SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Chaves Sangre 229 Folding Knife with a Black PVD Wharncliffe Blade and Black Canvas Micarta Handle delivers uncompromising performance, tactical style, and precision engineering in a sleek, everyday carry design. Crafted by Ramon Chaves, this knife exemplifies the perfect blend of rugged utility and modern aesthetic, making it a dependable tool for collectors and practical users alike.
At the heart of the Sangre 229 is a 3.63-inch Wharncliffe blade made from Elmax steel, a high-performance stainless alloy known for exceptional edge retention, toughness, and resistance to corrosion. The black PVD coating enhances durability, adds a stealthy tactical finish, and helps protect the blade against wear and corrosion while giving it a bold, modern look. The Wharncliffe profile provides excellent slicing control, making it ideal for precise cutting tasks, detailed work, and everyday utility applications where accuracy matters.
The handle is crafted from black canvas micarta, a material valued for its strength, light weight, and secure grip under all conditions. Over time, the micarta naturally develops a subtle patina, giving the knife a unique character that reflects its use. Its ergonomic shape ensures a comfortable hold, reducing fatigue during extended use while providing optimal control in both forward and reverse grips.
Deployment is smooth and reliable thanks to the ambidextrous thumb stud, while the robust frame lock mechanism keeps the blade securely in place when open. The Sangre 229 also features a deep-carry pocket clip, allowing discreet and practical everyday carry. Every detail—from the precise machining to the solid construction—reflects Chaves’ dedication to crafting knives that are as functional as they are visually striking.
Designed for both tactical use and high-end collection, the Chaves Sangre 229 stands out for its durability, refined construction, and striking black PVD finish. It’s a knife that’s ready for heavy use, yet elegant enough to impress in any setting. Whether it’s deployed for work, adventure, or display, the Sangre 229 represents a premium folding knife that balances cutting-edge performance with signature Chaves design.
