In 2021, Chaves Knives—founded by Ramon Chaves—teased the Scapegoat at Blade Show 2021, showcasing prototypes inspired by his custom designs. The full-size Scapegoat debuted as a rugged frame-lock folder, but fans soon clamored for a more compact, street-ready version
The Chaves Scapegoat Street launched in 2023–2024 (with early drops around mid-2023 and wider availability in 2024) as a downsized, EDC-optimized evolution. Produced by Reate Knives, it retained Chaves' bold aesthetics but slimmed down for discreet carry—perfect for urban environments, tactical tasks, and everyday use
The Chaves Scapegoat Street features a 3.5-inch clip-point or spear-point blade in premium Böhler M390 (or ELMAX in Blue Label variants) for outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. It includes a frame lock (or liner lock in budget tiers), dual thumb studs, replaceable pocket clip (often with hidden screws and skull option included), titanium or Micarta handles, and ergonomic finger choil for precise control
Debuting in titanium stonewash, black Micarta, and exclusive editions (e.g., Blade HQ drops, limited runs), the Street quickly became a favorite for its lightweight build (~4–5.6 oz), aggressive yet refined look, and crossover appeal in tactical EDC knives. It solidified Chaves' reputation for hard-use, premium production folders blending custom heritage with accessibility
