Description:
The Chaves T.A.K. Integral (Tiny Ass Knife) delivers a full-featured, overbuilt design in a compact and highly pocketable format. This version features a drop point blade and the rugged Full Rock Titanium finish that defines the Chaves style.
The 2.75-inch drop point blade is made from Bohler M390 — a premium stainless steel known for outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and hardness. A compound grind offers both durability at the tip and slicing precision along the edge. The satin finish adds a refined touch to the aggressive profile.
The handle is fully integral titanium, machined from a single solid block. The Full Rocked (tumbled) finish creates a distressed, high-traction surface while maintaining clean lines. The knife locks up solidly via a frame lock with a steel lockbar insert for wear resistance.
Action is smooth and consistent thanks to a low-profile flipper tab and a ball-bearing pivot. A titanium skull pocket clip (right-hand, tip-up) completes the package, with a plain clip often included as an alternative.
Compact, premium, and unmistakably Chaves — the T.A.K. Integral Drop Point is an ideal fusion of utility, durability, and collector appeal.
