The Pro-Tech Chaves Scapegoat Compact BSA26.Scapegoat.1 is a Blade Show Atlanta exclusive automatic built in an extremely limited run of just 120 serialized pieces, making it one of the most tightly controlled releases in the BSA26 lineup. Designed by Ramon Chaves and executed by Pro-Tech, it delivers compact hard-use performance wrapped in a refined, collector-grade package.
At the core is a 3.15-inch clip point blade crafted from MagnaMax steel, Pro-Tech’s proprietary CPM MagnaCut variant. Finished in stonewash, the blade offers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and real-world durability while minimizing visible wear during hard use. It’s a working edge engineered for reliability in demanding everyday carry scenarios.
The Scapegoat Compact platform is driven by Pro-Tech’s push-button automatic system, delivering fast, authoritative deployment and a secure lockup that inspires confidence. Compact in hand but serious in capability, it measures 7.15 inches overall and weighs just 2.85 ounces, striking a balance between discreet carry and functional strength.
The handle is constructed from black carbide-textured aluminum, giving it one of the most aggressive and functional grip surfaces found on a production automatic. The deep machining pattern locks into the hand under pressure while reinforcing the knife’s tactical, no-nonsense character. Visual contrast comes from an abalone push button, satin-finished hardware, and a black deep-carry pocket clip that keeps the profile clean and carry discreet.
Every detail reflects Pro-Tech’s precision manufacturing in Placentia, California, where the knife is engineered and hand-finished to exacting standards. The result is a compact automatic that carries easily, deploys instantly, and stands apart through both material selection and limited availability.
