Pro Tech Auto Ramon Chavez Designed Scapegoat Compact Black Aluminum Handle Black DLC MagnaMax Blade AUPTRCS1103-SWAT

The Pro-Tech Auto Scapegoat Compact, designed by Ramon Chavez, is a purpose-driven automatic that fuses aggressive design language with precision American manufacturing. Chavez’s signature bold, tactical styling is unmistakable here, while Pro-Tech’s reputation for tight tolerances, clean finishing, and dependable automation ensures a platform that performs as good as it looks. The result is a compact hard-use folder built for reliability, speed, and everyday functionality without unnecessary bulk.

At the core of the Scapegoat Compact is a 3.15" MagnaMax steel blade, finished in a durable black DLC coating. MagnaMax is engineered for high-end edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, delivering modern performance for demanding use. The blade is ground in a clip point profile, offering a more versatile and controlled cutting geometry compared to traditional tactical shapes, with a reinforced tip that still provides excellent piercing capability. The DLC black finish enhances wear resistance while reducing glare, giving the blade a clean, low-profile tactical aesthetic that holds up well under hard use and frequent carry.

Deployment is fast, decisive, and unmistakably Pro-Tech. The black push-button automatic mechanism delivers a crisp, authoritative action with every press, sending the blade into full lockup in an instant. The button auto system is tuned for consistency and reliability, offering a controlled yet powerful deployment that users can depend on in both routine and high-pressure situations. Once open, the blade locks solidly in place with no play, reflecting Pro-Tech’s commitment to mechanical precision.

The handle is constructed from black 6061 aluminum, balancing strength and weight savings in a proven EDC material. Its solid texture and clean contouring provide a secure, confident grip without unnecessary embellishment, keeping the design functional and streamlined. At 4 inches closed and 7 inches overall, the Scapegoat Compact carries easily while still delivering full-capable cutting performance when deployed. Weighing just 2.85 ounces, it remains lightweight in the pocket, making it ideal for daily carry without fatigue.

Carry is configured for right-hand use with a tip-up pocket clip, allowing for secure retention and fast deployment access. Every detail, from the hardware to the action tuning, reflects a focus on real-world usability and long-term durability.

Proudly made in the USA, the Pro-Tech Auto Scapegoat Compact stands as a refined balance of modern materials, compact ergonomics, and battle-ready simplicity. It is built for users who expect immediate response, dependable lockup, and a no-nonsense tool that performs every time it is called upon.
