The 3.5-inch Wharncliffe blade is crafted from dependable 154CM stainless steel, offering a well-rounded combination of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance. Featuring a stonewashed finish, the blade has a rugged appearance that naturally hides the wear from daily use while developing a unique character over time.

The thumb stud opener provides smooth and reliable one-handed deployment, allowing quick access whenever the blade is needed. Once deployed, the sturdy liner lock secures the blade firmly in place, providing confidence and stability during hard-use cutting. With an overall length of 8 inches and a 4.5-inch handle, the Sangre 229 offers a comfortable full-size grip while maintaining a practical profile for everyday pocket carry.
The stonewashed black knurled aluminum handle provides a durable and lightweight foundation with excellent traction and control. The textured surface enhances grip during extended use, while the stonewashed finish helps conceal scratches and wear from everyday carry. This model features bronze titanium accents on the hardware and pocket clip, creating a refined contrast against the black handle and blade. The warm bronze details add a premium custom-inspired appearance while maintaining the rugged, tactical personality that defines Chaves designs.
The iconic skull pocket clip has long been a signature feature of Chaves knives, but the Blue Label Sangre 229 offers additional carry versatility. This model arrives with the secondary pocket clip installed from the factory, providing a clean and understated carry option. The legendary skull clip is included in the box, allowing you to customize your knife and display the unmistakable Chaves style whenever you choose.
Weighing approximately 6 ounces, the Sangre 229 delivers the solid feel of a serious working knife while remaining comfortable enough for everyday carry.
