I agree Dan. They are even more impressive in person. I think some of the old Kopas are the only models that may top this one.

You are right on the the money , the Kopa models were very beautiful too . Deacon’s collection of Kopa models are a eye dazzling array of colors and materials . Dan

Thank you. Funny thing is, I didn't think so at first. Of all my Chaps, oddly, I find myself carrying this one most often. Teh CF version is my "dress" knife.

This Chaparral has been to 3 of the 5 great lakes with me. I'm currently at Sleeping Bear Dunes, Lake Michigan. Thought I left it at Lake Huron but it showed up a few months later in a sweater pocket. Don't have pictures of Lake Erie yet but that won't be hard since I live 5 miles from it. Need to plan the trips to lakes Superior and Ontario sometime soon.

Might go back and retake them after I clean the scales 😂.

The Chaparral was my first Spyderco and is my favorite folder.
