CAMR229BLDPXLGYB: Redencion 229 Blue Label Drop Point X-Lock Folding Knife - Black/Gray Aluminum

Chaves Knives

The Chaves Knives Blue Label line is designed to make Ramon Chavez's iconic designs more accessible while maintaining exceptional quality and performance. Produced by Reate Knives, the Blue Label series brings Chaves Knives' legendary craftsmanship and style to a wider audience at a more value-friendly price point.

This Blue Label Redencion 229 variant retains the same iconic design as its titanium predecessor but introduces a more budget-conscious build. It features a stainless steel frame with an X-Lock (crossbar lock) mechanism, lightweight aluminum scales for a comfortable grip, and a razor-sharp D2 tool steel blade. The drop point blade, combined with the excellent ergonomics of the squared-off handle, makes this knife a hard-use workhorse ready for any challenge.

Despite the value-oriented materials, the action, fit, and finish are every bit as refined as you'd expect from a Ramon Chavez knife. The blade deploys lightning-fast using the dual thumb studs, and the build quality mirrors that of higher-priced models. Complete with an aluminum backspacer and Ramon’s signature skull pocket clip, also included in the box along with the standard one, the Blue Label Redencion 229 X-Lock offers incredible performance at an unbeatable price.

For those who have long admired Ramon Chavez’s work, the Blue Label series is an outstanding way to own a piece of his legacy without compromise.

Good but not like you would hope
The knife is well made by Reate and I enjoy a few of their oem knives. This one is well made but it feels like a green pine cone in your hand. I must have got buck fever when I ordered it because I got the black DLC version and would have preferred the non coated version. Everything else about it is good. I just don't see this as a piece I will use very long. I got this over the Boker Kihon in aluminum scales and regret it. I'll be back for that once my wallet recovers. Knife Center was fantastic as usual.
