What steel does the Chaves Knives x Brad Blount Arrestor 229 Gray PVD use?
The Chaves Knives x Brad Blount Arrestor 229 Gray PVD uses Böhler M390, a powder-metallurgy stainless steel known for excellent edge retention, high corrosion resistance and a fine edge. It is one of the most popular premium steels for EDC folding knives.
What is an integral knife?
An integral knife has its handle machined from one solid piece of material instead of separate scales screwed to liners. On the Chaves Knives x Brad Blount Arrestor 229 Gray PVD, the handle and frame lock are a single piece of titanium, which makes the knife stiff, durable and clean-looking with fewer parts to loosen. That extra machining is also why integral knives cost more than standard folders.
How do the magnetic inlays work on the Chaves Knives x Brad Blount Arrestor 229 Gray PVD?
The Chaves Knives x Brad Blount Arrestor 229 Gray PVD is part of Chaves Knives' magnetic integral line. Chaves offers titanium inlays for the Arrestor 229 with three magnets on the underside that attach to the integral body, along with titanium pocket clips and hardware, so you can change the look of your knife without tools.
What lock does the Chaves Knives x Brad Blount Arrestor 229 Gray PVD use?
The Chaves Knives x Brad Blount Arrestor 229 Gray PVD uses a frame lock: part of the titanium handle springs behind the blade tang when the knife is open, holding it locked. Press the lock bar to the side to close the knife. It opens with a flipper tab and thumb stud.
What is the Gray PVD finish on the Chaves Knives x Brad Blount Arrestor 229?
PVD (physical vapor deposition) bonds a thin, hard ceramic coating to the steel and titanium. The gray PVD finish adds scratch and corrosion resistance and gives the knife a subdued gunmetal look. On the Chaves Knives x Brad Blount Arrestor 229 Gray PVD, the finish is applied to the blade and titanium integral handle as a matched set.
