Chaves Ultramar Liberation 229 Satin Tanto Compound Grind Stonewash Titanium Handle 229/LT/SWTI/BF

Chaves Ultramar knives from Ramon Chavez are manufactured in China by Reate Knives and aimed to bring his amazing knives to a wider audience base. There are a variety of different models including a production Street version of his famous Redencion knife that is iconic in the knife world. Each features his signature titanium skull pocket clip, an inlaid titanium presentation scale, a replaceable lockbar insert, and a belt satin Bohler M390 blade. They are perfect for everyday carry and Reate has managed to recreate Ramon's incredible action perfectly so they flip just like the real thing!

This Liberation 229 is a variation of the Redencion model but with a more slender blade and handle profile. The slender drop point blade is paired with a squared-off stonewashed titanium handle that is designed for easy carry. The frame lock features a replaceable lockbar insert and the knife is complete with a partial titanium backspacer. If Ramon Chavez has been on your wish list for a while but remains outside your price point, then check out a Chaves Ultramar. For the money, there isn't a better mid-tech type production knife that we can think of.
