Chaves Knives 229 Redencion "Lee Williams Kickstop" Flipper Knife Stonewash Titanium 3.6" Satin Drop Point

???

Great knife, it’s a beast and is fun to fidget with

I have been wanting an overbuilt knife that was still suited to edc. This knife brings so much joy to my day. I can’t help but fidget with it. I have never got on with flippers in the past but liked the look and sound of the kickstop. After about 500 flipper only open/closes, the action became ever smoother. Now with the flipper and a little wrist it shoots out like taco bell. It’s almost drop shutty, it’s a huge bang for buck presentation. I am extremely pleased with this purchase. Another reviewer mentioned that the blade centering was perfect on arrival and after a few days was off. I noticed similar though I haven’t touched the pivot. For me this is a user. On that not the titanium is robust and resistant to scratches. Very inpressed. Also, the scales and jimping are sharp. I loke both. Feels good and looks good to my large/xl glove size hands. Fills my hand about like a Buck110, fwiw.

Overall a great knife! If we are writing a fair review, there are some issues: Out of the box it's a sight to behold, fit and finish are nice, blade is centered, the action is stiff and ideally it will break in over time. A couple of days later and the knife is drop shut smooth, and the action is fantastic, the transfer of power is truly what they describe in the YT reviews, however the blade is noticably off center with slight left to right blade play. Probably at fewer than 100 flips open, with two days in pocket and no actual usage. Also the lock bar is highly susceptible to any pressure being applied, with a detriment to the opening action, so hand positioning, while not unaccommodating is a consideration when opening. This knife is a tank, and EKnives is now my absolute favorite retailer, and I would recommend it, but if you have any reservations I would recommend handling it in person (before going home and going online and ordering from EK??)

I love this knife for the most part it is very very good but it could be excellent. It could be perfect, yes, for me. I'm only missing two mods. Even though this has the Lee Williams kickstop I'd still like the thumb stud to be part of the knife. I fidget with my knives all day long. There are two elements keeping me from doing that with this knife. First it would be a huge help if the screws at the end were countersunk flush to the titanium. And second if that rear corner could be smoothed out just a little bit. I know I mentioned leaving the thumb studs on even when it's the kickstop version but I don't see that as a negative just kind of a wish. Overall a very, very good knife.

It’s probably my favorite knife. I love how it feels and looks. It is at the limit of how heavy I like my knifes but it feels so good

Wow. They took an already great knife and made it even better. If you can, get one!!
