What is Chaves Knives Blue Label?
Blue Label is Chaves Knives' line built to bring high-quality materials at a more affordable price — knives meant to be used hard every day. The Chaves Knives Blue Label Sangre Street Black PVD uses the same Chaves designs with ELMAX steel, black Micarta scales and a liner lock in place of titanium frame lock construction.
What steel does the Chaves Knives Blue Label Sangre Street Black PVD use?
The Chaves Knives Blue Label Sangre Street Black PVD uses ELMAX, a Böhler-Uddeholm powder-metallurgy stainless steel with very good edge retention and corrosion resistance that is still reasonable to sharpen. It is a premium steel for a knife at the Blue Label price point.
What is a wharncliffe blade?
A Wharncliffe blade has a straight cutting edge with a spine that curves down to meet it at the tip. The straight edge gives you a controlled, precise point for detail cuts, opening boxes and everyday utility tasks. The Chaves Knives Blue Label Sangre Street Black PVD uses a 3.50" wharncliffe blade.
What is the difference between the Sangre Street and the Sangre 229?
The two are the same Chaves design in different sizes. The Chaves Knives Blue Label Sangre Street has a 3.50" blade, 4.25" handle and 7.75" overall length; the Blue Label Sangre 229 has a 3.50" blade, 4.50" handle and 8.00" overall length. In Chaves' lineup, "229" is the larger size and "Street" is the more compact everyday-carry size.
Can you change the scales on the Chaves Knives Blue Label Sangre Street Black PVD?
Yes — the Chaves Knives Blue Label Sangre Street Black PVD is designed for swappable scales. Remove every screw except the pivot to take off the black Micarta scales and install a new pair. The backspacer can also be rotated 180 degrees to use it as a lanyard hole.
What lock does the Chaves Knives Blue Label Sangre Street Black PVD use?
The Chaves Knives Blue Label Sangre Street Black PVD uses a liner lock: a spring section of the steel liner moves behind the blade tang when the knife opens, holding the blade in place. Push the liner to the side with your thumb to close it. The knife opens with a flipper tab.
