The 3.5-inch tanto blade is crafted from proven 154CM stainless steel, offering a reliable combination of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. The stonewashed blade finish gives the knife a rugged, battle-ready appearance while helping disguise the wear that comes from regular use. The reinforced tanto profile provides excellent tip strength for piercing tasks while maintaining a strong cutting edge for utility work, slicing, and everyday cutting chores.
Deployment is quick and reliable thanks to the thumb stud opener, allowing smooth one-handed operation whenever you need access to the blade. Once open, the sturdy liner lock provides secure blade engagement and the confidence required for demanding cutting tasks. With an overall length of 8 inches and a 4.5-inch handle, the Liberation 229 offers a comfortable full-size grip while remaining practical for everyday pocket carry.
The stonewashed black knurled aluminum handle is designed for durability, traction, and long-lasting performance. The textured surface enhances grip during extended use, while the lightweight aluminum construction keeps the knife balanced and comfortable in hand. This model stands apart with green PVD titanium accents on the hardware and pocket clip, creating a bold contrast against the black handle and stonewashed blade. The vibrant green details provide a custom-inspired appearance while maintaining the rugged tactical character expected from Chaves.
The iconic skull pocket clip has become one of the most recognizable features of Chaves knives, but the Blue Label Liberation 229 offers added flexibility for different carry preferences. This knife comes equipped with the secondary pocket clip installed from the factory, providing a clean and understated look for everyday use. The legendary skull clip is included in the box, allowing you to switch to the signature Chaves style whenever you want to make a statement.
