Chaves Redencion 229 Blue Label Linerlock Folding Knife PVD Tanto/Blue G-10 CK-1A2-2B2A-1C0-5F

The Chaves Blue Label Redencion 229 delivers Ramon Chavez’s unmistakable overbuilt styling in a full-sized folder designed for hard use, smooth action, and everyday confidence. Built on the proven Redencion platform, it keeps the bold geometry, excellent ergonomics, and rock-solid construction that define the design, while pairing it with a clean, modern colorway that stands out without sacrificing toughness.

The blade is a strong tanto profile crafted from premium ELMAX steel and finished in a durable black PVD coating. This finish adds extra wear resistance and a sleek, low-profile look that holds up well through heavy cutting tasks. The tanto geometry reinforces the tip for superior piercing strength, while the straight primary edge gives you excellent control and slicing efficiency. ELMAX is widely respected for its edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it a dependable choice for serious everyday carry. A thumb stud opener and ball bearing pivot combine for fast, smooth, and satisfying deployment every time.

The handles are built from blue G-10 scales over solid steel liners, creating a lightweight yet extremely durable frame that’s ready for daily abuse. The textured G-10 provides a secure, confident grip in a wide range of conditions, while the liner lock ensures the blade stays firmly in place during use. The overall feel is balanced, solid, and built for real-world performance.

Carry is handled by a tip-up pocket clip configured for right-side carry. The knife includes both a standard clip and the signature Chaves skull clip, giving you options for personal style. For left-side carry users, the liner is pre-drilled and the scale includes subtle guide divots to allow for easy clip relocation without compromising the clean design.

The Chaves Blue Label series brings Ramon Chavez’s iconic, overbuilt designs to a broader audience while maintaining premium materials, strong construction, and everyday reliability.
