Chaves Liberation 229 Folding Knife Black Canvas Micarta Handle Black PVD Drop Point Blade CHAV14314

The Chaves Liberation 229 Folding Knife with a Black PVD Drop Point Blade and Black Canvas Micarta Handle captures the unmistakable power and precision that define Ramon Chaves’ designs. Built for those who demand strength, style, and uncompromising performance, this knife delivers both striking aesthetics and serious cutting capability in a package that’s as bold as it is functional.

At its core, the Liberation 229 features a 3.5-inch Elmax steel blade—a premium stainless alloy celebrated for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and resistance to corrosion. The blade’s drop point profile offers a perfect balance of slicing control and tip strength, making it highly versatile for both everyday carry and demanding field use. Coated in a sleek black PVD finish, the blade gains a tactical edge that enhances both wear resistance and visual appeal. This coating reduces glare while adding a layer of durability that’s ready to take on anything from daily tasks to heavy-duty challenges.

The handle is crafted from black canvas micarta, a material favored for its balance of strength, light weight, and improved grip under any conditions. Over time, micarta develops a subtle patina, giving each knife a touch of individuality and character. The ergonomic handle shape ensures a secure, comfortable hold for extended use, while the precision-machined fit between handle and blade speaks to Chaves’ commitment to excellence in every detail.

Deployment is fast and intuitive thanks to the ambidextrous thumb stud, and the sturdy frame lock mechanism secures the blade firmly in place when open. Every component feels purpose-built, engineered to deliver reliability and longevity. For carry, the knife includes a deep-carry pocket clip for discreet placement in the pocket—plus an interchangeable skull pocket clip for those who appreciate Chaves’ distinctive and aggressive flair.

Whether it’s displayed in a collection or carried as a daily companion, the Liberation 229 stands as a modern icon of precision machining and rugged design. Built to perform and made to last, it’s the kind of knife that’s as ready for work as it is for admiration.
