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

The Chaves Blue Label Redencion 229 brings Ramon Chavez’s unmistakable overbuilt design into a full-sized folder that’s built for real work, smooth action, and everyday reliability. Based on the proven Redencion platform, it carries the bold geometry, excellent ergonomics, and rock-solid construction that define the series, now paired with a more classic, work-ready materials package.

The blade is a strong tanto profile crafted from premium ELMAX steel and finished in a clean satin grind. The satin finish highlights the precision of the blade’s geometry while keeping things practical and refined. The tanto tip reinforces strength for piercing tasks, while the straight cutting edge delivers excellent control and slicing capability. ELMAX steel is known for its outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it a dependable choice for hard-use everyday carry. A thumb stud opener and ball bearing pivot work together to deliver fast, smooth, and satisfying one-handed deployment.

The handles are built from green Micarta scales over sturdy steel liners, giving the knife a secure, grippy feel that performs well in a wide range of environments. Micarta is prized for its durability and natural texture, developing a unique patina over time that adds character with use. A reliable liner lock keeps the blade firmly in place during operation, delivering the confidence needed for tougher cutting tasks.

A tip-up pocket clip supports 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 without compromising the knife’s appearance.

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.
