The action is silky smooth with a strong lockup, ZERO blade play, and drop shutty. Knives that cost 3 times as much don’t work this well, especially at this price-point. The Chaves Scapegoat 229 is a robust, overbuilt folding knife designed by Ramon Chaves and primarily manufactured by Reate. It adapts the brand’s traditionally boxy styling into a highly ergonomic, hand-hugging design intended for heavy daily use without a massive price tag.
