Bitch Clip!! I love it Kev. I don’t know why anybody would care about the skull clip. It has been a part of Ramon’s signature on these designs. I do get why he had to go to the extra p.c. clip. You have to do what you have to to grow your brand.
Totally agree on the forehead screws, but interestingly, I've seen custom 229s (228?) made by hand before the Reate version, and they also had forehead screws. As far as the edge termination goes, I get your concern, but it makes the knife a non-starter for me. That thing is going to grow a smile the first time it's sharpened.
The kickstop is cool but i still want the normal old thumbstud version that i cant get because i only fairly recently have the money for one but nobody has them in stock that i know of
This generation will take some getting used to looking at 😂 no thumb studs, sharpening choil and a koochie klip😂😂 glad I got mine back in the day. I luv my old skool but these aren’t bad at the same time I reckn 👊👊thanks for showing these will be popular as well. Hava awesome week ahead brother keep on keepn on😎🤙🤘👊
@@LeftyEDC I’m surprised the detent doesn’t fire out way harder. I thought that was one of the main benefits of the kickstop; that it gave better leverage relative to the pivot to fire out like a monster. My normal 229 looks like it fires way harder. Good to know tho, saved me the $410
There are plenty of knives I don't like and I don't pay them any mind. But people on FB are butthurt by Chaves. They get a lot of hate and anyone that doesn't like them says "Made in China" even tho they have a lot of models that are made in USA. I love Chaves. The crybabies make me like them even more.
@@LeftyEDC Friction Folders, Veloz, 228s, Megaladon, Full Customs to name ones I am aware of. I have a US made Friction Folder and a 228. I wanna say they have focused more on the UltraMar line and the only thing for sure being made currently are the full customs but there are a lot of Chaves US made knives out there.
I am just not a Chaves guy at all. Especially when the blade is closed. It’s a cool knife when it’s open but, still, but still not something I’d ever carry.
Damn, you spent almost 18 minutes talking about the action, detent, sound & kick stop but never mentioned anything about the usefulness of the knife in the field and how it slices. To top it off, people are bitches if the don't want to use the skull pocket clip.
🤣 first, clearly im joking about the clips. Its just funny, well to some ppl who understand my sarcasm. And second, ive reviewed a ton of 229s and mostly cut tape and cardboard so im not the channel for cutting performance information. I recommend checking out Stassa 23 or Neeves Knives for detailed cutting information. Im definitely an action guy. Its just my opinion as well, so if you like the other clip, I’m glad! Hope this helps explain

If you don't like the skull clip you don't deserve a Chaves
I took my 228 apart and cleaned it up yesterday.
It'd been entirely too long.
The Ti looks so much better all clean now.
These look amazing and they have the coolest knife clip ever!
It’s a love hate thing living ten minutes away from EKnives!!
Very nice. I just bought the 229 street thumb stud titanium one though. Thanks for showing these.
Never owned one but they sure are fine looking knives. Thanks!
Gotta be the Sangre for me. I will wait. Thanks for the look Kev.
Best edc I own. Love it. All ti drop point
Kickstop looks so awesome
Loving the hidden flipper like chaves with skull clip😢
The kickstop is cool but i still want the normal old thumbstud version that i cant get because i only fairly recently have the money for one but nobody has them in stock that i know of
I love em. Great looking knives and no Hotspot sounds great. I do have large hands do you think I'd be alright? I love the look.
If ur a 2XL it might suck
Could you swap the titanium scale to the g10 scale and keep the one with the better kick stop?
Probably. I already sent them back
Thanks for showing Kev 😎
This generation will take some getting used to looking at 😂 no thumb studs, sharpening choil and a koochie klip😂😂 glad I got mine back in the day. I luv my old skool but these aren’t bad at the same time I reckn 👊👊thanks for showing these will be popular as well. Hava awesome week ahead brother keep on keepn on😎🤙🤘👊
Couple of beauties. Thanks Kevin
Lmao good laugh…definitely looks better with out the screws
Why do the kickstop knives at blade hq have a thumbstud?
Placeholders
Kev, Kickstop vs JCape 3.5? Thanx
Jcape hands down
@@LeftyEDC Done, 3.5 in the mail tomorrow. Thanks for your time. Rich
B**** clip was on point! 😂
Why would you want to remove such a beautiful detail well-designed clip!?
When do these drop? No one has them yet.
No idea haha
Still think he should’ve made the screws the eyes on the clip. Dunno y u hate the plain clips sp much tho
Its just funny 😂

@@CloudyShinobi just like anything its the detent strength. So some are better than others. The G10 one is 💰. The ti one a little sluggish

What do they make in the US?

@@RipleyandSwoo yea i meant now. Haven’t seen much. But thats cool

Still got both that u sold me.
Sick
So happy to see No Thumbstuds 🤩 💀
They need a fat carbon version
Apparently Steel Addiction did some
I love how you refer to the extra clip as a bitch cilp because that is most definitely what it is great video man 👍
I know it’s crazy, but not everyone wants to look like a Call of Duty douchelord with their knock-off Chaves.
They are foola
7-8 Oz in Ti? GTFOH 😄

Forehead screws. Hard pass.
If you're over 25 with skull clips, it's time to grow up...
Nah bro. Wrong attitude. This is the one exception to the skull rule 🤣
Tell that to Ramon Chaves 😂
Honestly the 🐈 clip might look better than the forehead screws.🫣 To be clear, I'd rather the skull clip without forehead screws.
100%. Skull clip without forehead screws
@@giantfatberg agreed.
🐈 clip 😂
Not a flipper only guy but I like the fact it's thinner. Needs the choil too. Grinds are good but looks a little strange.
