Chaves Knives Black Label Kickstop 229 "Spaceman" Black Tanto Chisel "Star" M390 Blade with "Spaceman" Anodized Titanium Handles

The Chaves Redencion 229 Kickstop Spaceman gives the full-size 229 platform a highly distinctive space-themed treatment built around custom anodized titanium and a matching starfield blade. This configuration pairs a 3.5-inch Bohler M390 chisel-ground tanto blade with a titanium handle featuring detailed astronaut artwork, vivid cosmic color, and contrasting machine-finished hardware.

The tanto blade uses the stout, angular geometry associated with the 229 Kickstop, with a reinforced point and long primary cutting edge suited to demanding utility work. Bohler M390 provides high wear resistance and strong corrosion resistance, while the dark starfield finish carries the Spaceman theme onto the blade with scattered celestial detailing.

The titanium handle serves as the centerpiece of the build. A detailed anodized Spaceman scene covers the show side, with floating astronauts, deep-space color, and fine engraved detail framed by the substantial titanium construction of the 229. The treatment adds a dramatic custom appearance without changing the underlying ergonomics or heavy-duty character of the platform.

Deployment is handled by Lee Williams' Kickstop mechanism, which hides the flipper tab inside the handle once the blade is open. A titanium frame lock secures the blade during use, while machine-finished stainless-steel hardware provides a clean metallic contrast against the elaborate handle artwork and dark blade finish.
