SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Chaves Scapegoat 229 Folding Knife with a Black PVD Spearpoint Blade and Black Canvas Micarta Handle combines tactical precision, durability, and signature Chaves craftsmanship in a compact, formidable design. Built for those who demand performance and style, this knife is a dependable companion for everyday carry, outdoor adventures, or tactical applications. Every detail reflects Ramon Chaves’ commitment to creating knives that are both functional tools and works of art.
At its core, the Scapegoat 229 features a 3.5-inch spearpoint blade made from Elmax steel, a high-performance stainless alloy known for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The spearpoint profile offers a reinforced tip for piercing and controlled cutting, while the primary edge delivers reliable slicing and utility performance. The black PVD coating adds a tactical finish that enhances durability, resists wear, and minimizes glare, giving the knife a sleek, stealthy appearance that performs under demanding conditions.
The handle is made from black canvas micarta, a lightweight and robust material that provides a secure grip in any environment. Micarta’s texture improves with use, and over time, it develops a subtle patina that gives each knife a unique character. Ergonomically designed, the handle ensures comfort and control, reducing fatigue during extended use while maintaining precise handling for detailed tasks.
Deployment is quick and intuitive via the ambidextrous thumb stud, while the solid frame lock ensures the blade remains secure during cutting tasks. The knife comes with a deep-carry pocket clip for discreet, practical everyday carry and includes Chaves’ signature skull pocket clip, offering a bold, customizable look for collectors or tactical users. Every element of the Scapegoat 229—from the precision-machined blade to the durable handle construction—reflects Chaves’ dedication to quality, functionality, and distinctive design.
Whether used in the field, at the worksite, or carried as part of an everyday rotation, the Chaves Scapegoat 229 stands as a versatile, reliable, and visually striking folding knife that balances performance with signature Chaves style.
