Chaves Red Label Integral Brad Blount Arrestor 229 Folder Stonewash TI Bright SW DLC Sheepsfoot BB-16A1-8G1A-11A0-KBL!

The Chaves Red Label Integral Brad Blount Arrestor 229 Folder is a no-nonsense cutting tool that blends premium construction with the bold styling Chaves Knives has become known for. Designed around Brad Blount's Arrestor 229 pattern, this folder is built to handle serious work while delivering the clean lines and rock-solid feel that enthusiasts and collectors expect from an integral design.

The foundation of this knife is its Red Label integral construction. Machined from a single piece of titanium, the handle creates an incredibly rigid frame with fewer moving parts and exceptional structural strength. The stonewashed titanium finish gives it a rugged, broken-in appearance that stands up well to the scratches and scuffs of everyday carry. It's a finish that's meant to be used, not babied.

At the business end is a 3.5-inch sheepsfoot blade finished in bright stonewashed DLC. The combination creates a unique look that balances modern style with hard-use practicality. The sheepsfoot profile offers outstanding edge control and plenty of cutting power for utility tasks, detailed work, and everyday slicing. With a robust 0.15-inch blade thickness, the Arrestor 229 has the strength to take on demanding jobs while maintaining the precision that makes this blade shape so versatile.

Dual thumb studs provide fast, reliable one-handed deployment, keeping the knife ready whenever the job calls. Once open, the framelock delivers the kind of dependable lockup that's become a hallmark of high-end titanium folders. The mechanism is simple, strong, and built to inspire confidence through years of repeated use.

Sized for serious performance, the Arrestor 229 measures 8.25 inches overall with a 4.75-inch closed length, giving you a full-hand grip without sacrificing carry comfort. The tip-up pocket clip keeps the knife secure and accessible, while the 5.7-ounce weight provides the substantial feel expected from a premium integral folder.

The Chaves Red Label Integral Brad Blount Arrestor 229 is more than just another everyday carry knife. It's a purpose-built tool that combines innovative construction, premium materials, and a design language that refuses to blend into the crowd. Whether it's riding in your pocket for daily tasks or taking a place in a serious collection, this folder is built to perform and built to last.
