Spyderco C152RNP Chaparral - CTS-XHP Blade - Raffir Noble Handle
Chaparral. A very cool name we must admit. Though to many of us the chaparral is a lowly scrub bush that's as ubiquitous as dirt once you leave paved roads out west, the Spyderco Chaparral is quite an amazing knife. Chaparral has a tenacity to survive, revive and regenerate after being destroyed by drought or fire deeming it something to respect. It's also what Spyderco calls a new and continuing series of gentlemen's folders, with new and more interesting offerings to come.
Spyderco’s Chaparral series is a family of slim, pocket-friendly gentlemen’s folding knives that celebrates the diversity of different handle materials and treatments. This unique version of the Chaparral features full stainless steel liners and smoke-colored Raffir Noble scales. Manufactured in Denmark, Raffir is a strikingly beautiful composite material that encapsulates metal mesh in a durable, translucent epoxy resin. The Raffir Noble pattern combines a smoke-colored acrylic with a mixture of brass and copper mesh. When machined and polished to create knife scales, it reveals a unique, semi-transparent, three-dimensional pattern with amazing visual depth and character.
Like the other members of Spyderco’s Chaparral family, this knife features a full-flat-ground PlainEdge™ blade crafted from premium CTS® XHP stainless steel, a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ for ambidextrous one-handed opening, a sturdy back lock mechanism, and a reversible deep-pocket wire clip that supports discreet left or right-side tip-up carry. A highly functional pocketknife that also offers tremendous pride of ownership, the Chaparral Raffir Noble truly cuts with class.
