I bought the chaparral and it is my first Spyderco. The feel, look, handling and sounds really are difficult to describe but all i can say is they are special. I truly love my chaparral and I also have a yojimbo 2 coming and I feel i am going to have a great life with these 2 Spyderco's!!!

Really glad you like the knife mate, Told you it was sharp, FYI that's a 13,000grit finish off my edge pro apex. Looking forward to the cut testing. Shameless plug but I do sharpen the odd knife for people on the side.... Happy to see the raffle win go your way.

Luck to score that Chaparral off 2 tickets!! Jealous... I love the Chaparral...the shape and size and mainly the thinness of the blade... I feel like if it had a compression lock it would be perfect... the back lock makes it not as easy to flick open and close one handed smoothly... Btw.. Do you actually EDC knives? Im in Sydney and am scared to get charged or even have a nice knife confiscated... everyone Ive asked in Australian forums has no reponse... no one seems to know whats allowed... Legally its not allowed... but Ive known one older gentleman from the country whos carried a buck style lock back all his life... proudly on his waist...Not an issue for him...

I love this review... funny thing is when I 1st looked at it I was thinking MMnnaaaaa! Not interested another leaf shape lockback ... then they came out with a Raffir Noble... so I bought one with the cool scales... when I started to carry it and use it I was “amazed” at the performance of this little knife. Great review... I also really dig this knife!

I just ordered one yesterday. It's very lightly used, but I paid only $75.00 in an eBay auction, so I got a steal! Can't wait to try it. Great reviews on your channel and I appreciate your sense of style. It seems like you are going to make me very poor in the coming months. Thanks.

I've had a Chappy and you are right, it's an extremely good slicer and upscale EDC. It's almost a shame that I don't have need for such a knife...

[@marekmasar5216]

I have it at 13° per side and it's the sharpest thing I have as well.. But it could be little bit thinner behind the edge.. From factory comes at .010 ,I can imagine it to be half of that🙏 but still best slicer I have as well

[@Gpknives]

Great review! Really looking forward to the FRN version being talked about on the Spyderco forums. Light weight, low price high performance FTW.

[@johnbowen5336]

What did your friend use to sharpen that? Looks very much like a guided system edge, finished with the strops or lapping films.

[@333turdferguson]

I've thought about buying one of these for a while. It's silly, but I'm just not a huge fan of the shiny CF. It might make a good secondary knife to a full sized fixed blade on hiking and camping trips.

I just got a Chaparral last

[@frenchieedc7602]

It's my all time favorite knife for urban EDC, i simply LOVE this knife !

[@JayBradford]

I've had one for years and use it as an EDC when I wear a suit. Love mine.

[@petergalione9704]

I love my Chaparral!

[@CSGraves]

Hey, have you gotten to try the Spyderco Nilakka? Curious how it and the Chaparral would compare, edge geometry-wise.

[@49giants3]

Very nice knife my friend. How does the steel compare with cold steel cts-xhp?

[@yoadrian3814]

Are you in everyday carry australia? It's like aussie edc but they're a bit more fun - and has a raffle group

[@armenarakelian9876]

I just bought this same knife

[@abc456f]

Sharpest knife I have out of the box is the TRM Viator slipjoint. Scary sharp.

[@neroknives1828]

This or the native 5?
