The Chaves Knives Sam Tran Arison Street Blue Label combines rugged construction, premium materials, and streamlined styling in a capable everyday carry folder. This all-black configuration pairs a black PVD-coated drop point blade with black Micarta handles, delivering a stealthy, tactical appearance that keeps the focus on function. With its clean profile and purposeful design, the Arison Street is built for enthusiasts who appreciate hard-wearing materials and modern knife craftsmanship.
The drop point blade is crafted from ELMAX stainless steel, a premium powder-metallurgy steel valued for its excellent edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Its versatile profile offers a practical balance of slicing performance, cutting control, and tip strength for everyday tasks. The black PVD coating creates a subdued, low-profile finish while helping protect the blade surface against wear, giving the knife a cohesive look suited to regular carry.
Black Micarta handles complete the design with a rugged, understated appearance. Known for its durability and comfortable feel, Micarta is a practical choice for a working knife that’s expected to see regular use. The dark scales blend seamlessly with the coated blade, creating a unified profile that looks tough without unnecessary embellishment. Together, the premium steel and dependable handle material give this Arison Street a balance of performance and style.
Designed by Sam Tran, the Arison Street brings thoughtful proportions and modern styling to a practical manual folding knife. Its durable construction and clean, all-black finish make it a compelling option for everyday cutting chores or a collection of contemporary folders.
