Chaves Redencion 229 vs Chris Reeve Umnumzaan

If money is no object, then sure. I've had a couple of Zaans, I just don't get the hype so they both ended up moving to new homes. For me a tanto Inkosi is the sweet spot CRK

Yeah I absolutely love my large inkosi insingo and plan on grabbing a tanto in the future.

I use my tanto Zaan for just about everything, including food prep. I do agree, the drop point is much better for that task but the tanto gets the job done when necessary. Absolutely love my Zaan.

Great response by the way, thanks for contributing here

The Tanto looks cooler in my opinion as well so you have that going for you!

I love my Chaves knives however, I’m not sure of others experiences but Reate’s M390 is ridiculously chippy in the beginning.

My experience with Reate M390 has not be excellent too
I way prefer s45vn and magnacut from CRK, at least for a user.

I have a few Chaves and love the designs. Plus, a Reate made knife is worth experiencing. The Reeves is tried and true but I won't own one until I learn has to prounce the name. Actually, I'm after an Inkosi, but the availability of the knife and my funds haven't coincided yet.

Good luck on your hunt. You’ll absolutely love it when you get one in hand

WOW! I'm a Chavez fan, own several, even have one on me now. But I'm shocked that a vs discussion exists between these two.

These are my two favorite brands and I have a lot of $$$ into both collections so I’ve always been curious on people’s opinions. A Zaan vs Chaves battle isn’t something I could find anywhere so figured I’d start one here.

Oom-noom-zaan. Now I guess you gotta get one
