desertcart.com : Spyderco Chaparral Lightweight Prestige Knife with 2.80 CTS XHP Steel Blade and Gray Durable FRN Handle - PlainEdge - C152PGY : Sports & Outdoors

Review: The ultimate super slicer Edc knife. This thing is a laser beam! - If you are looking for a small and lightweight pocket knife that is one of the best slicing knives you will ever use this is the knife that you want. Xhp steel is fantastic Spyderco really knows what they're doing with it it is a very high performance still is sharpens up very very well it's tough enough holds the edge great and is super easy to touch up be it on a strop or ceramic rod and when it's time for a full sharpening it responds beautifully to high performance waterstones. This still really loves naniwa chosera 800 grit as the finish and it performs great with that finish, lots of aggressive bite and really high levels of keenness. Xhp is one of my favorite stainless steels because of the edge that it takes it becomes so incredibly sticky Sharp and has so much bite and it holds on to it extremely well my favorite stainless steel would be s90v but xhp isn't all that far behind. Tai Chung Spyderco plant really does excellent quality work and their heat treat is fantastic on every steel they work with. What's so great about this knife is just how thin it is in the overall geometry makes for one laser beam slicer it literally Cuts Like the materials not there. If you like very slicey knives then the Chappy is for YOU. It's so small yeah even with XL hands I get a full grip as long as I'm using the 50/50 choil and it's super comfortable in hand and ready to go to work! It carries very nicely in the fifth pocket it also carries very nicely as a main carry it's thin doesn't take up much pocket real estate and it's extremely lightweight this is one of spyderco's best designs
Review: Very nice knife. - This is a great little pocket knife. Very solid construction, and came very sharp out of the box. It is also a very good looking knife, small and sleek and not imposing in any way. So great to carry around without fear of people being freaked out by it. I have read that some people have noted a gritty action out of the box. I had a very slight bit of grit feel, I mean really slight. The blade is very close to the sides of the frame, and with pressure from your thumb, can rub a little. The grit feel was just the edge of the frame being a tiny bit sharp. Not like a burr or anything, just a very clean sharp 90 degree edge. After opening and closing the blade with a little extra downward pressure a few times (maybe 10), it went away and is very smooth now. A drop of oil and it is like butter. No issues with the fit and finish at all. The blade is perfectly centered with zero play in any direction when locked. I don't even see the initial slight gritty feel is an issue seeing as it is rectified so easily. I haven't had it long enough to comment on how well it holds an edge, but reports from others suggest it will probably hold up quite well, and for a little light duty pocket knife, I'm sure it will be more than adequate. I do have one small gripe, but that is not with the knife. Mine did NOT come with the advertised S30V steel. It has CTS-XHP steel instead. I'm not particularly bothered by this, as both are very nice steels, but it was described as S30V on the product page. Not a huge deal to me, but if you specifically wanted S30V, beware that might not be what you get. desertcart should change the description really. Very nice knife. I don't think I'll need another small folder for a long time :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is this knife manufactured?**
A: The Taichung, Taiwanese plant produces nothing but exceptional high quality knives!  Their engineers build and fabricate to incredible close tolerances much better than most knife makers.  They are truly world class!  🇹🇼🇺🇦🇺🇸

**Q: Is everybody getting the CTS-XHP version?**
A: Mine came with S30V but the new 2013 models are made with CTS-XHP steel. Both are excellent from what I've read and similar too. Maybe a slight edge to CTS-XHP? Not sure. I think you would be happy with either.

**Q: Blade length? Handle length when closed? Weight?**
A: Specs: Blade Steel: CPM-S30V or CTS-XHP Handle Material: Carbon Fiber Length Overall: 6 3/8" (162mm) Blade Length: 2 13/16" (71mm) Length Closed: 3 5/8" (92mm) Hole Diameter: 1/2" (13mm) Weight: 2.5 oz (70g)

**Q: Is this a screw together design? Can this knife be disabled?**
A: Two screws on on either end and no disabling features. Still a cool knife.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super knife
*by P***O on January 14, 2023*

Excellent knife. I have a bunch of knives and am always on the hunt for a nice gentleman’s knife. I like locking knives that are slicey (work in a professional setting). I don’t like huge knives, not at least for edc. Prior to this purchase my favorites had been going between a small Sebenza drop point and a Peña trapper. I had always liked the size and appearance of the Chaparral on paper so I decided to give it a whirl. The knife did not disappoint. The knife is small and thin. The blade opens easily with no wobble to a firm “click” and locks with an easily disengaged lock back. There is a finger choil to extend the handle size, making it comfortable to hold (I have average sized hands). The clip holds it in place securely. The blade cuts very easily and stays sharp. It has gone through the standard fair of boxes and mail with no issue. I do not expect to use it for anything much more than what an edc gentleman’s folder should be used to do, like boxes, whittling, food, mail, etc. The only minor gripe I have is the very grippy texture of the frn handle scales. They are great to hold and keep the blade in place nicely. However, they might want to tear up your pocket a bit, especially in a thicker pocket like jeans. But that is just a tiny little complaint. If there was a version with smooth scales that would be great. Everything else is just fantastic. Amazing amount of cutting power in a minimal pocket presence. I love it. It has supplanted the Sebenza and Peña for now as the main pocket carry, although I think the other two will probably make the way into the rotation again at some point.
