carry and making a bold statement every time it hits your pocket.
Designed by Ramon Chaves and built in the USA, the Redencion Auto stands as a premium automatic knife for those who appreciate strong design, reliable performance, and uncompromising build quality. It’s a collaboration that delivers exactly what it promises—power, precision, and unmistakable style.
