The Chaves Redencion 229 is a full-size everyday carry folder that combines premium materials, hard-use construction, and the unmistakable design language of Ramon Chavez. Bold, purposeful, and built to perform, this knife delivers the kind of rugged capability that serious users expect from one of the most recognizable names in modern knife design.
At the heart of the Redencion 229 is a 3.50-inch drop point blade crafted from premium Elmax steel. Known for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, Elmax is a top-tier stainless steel that holds up exceptionally well under demanding use. The compound grind enhances cutting performance by balancing slicing efficiency with strength, while the black-coated finish gives the blade a stealthy appearance and an added layer of protection. From everyday utility tasks to tougher cutting jobs, this blade is designed to work hard and stay sharp.
Manual thumb stud deployment provides smooth, controlled opening with a satisfying, deliberate action. Once open, the steel liner lock engages securely to keep the blade firmly in place during use. The result is a dependable folding knife you can trust when the work gets serious.
The 4.63-inch green micarta handle offers a comfortable, secure grip and develops character over time as it wears in. Micarta is highly regarded for its durability and excellent traction, especially in wet or demanding conditions. Paired with a sturdy steel liner, the handle gives the knife a solid feel in hand and the strength needed for heavy-duty tasks.
At 8.13 inches overall and weighing 6.03 ounces, the Redencion 229 has a substantial presence without feeling cumbersome. It's large enough to tackle tough jobs with confidence while remaining practical for daily carry. The right-hand manual design stays true to the straightforward, purpose-driven approach that defines the Redencion line.
Manufactured in China to Chaves Knives' strict quality standards, the Redencion 229 delivers premium materials, proven performance, and iconic styling in one formidable package.
