Chaves Redencion 229 Blue Label Linerlock Folding Knife PVD Tanto/Green Micarta CK-1A2-2C2A-4C1-2B

The Chaves Blue Label Redencion 229 brings Ramon Chavez’s unmistakable overbuilt design language into a full-sized folder that’s ready for real work and serious everyday carry. Built on the foundation of the celebrated full titanium Redencion, this version keeps the aggressive lines, outstanding ergonomics, and rock-solid construction that define the Chaves name while delivering a setup that feels both rugged and practical in the hand.

The blade is a tough tanto profile crafted from premium ELMAX steel and finished in a durable black PVD coating. This finish adds abrasion resistance and a stealthy, low-profile look while protecting the blade through hard use. The tanto shape reinforces the tip for piercing strength while maintaining a straight cutting edge that excels at controlled slicing tasks. ELMAX steel is known for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it a dependable choice for demanding daily carry. The thumb stud opener and ball bearing pivot work together to deliver fast, smooth, and addictive deployment with every flick.

The handles are built with green Micarta scales over sturdy steel liners, giving the knife a secure, grippy feel that performs well in a wide range of conditions. Micarta is known for its durability and evolving character, gradually developing a unique patina with use that adds personality over time. A reliable liner lock keeps the blade firmly secured during operation, providing confidence in heavier cutting tasks.

Carry is simple and versatile with a tip-up pocket clip set up for right-side carry. The knife includes both a traditional clip and the signature Chaves skull clip for added customization. For those who prefer left-side carry, the liner is pre-drilled and the scale includes subtle guide divots that allow for easy clip reversal while preserving the clean overall design.

The Chaves Blue Label series brings Ramon Chavez’s iconic, overbuilt knives to a wider audience without compromising on premium materials or rugged construction. These are knives built to be used hard and carried daily.
