The 3.5-inch tanto blade is crafted from durable 154CM stainless steel, a proven blade steel known for its excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. Featuring a stonewashed finish, the blade has a rugged appearance that naturally hides the marks of hard use while developing character over time. The reinforced tanto profile provides a strong piercing tip and a durable cutting edge, making it an excellent choice for demanding utility tasks, everyday cutting, and outdoor applications.
The thumb stud opener provides smooth, reliable one-handed deployment, allowing quick access whenever the blade is needed. Once open, the sturdy liner lock secures the blade firmly in place, giving you confidence during tougher cutting jobs. Measuring 8 inches overall with a 4.5-inch handle, the Liberation 229 offers a comfortable full-size grip while maintaining a practical profile for everyday pocket carry.
The stonewashed black knurled aluminum handle delivers a balance of durability, traction, and lightweight comfort. The textured surface enhances grip, helping you maintain control during extended use, while the aluminum construction keeps the knife easy to carry throughout the day. This model stands out with blue PVD titanium accents on the hardware and pocket clip, creating a bold contrast against the black handle and stonewashed blade. The vibrant blue details add a custom-inspired touch while maintaining the rugged character that defines Chaves designs.
The legendary skull pocket clip has long been a signature feature of Chaves knives, but the Blue Label Liberation 229 gives you more carry flexibility. This model comes equipped with the secondary pocket clip installed from the factory for a clean and versatile appearance. The iconic skull clip is included in the box, allowing you to swap clips and showcase the unmistakable Chaves style whenever you want.
