The Pro-Tech Chaves Scapegoat Compact BSA26.Scapegoat.1 is a Blade Show Atlanta exclusive automatic limited to just 120 serialized pieces, placing it among the most tightly controlled releases in the BSA26 series. Designed by Ramon Chaves and executed by Pro-Tech, it distills hard-use capability into a compact, high-end automatic built for serious everyday carry.
At the core is a 3.15-inch clip point blade crafted from MagnaMax steel, Pro-Tech’s proprietary CPM MagnaCut variant. The acid-washed finish adds a rugged, battle-ready aesthetic while helping mask wear from daily use, all while preserving the steel’s standout performance profile. Expect exceptional edge retention, strong corrosion resistance, and the kind of durability that holds up under demanding carry conditions.
The push-button automatic mechanism delivers fast, authoritative deployment with a secure, confidence-inspiring lockup. The Scapegoat Compact platform keeps things streamlined at 7.15 inches overall and 2.85 ounces, making it easy to carry discreetly without sacrificing real working utility when it’s needed most.
This configuration features green carbide-textured aluminum handles that bring both visual depth and functional grip to the design. The aggressive machining pattern enhances control under pressure, while the rich green finish gives the knife a distinctive presence that stands apart from standard tactical styling. An abalone push button adds a refined contrast point, complemented by satin hardware and a black deep-carry clip that maintains a clean, low-profile carry setup.
Built in Placentia, California by Pro-Tech Knives, the Scapegoat Compact reflects tight tolerances, clean execution, and a commitment to performance-driven design. Every detail is purpose-built, from the action to the finishing, resulting in a compact automatic that carries light, deploys instantly, and performs without hesitation.
