Another thread for discussing a Chaparral XL - now that it came one step closer to becoming a reality

Does the Charisma with a blade thickness of .05”/1.2mm qualify for “thin line” designation?

To me it definitely does and it must be a great design!

But perhaps that really thin stock and the overall construction will make it an a bit more specialized folder for not too hard tasks....?

... while my years long advocating for a a true Chap XL among other things has as a background my believe that 2mm stock in Chap blade shape and around 3,5" blade length will be strong enough for a real, general EDC knife and also for most "harder" tasks people realistically perform with their folders....

/ Anyway... Can´t wait to hopefully see the Chap XL come to life... seeing it in some coming Reveal would make that a great day for me!

Sal mentioned this in another thread, but thought it was worth putting in here as well -

As to the model questions. I too hope to have both the Hyper formance Delica's and the Chaparral XL out this year.

It would be great to see this happen this year, if even just for Marius' sake.

Just right now I learned about Marius´ situation - I also here want to wish him all the best, the strength to fight on .. and any knife he dreams of.

/ I am really excited for both of these models, but definitely even more so for the Chap XL... a prospect I´ve been dreaming and posting about for quite some years now. It would be so cool to see it actually come to life this year already.
