The Chaves Scapegoat 229 is a bold, hard-use folder that combines aggressive styling with premium materials and everyday practicality. Part of the Chaves Blue Label series, this knife delivers the unmistakable design influence of Ramon Chavez in a robust production platform that's built to handle real work. With its OD green G10 handle and blackout spear point blade, the Scapegoat 229 brings a rugged tactical look to a highly capable everyday carry knife.
The 3.8-inch spear point blade is made from premium Elmax steel, a high-performance stainless known for outstanding edge retention, excellent corrosion resistance, and dependable toughness. Whether you're opening packages, cutting rope, or tackling more demanding tasks, Elmax provides long-lasting performance with less frequent sharpening. The black-coated finish gives the blade a low-profile appearance while adding an extra layer of protection against wear and the elements.
Manual thumb stud deployment offers fast, controlled opening with a smooth and confident action. Once the blade is in position, the liner lock engages securely to provide a strong and reliable lockup. This straightforward design makes the Scapegoat 229 easy to operate and dependable under hard use.
The 4.6-inch OD green G10 handle is built for durability and comfort. G10 is favored for its lightweight strength, moisture resistance, and excellent grip in all conditions. The ergonomic handle shape provides a secure hold and plenty of control, making the knife feel substantial and capable in hand without becoming overly heavy.
At 8.4 inches overall and weighing 5.0 ounces, the Scapegoat 229 strikes an excellent balance between full-size cutting power and everyday carry convenience. A tip-up pocket clip supports both left- and right-hand carry, and a standard clip is included for those who prefer a cleaner, more understated look.
Manufactured in China to Chaves Knives' demanding standards, the Scapegoat 229 offers premium materials, rugged construction, and distinctive design in a folder that's ready for anything.
