Chaves Liberation 229 Folding Knife Black Canvas Micarta Handle SW Tanto Blade CHAV14313

The Chaves Liberation 229 Folding Knife with a Stonewashed Tanto Blade and Black Canvas Micarta Handle embodies the essence of strength, precision, and uncompromising craftsmanship. Built to perform under pressure, this knife is a true workhorse dressed in tactical style. Designed by Ramon Chaves, the Liberation 229 reflects the maker’s signature aesthetic—bold lines, premium materials, and rugged reliability that appeals to collectors and hard-use users alike.

The heart of the knife is its 3.5-inch Elmax steel blade, a high-performance stainless alloy prized for superior edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The tanto blade profile gives the Liberation 229 a powerful, reinforced tip—perfect for piercing and controlled cuts while maintaining excellent slicing capability along its primary edge. The combination stonewash and satin finish not only enhances durability but also gives the blade a rugged, utilitarian look that hides wear from repeated use.

A black canvas micarta handle complements the blade’s performance with equal practicality. Lightweight yet durable, micarta provides a tactile grip that improves with use, even in wet or gloved conditions. The handle’s ergonomic design ensures comfort during extended tasks, while its sturdy construction guarantees years of dependable service. The knife operates with a reliable frame lock that secures the blade firmly in place once deployed, and the ambidextrous thumb stud allows for quick, one-handed opening when the moment calls for it.

For carry, the Liberation 229 comes equipped with a robust pocket clip designed for deep, discreet pocket retention. In true Chaves fashion, it includes an interchangeable skull pocket clip for those who prefer a more aggressive, signature look. Both clips maintain a firm hold, allowing the knife to ride securely and comfortably throughout the day.

Boxed and built to impress, this knife embodies the balance of refined craftsmanship and battle-ready design. Whether you’re looking for a capable everyday carry or a serious addition to your tactical rotation, the Chaves Liberation 229 stands ready to deliver unmatched performance and presence. Carry a knife that works as hard as you do—the Chaves Liberation 229 Tanto from SMKW, the World's Largest Knife Store.
