The Chaves Blue Label Redencion 229 reflects Ramon Chaves’ unmistakable design language, combining aggressive styling with real-world durability. Known for bold lines and uncompromising build quality, Chaves knives have earned a loyal following among hard-use EDC enthusiasts. This Blue Label version delivers the same recognizable profile and rugged performance while offering a more accessible construction that’s built to be carried and used daily.
Expertly manufactured by Reate, the Redencion 229 benefits from the company’s renowned precision machining and excellent fit and finish. The knife features a 4" Elmax stainless steel spear point blade with a satin and stonewash finish that balances visual appeal with everyday practicality. The satin flats highlight the crisp grind lines, while the stonewashed portions help conceal wear from regular cutting tasks. A flat grind enhances slicing efficiency, and the spear point shape provides excellent tip strength for piercing work and detailed cuts.
Green G-10 handles provide a durable and highly grippy grip surface. This layered fiberglass composite is extremely tough, lightweight, and resistant to moisture and temperature changes, making it a dependable material for everyday carry. Stainless steel liners reinforce the handle construction while maintaining a solid feel in hand.
The liner lock offers reliable lockup, and the bearing pivot ensures smooth, controlled blade deployment. A stainless steel pocket clip supports right-hand tip-up carry, and the included signature skull clip allows owners to swap in the iconic Chaves look. A G-10 backspacer adds strength and visual balance to the handle design.
