The Chaves Magnetic Integral Redencion 229 Folder Satin Flats Black PVD Tanto is a full-sized manual folder built with authority, precision, and unmistakable Chaves design language. Created under the direction of Chaves Knives and designed by Ramon Chavez, this knife represents the next evolution of the Redencion platform, pairing premium materials with an overbuilt, purpose-driven feel meant for everyday carry.
At the core is a 3.75-inch tanto blade crafted from Böhler M390 steel. Known for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability, M390 is a natural fit for a knife intended to see regular use. The compound grind reinforces strength where it’s needed while maintaining efficient cutting performance along the edge. Finished in black PVD with satin flats, the blade delivers a clean contrast that highlights the geometry while reducing glare and resisting wear. The reinforced tanto tip adds confidence for precision work and tougher cutting tasks.
Deployment is smooth and controlled via dual thumb studs, allowing reliable one-handed operation. The action feels deliberate and solid, matching the knife’s substantial build. Once open, the blade is secured by a robust frame lock that engages firmly, providing dependable lockup and peace of mind during use.
The handle is machined as an integral piece of titanium, giving the knife a monolithic feel that’s both strong and refined. Finished in black PVD, the handle matches the blade for a cohesive, low-profile appearance. A magnetic front scale system allows for simple, tool-free customization, letting users change the look of the knife without compromising structural integrity or fit.
With a 4.44-inch handle length, the Redencion 229 fills the hand naturally and offers excellent leverage and control. At 6.57 ounces, it has a solid, reassuring weight that reflects its overbuilt nature while remaining comfortable for daily carry. Carry is handled by the iconic machined Chaves skull pocket clip, configured for right-hand, tip-up carry and adding a bold visual signature to the knife.
Manufactured in China to Chaves Knives’ exacting specifications, the Redencion 229 delivers premium materials, thoughtful engineering, and unmistakable presence in a knife that’s designed to be carried, used, and appreciated over time.
