Chaves has been a brand that we have watched develop over the years. Starting out with small pry bars and eventually working their way up to the knife category. The front runner to their design has been their widely recognizable skull shaped pocket clips. Who knew that the EDC community are really into skulls? Chaves did and now their latest contribution to the knife community comes in the form of a utility knife. Most knife collectors are using their knives for mundane tasks. The most action they’ll see are on a kitchen table opening packages (most likely containing more knives). A utility knife offers the ease of use and the ability to switch out razor blades over time as the edge is worn down. Reserving your finer cutting tools in your collection for more upscale events and outings may save your artisan crafted, unique finished blades the need for resharpening in the future. Plus who wants all that glue and left over residue from opening boxes staining your blade. That’s where the resurgence of the utility knife has come into the picture.

Chaves’ C.H.U.B looks like a conventional utility knife but has the added luxurious feel of a micarta and G10 handle scale, and the fun of a flipper. We mentioned how switching out razor blades adds to the functionality, but everything else on the C.H.U.B is removable as well. Using our soon to be available Tombstone Knife Works bit driver set, switching out everything from the pocket clip and handle scales are a breeze. You should only need to buy one C.H.U.B and infinitely customizable parts that are available through Chaves and other retailers.
