Spyderco’s lineup is full of quality knives that feature handles of every color. But, there isn’t really any model that has particularly beautiful handles. The Spyderco Chaparral is the knife that changes all of that. This knife features not only beautiful handles, but also a fair price tag. The Spyderco Chaparral is certainly a knife that would look great in your collection.
The handles on the Chapparal are show stoppers. They were designed by Raffir Noble in Denmark and feature copper and brass mesh encased in a smoked, yet translucent, acrylic. This design gives the appearance of beautiful ruffles of orange and yellow.
This model has a lockback design, so there aren’t any odd lines in the artistic handles. Even the pocket clip is a wire design for maximum display of the handles.
The Chaparral’s CTS-XHP steel blade is cutting edge – literally. This sharp blade utilizes a premium steel that’s not often found on the market. This steel has very similar properties to D2 tool steel, but with greater edge retention and corrosion resistance. The blade is a standard Spyderco drop point, but this model has a flat grind to it which makes the chaparral capable of accomplishing most tasks required of an EDC with ease.
