A Purpose-Built Auto with Serious Design Pedigree
The Scapegoat Compact is a brand-new design for 2026 from Pro-Tech Knives, created in collaboration with renowned custom maker Ramon Chavez. It takes the aggressive, hard-use DNA of the original Scapegoat and refines it into a more compact, everyday-carry-friendly automatic.
This version also marks an important milestone for Pro-Tech, featuring MagnaMax blade steel, one of the most exciting new developments in modern knife steel.
Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply
This is one of those knives that immediately feels intentional. Nothing is extra, nothing is missing. The compact size makes it far more EDC-friendly than the original Scapegoat, but it still hits with that unmistakable Pro-Tech authority when it fires. Add MagnaMax into the mix and you’ve got a very compelling new release.
Compact Size, Big Performance
The Scapegoat Compact keeps the bold, angular blade shape Ramon Chavez is known for, but trims it down into a form that carries easily without losing its edge presence. The solid black aluminum handle keeps weight down while staying rigid and secure, and the stonewashed MagnaMax blade is built to thrive under real use.
As an automatic, deployment is fast, clean, and decisive, exactly what Pro-Tech is known for. The blasted hardware and black deep-carry clip finish off the package with a cohesive, no-nonsense look.
