Live on Blade HQ
Re: Spyderco C152RNP Chaparral
All out of stock by the time I got there, but I googled around and found one on the 6th store I visited (OsoGrande).

How durable is the handle material? It is hard to tell much from the description. Some plastics are very tough and strong, but others not so much.

Re: Spyderco C152RNP Chaparral
I'm really looking forward to checking this one out in person. The photos give me an idea, but I think this is going to be one I have to hold in my hand.
Re: Spyderco C152RNP Chaparral
I too really like the looks of the knife, but will wait to see what others on the forum have to say before buying. With the Caly 3 coming shortly and plans for a Ti Millie, the Chaparral will have to take a number.

Re: Spyderco C152RNP Chaparral
Mine is in hand from Mark's and will be in wife's closet until Father's Day. It is a piece of art though. I sent Roger a few pics and this scale material is other worldly. I still am skittish on 2mm blade stock but I actually am pretty protective of my knives so I am sure it will be fine

Re: Spyderco C152RNP Chaparral
I actually don't care for the looks, based on the pics, however, I love the Chaparral so much, I ordered one this morning.
Re: Spyderco C152RNP Chaparral
I want one, but can't justify it. I already have a Chapparal 3.
Re: Spyderco C152RNP Chaparral
Still not in stock at KW

Got your pics, the Noble is looking good. You can click on the pic to enlarge it. :spydertwinboysdad wrote:Someone PM me an email address and I can send them. I am clueless on how to post pics here

Thanks Tdog and Twinboysdad!
Trying to hold off on new purchases for a 'lil bit, but this is near the top of the list!

Re: Spyderco C152RNP Chaparral
You really have to zoom in to see the copper mesh woven in there. This is like no scale material I have seen before. As much as I want a SE PM2, in business casual M-F, I EDC smallish blades and this will get used more than any rougher model. I will have to wait until Father's Day
Re: Spyderco C152RNP Chaparral
Question: Can this knife be taken apart?
Re: Spyderco C152RNP Chaparral
Has anyone who preordered at Knife Center gotten a shipment notification yet?
Re: Spyderco C152RNP Chaparral
I pre-ordered before Christmas, and emailed KC yesterday. Response: "Unfortunately, we do not have a scheduled delivery date for these items at this time."cpl wrote:Has anyone who preordered at Knife Center gotten a shipment notification yet?
Re: Spyderco C152RNP Chaparral
:/ Thanks for the info. Debating whether or not I should just cancel it and order at Oso Grande. I'll probably wait a couple days, considering it's not a sprint run. Eventually they should be pretty easy to find...chrisb507 wrote:I pre-ordered before Christmas, and emailed KC yesterday.
