Chaves Knives x Brad Blount Arrestor 229

The Chaves Knives Arrestor 229 is a robust folding knife born from a partnership between Ramon Chaves and custom knifemaker Brad Blount, serving as a key addition to the Chaves Collaboration Series. This model blends Blount’s distinct ergonomic styling with the overbuilt, hard-use DNA that defines the Chaves brand. As part of the Red Label series, the Arrestor 229 highlights the brand’s elevated focus on premium materials, precise tolerances, and refined finishes.

A central feature of the design is its integral titanium handle. Machined from a single, solid block of titanium rather than two separate scales fastened together with a backspacer, this construction eliminates traditional seam lines and potential points of failure. The result is a unified, structurally rigid chassis that offers a clean aesthetic and a solid feel in the hand.

The blade features an aggressive sheepsfoot profile made from Bohler M390 steel, a premium alloy chosen for its high wear resistance and long-lasting edge retention. It deploys smoothly on a ceramic ball-bearing pivot, offering two deployment options via the flipper tab or the dual thumb studs. Lockup is secure and consistent, utilized through a titanium frame lock equipped with a hardened steel lockbar insert to prevent wear over time.

The Arrestor 229 also incorporates a magnetic presentation scale on the show side, giving the knife a clean, hardware-free look while maintaining structural stability. Completed with a titanium pocket clip, this collaboration delivers a highly functional cutting tool built with a focus on structural integrity and manufacturing precision.
