Chaves knives from Ramon Chavez are manufactured in China by Reate Knives 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, 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!
The Sangre 229 is a different animal altogether from Ramon Chavez with utility functionality at the forefront of its design. If you're looking for something from Ramon, but not his Redencion or its similar Liberation brother, the Sangre is the model for you. It pairs a Wharncliffe blade with a slender, tapered titanium handle that is reminiscent of Ramon's famed 228 design. It's wildly comfortable, even with its squared-off edges, and you get an extremely solid grip on this robust folder. The frame lock features a replaceable lockbar insert/overtravel arrestor 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 Knives. For the money, there isn't a better mid-tech type production knife that we can think of.
