Chaves Scapegoat 229 Blue Label Linerlock Folding Knife PVD Spear Point/Blue G-10 CK-4A2-10C2A-4C1-5F

The Chaves Scapegoat 229 carries Ramon Chaves’ unmistakable design language, blending bold lines and aggressive styling with serious everyday performance. It’s a knife built to stand out in the pocket and perform when the work begins, delivering the unmistakable Chaves look paired with practical hard-use capability.

Manufactured by Reate Knives, the Scapegoat 229 benefits from some of the best production craftsmanship in the industry. Reate’s precision machining and attention to detail show up everywhere—from the perfectly centered blade to the smooth action and rock-solid construction. The result is a folder that feels every bit as refined as it is tough.

The blade measures 4 inches and is crafted from premium Elmax stainless steel, a high-performance steel prized for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Its spear point profile offers a balanced design that excels at both slicing and piercing tasks, while the flat grind enhances cutting efficiency across a wide range of everyday jobs. The blade is finished in a durable black PVD coating that adds an extra layer of wear resistance while giving the knife a stealthy, hard-use appearance.

The handle features vibrant blue G-10 scales over stainless steel liners, creating a lightweight yet extremely durable structure. G-10 is known for its strength and grip, offering dependable control even in demanding conditions. The ergonomic shaping fits naturally in the hand, making the Scapegoat comfortable during extended use.

A sturdy liner lock keeps the blade firmly secured during work, and the bearing pivot system delivers fast, smooth deployment every time. The knife includes a stainless steel tip-up pocket clip for right-side carry, along with the iconic Chaves skull clip so users can choose the look they prefer. A G-10 backspacer adds strength while tying the entire construction together.

The Chaves Blue Label series brings Ramon Chaves’ signature designs and rugged performance to a more accessible price point while maintaining the quality and materials enthusiasts expect. Built around stainless liners rather than titanium, these knives still deliver the unmistakable Chaves feel and ergonomics while remaining ready for everyday carry and real-world use.
