Chaves Redencion 229 Blue Label Linerlock Folding Knife Satin Tanto/Black Micarta CK-1A2-2B2A-1C0-1B

The Chaves Blue Label Redencion 229 delivers the unmistakable attitude and overbuilt performance Ramon Chavez is known for, now paired with materials that bring a classic working-knife feel. Built on the foundation of the legendary full titanium Redencion design, this full-sized folder keeps the bold lines, outstanding ergonomics, and rock-solid construction that made the pattern a standout among serious everyday carry knives.

The blade is a striking tanto profile crafted from premium ELMAX steel and finished in a clean belt satin grind that highlights its precision machining. The tanto shape provides exceptional tip strength and piercing ability, while the straight cutting edge offers excellent slicing performance for everyday work. ELMAX steel is prized for its outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, giving this knife the durability needed for demanding daily use. Deployment is smooth and satisfying thanks to the thumb stud opener, while the ball bearing pivot ensures fast, fluid action every time the blade swings open.

The handles are built with rugged black Micarta scales over sturdy steel liners, creating a handle that feels secure, comfortable, and ready for real-world tasks. Micarta develops character over time, gaining a unique patina with use while maintaining excellent grip in a variety of conditions. A reliable liner lock holds the blade firmly in place during use, delivering the strength and confidence expected from a hard-working folding knife.

For carry, the knife includes a tip-up pocket clip configured for right-side carry, and it ships with both a traditional clip and the signature Chaves skull clip so you can choose the style that fits your preference. The left liner is pre-drilled, and the reverse scale includes small guide divots that allow users to add holes for left-side clip placement while preserving the clean look of the handle.

The Chaves Blue Label series brings Ramon Chavez’s bold, overbuilt designs to a wider audience without cutting corners, still delivering premium blade steel and durable construction that stands up to serious use.
