SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Chaves x Pro-Tech Redencion OTS Auto delivers unmistakable Chaves attitude paired with Pro-Tech’s proven automatic precision. This American-made collaboration takes the bold Redencion design and refines it into a fast-deploying out-the-side automatic that’s built for serious everyday carry and tactical-minded users. Every detail reflects purpose, from the clean blade geometry to the smooth, confident action.
The stonewashed CPM S35VN drop point blade measures 3.38 inches with a 3.13-inch cutting edge, offering a balanced mix of slicing efficiency and strength. The flat grind keeps the blade versatile across daily cutting tasks while maintaining edge stability. With a blade thickness of 0.13 inches and a broad 1.13-inch blade width, the Redencion Auto feels substantial without crossing into excess. S35VN steel is a trusted performer, known for its edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance, making it a solid choice for long-term carry and consistent use. The stonewash finish helps disguise wear and reinforces the knife’s utilitarian character.
Pro-Tech’s automatic push-button opener delivers a crisp, decisive deployment every time. The blade fires with authority and locks securely via a button lock that’s easy to operate and dependable under use. A washer-based pivot keeps the action smooth and consistent, ensuring the knife opens and closes with confidence.
The smooth green aluminum handle brings a clean, modern look to the Redencion profile while maintaining the solid feel Chaves designs are known for. Measuring 4.50 inches long and just 0.50 inches thick, the handle provides excellent control without unnecessary bulk. At 4.45 ounces overall, the knife carries comfortably in the pocket while still feeling substantial in hand. The green finish adds visual distinction while staying understated enough for daily carry.
Completing the package is the machined Chaves skull pocket clip, set up for tip-up, right-hand carry. It’s instantly recognizable and reinforces the knife’s bold identity while providing secure retention.
Designed by Ramon Chaves and built in the USA, the Redencion OTS Auto stands as a premium automatic knife that blends strong design language, reliable materials, and proven performance. It’s a knife that makes a statement without sacrificing function, built for those who expect their gear to deliver every time it’s called upon.
