The Chaves Liberation Street 229 Blue Label Linerlock Folding Knife brings Ramon Chaves’ unmistakable industrial design into a hard-use everyday carry platform with a tactical edge. It features a 3.5" tanto blade crafted from premium Elmax stainless steel with a black PVD-coated finish, delivering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and a clean, low-reflection look. The reinforced tanto tip enhances piercing strength while maintaining durability, making it well-suited for demanding cutting tasks and utility work.
Ambidextrous thumb studs allow smooth, reliable deployment from either hand, while a sturdy stainless steel linerlock engages firmly once the blade is open. The action is crisp and controlled, offering fast access without sacrificing lockup security or long-term dependability.
Charcoal Gray G-10 handle scales provide a tough, textured grip that performs well across a wide range of conditions. The material offers confident control in hand while keeping the overall build balanced for everyday carry. At 4.5" closed and 6 ounces, the Liberation Street 229 carries with a solid, substantial feel that still remains practical for pocket use.
A stainless steel pocket clip comes installed for standard carry, and Chaves’ iconic skull clip is also included for those who prefer a more aggressive, signature aesthetic. Both options allow easy customization between a discreet profile and a more expressive carry style.
The Blue Label series from Chaves Knives is designed to bring Ramon Chaves’ iconic designs to a broader audience while preserving the fit, finish, and performance the brand is known for. Produced by Reate Knives, the lineup emphasizes precision machining, durable materials, and bold design language at a more accessible price point.
