SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Chaves Magnetic Integral Redencion 229 Folder Belt Finish Drop Point is a full-sized manual folder built with authority, precision, and unmistakable Chaves character. As the largest iteration of the Redencion design, this knife delivers a commanding presence while maintaining the refinement and control expected from a premium everyday carry. Designed by Ramon Chavez and produced under the banner of Chaves Knives, the Redencion 229 stands as a benchmark for overbuilt, performance-driven folders.
The blade measures 3.75 inches and is crafted from Böhler M390 steel, a high-end steel known for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. The drop point profile offers a versatile cutting edge with strong tip control, while the compound grind balances slicing efficiency with added strength. A clean satin finish highlights the blade’s geometry and reinforces the knife’s refined, professional appearance.
Deployment is smooth and deliberate via a thumb stud opener, allowing easy one-handed operation. The action feels controlled and confident, matching the knife’s substantial build. Once open, the blade is secured by a robust frame lock that engages solidly, preventing unintentional closure and reinforcing trust during demanding cutting tasks.
What truly sets this Redencion 229 apart is its integral titanium handle construction. Machined from a single piece of titanium, the handle delivers exceptional strength and rigidity while maintaining a clean, seamless profile. The belt finish adds subtle texture and visual depth without detracting from the knife’s purposeful design. A magnetic front scale system allows for simple, interchangeable customization, offering flexibility without compromising structural integrity.
At 6.57 ounces, the Redencion 229 has a solid, reassuring weight that reflects its overbuilt nature while remaining comfortable in hand. The 4.44-inch handle fills the grip naturally, providing excellent leverage and control. Carry is handled by the iconic machined Chaves skull pocket clip, configured for tip-up carry, with an additional standard titanium clip included for those who prefer a more understated look.
Built for everyday carry but capable of far more, the Chaves Magnetic Integral Redencion 229 Folder delivers premium materials, thoughtful engineering, and unmistakable design in a knife that’s meant to be used, carried, and appreciated for the long haul.
Please note: That the interchangeable handle scales are only available at Chaves Knives website.
