SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Chaves Magnetic Integral Redencion 229 Folder Grey PVD Titanium is a full-sized manual folder that delivers bold presence, premium materials, and unmistakable Chaves design in a purpose-built everyday carry. Built under the direction of Chaves Knives and designed by Ramon Chavez, this knife reflects the brand’s signature overbuilt aesthetic paired with precise modern manufacturing.
At the core of the Redencion 229 is a 3.75-inch tanto blade crafted from Böhler M390 steel. Known for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall durability, M390 is a proven choice for a premium EDC blade. The compound grind adds strength where it’s needed while maintaining effective cutting performance, and the gray PVD finish gives the blade a clean, uniform appearance that resists wear and reduces glare. The reinforced tanto tip enhances control and strength for more demanding cutting tasks.
The blade deploys smoothly via dual thumb studs, allowing confident one-handed operation. The action feels deliberate and controlled, matching the knife’s substantial build. Once open, a robust frame lock engages securely to prevent accidental closure, offering the solid lockup expected from a knife of this caliber.
The handle is where this Redencion truly stands apart. Machined as an integral piece of titanium, the handle offers exceptional strength and rigidity with a seamless, monolithic feel. Finished in matching gray PVD, the handle complements the blade while adding durability and a cohesive look. A magnetic front scale system allows for easy, tool-free customization, letting the user change the knife’s appearance without sacrificing structural integrity.
At 6.57 ounces, the Redencion 229 has a solid, reassuring weight that reflects its overbuilt nature while remaining comfortable for daily carry. The 4.44-inch handle fills the hand naturally, providing excellent leverage and control. Carry is handled by the iconic machined Chaves skull pocket clip, set up for right-hand, tip-up carry and adding a bold visual signature to the knife.
Manufactured in China to Chaves Knives’ specifications, the Redencion 229 combines premium materials, thoughtful engineering, and aggressive design into a folder that feels intentional and uncompromising. It’s a knife built for those who want a commanding EDC with distinctive style and dependable performance.
