Still blown away by this one... if I generally was into such small folders, I'd certainly pick the Chap SE as Spydercos very best knife.

Agreed and a Salt version would make it #1 for me 🙏

At least Sal asked what steel variants we´d like to see in the Chap (of course you know that thread ;) viewtopic.php?p=1813962#p1813962) - so there is at least some hope that one day we´ll see a Chap Salt - and if so imo it would be REALLY sad if that one got no SE version...

/ As for the current Chap SE: Said it in another post already: I really love those situations when a Spydie comes along from time to time and somehow becomes an instant "hit" on this forum, despite it might not on the general market.

The Chap SE definitely is such a model: Except one single account I´ve only read from "really positive" to "amazing" among all those who actually tried it.
In any case for me it is one of the most enjoyable things here to share the passion for a certain model with fellow forum members! (Or even just watch others sharing it) :clinking-mugs
Top three going by pocket-time (update October 25):
- EDC: Endela SE (K390). Endela SE (VG10), Manix 2 LW (REX45)
- Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1)

:clinking-mugs The reason I like it so much is even though I have quite a few Spyderco’s I normally carry the Native Salt PE and the Dfly Salt SE but the Chap SE is so good it’s all I need for EDC plus it would allow me to carry a larger knife if I was so inclined…I apologize for yet again raving about this little beast but it has really won me over…Taiwan is already set up for salt production and Magnacut so maybe one day it’ll happen 👍

Wow that looks great! It's like an old hot rod seat or saddle blanket...
Does the Navajo blanket differ much from a Mexican serape?

I don´t see any reason for having to apologize for "raving about [a Spydie] yet again", my friend... :smlling-eyes

- For one, no one is forced to read what they do not want to read (once again), right?
- Then I think the vast majority of folks frequenting this forum do not even nearly read each and every post anyway, so for most there might not be a repetition
- Those who do choose to read several times about people really sharing their joy about a Spyderco but do NOT like that: Well, I don´t think the problem here is on the side of those who chat about their positive impressions...
- I don´t think that Sal would say it is a detriment or negative for "his" forum when people repeatedly talk about how good a Spyderco product really is...
- Lastly, in a way it is valid info if people see that a certain model is still and always liked even after some use and after the "honeymoon phase" is over. If I for example would not have a Chap SE yet, but realize that folks like you or @JoviAl appreciate it still after some real use and testing, this would offer a real, solid pro - "data point" for me when thinking about trying one myself...
Top three going by pocket-time (update October 25):
- EDC: Endela SE (K390). Endela SE (VG10), Manix 2 LW (REX45)
- Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1)

Amazing scales!!

Would love such on one of my Stretch 1s ... (for no objective reason this is the model I always think of giving it special Micarta scales...)

Just took a moment out from fixing up my son’s mini bike to read the forum notification I got from your post Gernot. Here is a picture of my work space… with the SE Chap just getting it done next to the impact driver and torque wrench 😂

In all honesty I literally don’t bother carrying any other knife at home anymore unless I have a need of a particular blade shape. I sincerely hope Sal et al deem fit to make some other permutations of it in SE, otherwise I’m not going to be buying many knives in future. Well, for myself at least.
