The Chaparral collection from Spyderco has long been renowned for its emphasis on distinctive handle materials and finishes. This exceptional new model marks a new era of refinement, featuring a blade crafted from awe-inspiring Damasteel® DS93X™ Grabak™.
Produced in Sweden using Damasteel’s advanced powder metallurgy Damascus technique, this extraordinary steel blends two hardenable grades of knife steel, resulting in a blade that offers both outstanding corrosion resistance and impressive strength. The Grabak™ pattern, named after a mythical worm from Norse legend that gnawed at the Tree of Life’s roots, displays a mesmerising swirl reminiscent of ancient Norse dragons’ wings and fire. The Chaparral’s full-flat-ground blade showcases the remarkable complexity of this design, providing a truly captivating visual effect.
This sophistication extends to the linerless handle, which is fitted with ivory G-10 scales, a stainless steel backspacer, and a robust back lock mechanism for reliable use. Completing the design, a deep-pocket wire clip allows for discreet, ambidextrous tip-up carry on either side, ensuring this finely crafted folder is both practical and elegant for UK knife
