K390 or REX121 would be my top choices. It'd be very interesting to see performance on a knife with a laser beam edge like the Chaparral.

I pay for YouTube Premium (which is easily my favorite streaming service) and it includes YouTube Music for free, which isn't as good as Spotify or Tidal, but does the job for me. It's $14 per month, which I feel is actually under-priced given the amount of value that I get out of the service altoge...

Even as it is now, Ripp's Garage Tech offers Chaparral scales in over 20 different varieties of micarta, 5 colors of G10, amber translucent Ultem, and black Ultem. They then offer 5 different texture patterns on those materials. The scales from Ripp’s Garage Tech look great! Here’s the G-10 ones: h...

So, for the sake of conversation, on the frn version, whaddayouwant? Colors, Steels or specific combinations? sal — MagnaCut Yellow FRN — LC200N Green FRN — K390 Blue FRN I think this covers a wide variety of use cases and gives a nice variety of steels. SPY27 might make for a nice choice too. I th...

The sun and moon is (was... :/ ) really nice G10, but perhaps TOO nice for some for a user knife. / And yes, just for real work and when one wants to or has to use a small folder the Chap is hard to beat Perhaps for very prolongued use a thicker handle is better, but for the typical folder tasks th...

I'd really love to see a simple, single color G10 version (maybe the "smooth" variant like certain Native models) of the Chaparral join the FRN version as a utility-oriented version of the knife. Despite owning 40+ Spyderco's over the years, and owning the complete collection of Chaparral ...

I'd like to occasionally carry an auto -- our limit here in CT is 1.5" which is effectively a ban on autos; outside of novelties, I'm not actually aware of any manufacturers that make one at that size. When it comes to manual knives, our limit is 4" and I don't feel restricted by that at a...

I'd love to see a standard G10 or smooth FRN Chaparral; I'd also love to see the next Chaparral with unique scales.

Re-release of the Nirvana would be cool too.

I owned multiple sets of scales from AWT (Manix, Native and also BM Mini Adamas) and their quality is phenomenal. I also have a set of Original Goat scales for my Hogue Deka that I've been extremely satisfied with; they are probably my favorite tied with AWT. I've had mixed results with Flytanium fo...

I'd like to see them revisit a steel that hasn't been used in awhile that hasn't been Muled like V-Toku2 or Super Blue.

Vanadis 8, REX121, S390, and S125V would be sweet as well.

If MAP is released again this year, I'll probably pick up a new Native LW, though I haven't figured out which steel.

I suspect Blade Show West visitors will get a preview of Reveal 14 this weekend, with a formal release on Monday.

https://i.imgur.com/ulab6Dt.jpg Benchmade Hidden Canyon Hunter: This is a shockingly good fixed blade that I thought was going to be catch and release. As the name implies, it is meant for hunting, but is a pretty versatile knife for most tasks. I don't spend a ton of time looking at, or shopping f...

The Chaparral already weighs less than 12 quarters with the liners, given that you'd need to add more FRN (maybe make it about as thick as the UKPK) to guarantee structural integrity, I really think the real question is if people want a more hand-filling Chaparral, after all, the Sage 4 has since be...

Magnacut Shaman with Larrin riding it a la Jot Singh

In all seriousness, I hope we'll see the Reveal today or tomorrow.

The biggest thing for me is steel elitism. I'm tired of people treating knives that are perfectly adequate and have amazing steels as somehow inferior because a slightly better steel came out. I legit never thought I'd see the day when people complained about a knife in M390 (assuming it has a prope...

Easy. Spyderco Chaparral LW.

Everything I love about the Chaparral in a utilitarian format at a solid price.

McBee. It's surprisingly capable for what I thought was going to be a gimmick knife.
