Description
Chaparral is a shrub native to the Western United States with the unique ability to perennially survive, revive and regenerate after being destroyed by fire or drought. Like seasons, it returns year after year. It's also what Spyderco calls a new and continuing series of gentlemen's folders.
Mid-sized Chaparral folders will have identical blade and handle profiles but showcase various handle materials. Handle options will be chosen for their elegant appearance and functional utility with a focus directed at making the Chaparral series unique as well as a top contender in the gentleman's knife genre.
This stunning example of the Spyderco Chaparral showcases genuine birdseye maple scales and the dramatic grain pattern characteristic of this wood. All other features are consistent with the Chaparral platform, including a full-flat-ground CTS XHP stainless steel blade, stainless steel liners, a sturdy back lock mechanism, and a reversible deep-pocket wire clip.
Attached to the ultra-slim handle, a left-right, tip-up clip arranges the knife deeply inside a pocket. Carpenter Technology Co. produces the CTS XHP powdered steel used for the leaf-shaped blade. The blade is ground full-flat and offered PlainEdged for the best available cutting performance with non-skid jimping located at both the spine and choil.
