Chaves x Pro-Tech Redencion OTS Auto FDE Battleworn Milled Key Aluminum Drop Point CK-1A10-1B3F-19D21

The Chaves x Pro-Tech Redencion OTS Auto is a hard-hitting out-the-side automatic that brings together bold design and precision American manufacturing in a way few knives can match. This collaboration between Chaves Knives and Pro-Tech combines unmistakable visual identity with proven automatic performance, resulting in a knife that feels purposeful, controlled, and uncompromising.

Designed by Ramon Chavez, the Redencion Auto carries the same muscular presence that made the manual Redencion a standout. The blade is a 3.38-inch drop point crafted from CPM S35VN steel, a proven performer known for its balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Finished in a stonewash, the blade hides wear well and reinforces the knife’s working character while maintaining a clean, professional look. A flat grind and generous blade width provide strong cutting performance with reliable tip control.

Deployment is fast and authoritative thanks to Pro-Tech’s push-button automatic action. The blade snaps open with consistency and locks securely in place via a button lock that’s easy to operate while maintaining confidence during use. Phosphor bronze washers at the pivot contribute to smooth action and long-term durability.

The handle is machined from aluminum and finished in an FDE battleworn tone that complements the knife’s robust styling. Deep milling throughout the handle enhances grip and adds visual depth without feeling overly aggressive in hand. At 4.45 ounces, the Redencion Auto has a solid, reassuring weight that matches its size and intent, striking a balance between carry comfort and substance.

A signature element of the design is the machined Chaves skull pocket clip, configured for right-hand, tip-up carry. It’s bold, functional, and instantly recognizable, reinforcing the knife’s identity while keeping it secure in the pocket. The handle geometry fills the hand well, with a 4.5-inch handle length that provides excellent control during extended cutting tasks.

Made in the USA, the Chaves x Pro-Tech Redencion OTS Auto is built for everyday carry and tactical use alike. It’s a knife that doesn’t chase trends, instead delivering a confident blend of aggressive design, premium materials, and dependable automatic action for users who expect their gear to perform without hesitation.
