Chaves Redencion 229 Blue Label Linerlock Folding Knife PVD Drop Point/Blue G-10 CK-1A2-1C2A-4C1-5F

The Chaves Blue Label Redencion 229 brings Ramon Chavez’s unmistakable overbuilt design language into a full-sized folder that’s made for hard use, smooth action, and everyday dependability. Built on the proven Redencion platform, it retains the bold geometry, outstanding ergonomics, and rock-solid construction that have made this pattern a standout among serious users and collectors alike.

The blade is a classic drop point profile crafted from premium ELMAX steel and finished in a durable black PVD coating. This finish adds extra wear resistance and a low-profile tactical look while helping the blade stand up to demanding daily tasks. The drop point shape offers excellent versatility, with a strong tip for controlled piercing and a long, sweeping edge that excels at slicing and general cutting work. ELMAX steel is known for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it a trusted choice for real-world carry. A thumb stud opener paired with a ball bearing pivot ensures fast, fluid, and consistently smooth deployment.

The handles are built from blue G-10 scales over solid steel liners, delivering a lightweight yet extremely durable frame that’s ready for daily abuse. The textured G-10 provides a secure grip in a variety of conditions, while the liner lock keeps the blade firmly secured during use. The overall feel is balanced, strong, and purpose-built for dependable performance.

Carry is handled by a tip-up pocket clip set up for right-side carry, and the knife includes both a standard clip and the signature Chaves skull clip for added customization. For left-side carry, the liner is pre-drilled and the scale features subtle guide divots that allow for clean clip relocation while maintaining the knife’s sleek profile.

The Chaves Blue Label series brings Ramon Chavez’s iconic overbuilt designs to a wider audience while maintaining premium blade steel, rugged construction, and everyday functionality that refuses to compromise.
