The new Kick-Stop version of the infamous 229 Redencion is here and WOW does it have a clean look.
Chaves Ultramar folders are heavy-duty cutting tools with great ergonomics and stylish, straight-forward designs. Manufactured by Reate Knives, the Chaves Ultramar series offers Ramon's custom designs to a wider audience at a great price.
Lee Williams implemented his Kickstop opening mechanism on this knife. While it looks like a standard flipper tab, the setup is quite unique. The tab itself is not a part of the blade tang, and is instead attached to the frame by a separate pin. This means that when the blade is closed the tab sticks out from the spine in the normal place, but after the knife opens, it rotates on its pin to conceal itself within the handle leaving a sleek, classy look. Its a true aesthetics game changer.
As with all current Chaves models, if the Skull clip is not your thing, this knife also comes with a plain, simple titanium clip as well.
