SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Chaves x Pro-Tech Redencion OTS Auto Black Spiral Stipple Aluminum Handle delivers unmistakable presence backed by precise American-made automatic performance. This collaboration between Chaves Knives and Pro-Tech brings together bold design language and proven out-the-side automatic engineering in a knife that feels deliberate, solid, and purpose-built.
Known as the Redencion 229 Auto, this model carries the signature design vision of Ramon Chavez, whose work is defined by strong lines and uncompromising style. The blade is a 3.375-inch tanto ground from CPM S35VN steel, a respected steel chosen for its balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The flat grind enhances cutting efficiency, while the reinforced tanto tip adds strength and control for precise work. A stonewashed finish minimizes glare and helps conceal wear, reinforcing the knife’s working character.
Pro-Tech’s push-button automatic action drives the deployment, delivering fast, authoritative blade opening with every press. The out-the-side mechanism is smooth and consistent, locking the blade firmly in place for confident use. The action reflects Pro-Tech’s reputation for tight tolerances and dependable performance, offering a controlled feel that inspires trust.
The handle is machined from aluminum and finished in a black spiral stipple pattern that’s both functional and visually distinctive. The stippling adds traction without being overly aggressive, providing a secure grip while maintaining comfort during extended use. With a 4.5-inch handle length and a streamlined profile, the knife fills the hand naturally and offers excellent control. At 4.45 ounces, it has a solid, balanced feel that complements its size without becoming cumbersome for everyday carry.
With an overall length of just under eight inches, the Redencion OTS Auto sits squarely in a versatile range for daily use. The black aluminum handle keeps the look understated yet bold, while the automatic opener adds speed and convenience when quick access matters. Every detail reflects a focus on function, strength, and clean execution rather than unnecessary embellishment.
Proudly made in the USA, the Chaves x Pro-Tech Redencion OTS Auto Black Spiral Stipple Aluminum Handle stands as a strong example of what happens when distinctive design meets disciplined manufacturing and reliable automatic action.
