The Chaves Knives Blue Label Series Redencion Street Tanto delivers the bold design and hard-use capability the brand is known for, now in a more accessible package. Built as part of the Blue Label lineup, this model is designed to bring premium materials and everyday performance together without compromising the signature Chaves attitude. Whether you’re new to the lineup or adding to a growing collection, this knife is built to be carried, used, and relied on.
At the core is a 3.625-inch tanto blade crafted from ELMAX steel, a high-performance alloy known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The flat grind enhances cutting efficiency while maintaining strength at the tip, making it ideal for piercing and precision work. Finished in a stonewashed Black PVD coating, the blade offers added durability and a clean, tactical look that holds up under use.
The linerlock construction provides secure, dependable lockup while keeping the knife lighter and more accessible than traditional frame lock designs. Paired with dual thumb studs, the Redencion Street offers smooth, controlled deployment that’s easy to operate in a variety of situations. At 8.25 inches overall, it strikes a solid balance between carry comfort and full-size capability.
The black micarta handle delivers a reliable grip with a natural, textured feel that improves with use. It’s designed for real-world handling, providing control in dry or wet conditions without feeling overly aggressive. The handle construction also allows for easy scale swaps—simply disassemble the knife, leaving the pivot intact, and install new scales as they become available.
Chaves gives you options when it comes to carry as well. While the iconic skull clip is included in the box, the knife comes equipped with a more understated secondary clip, making it easier to carry in environments where a low-profile look is preferred. The backspacer doubles as a lanyard point, offering additional customization once rotated into position.
Weighing in at 6 ounces, this knife has a solid, confident feel in hand without being excessive. It’s built for daily use, combining durability, versatility, and unmistakable design into one capable package.
