Where are the Chaparral steels?

[Wartstein]

Recent Centofante CF Cruwear sprint was 2mm Cruwear.

True, but not ffg...
Sabre grind (and not hollow grind as the VG10 centofante?), right?

.....not break it, that's like keeping a tool steel from rusting. Just more care. Hardened steel doesn't flex much,

I think it's worth the learning. We've done a lot of things that seemed odd at the time, starting with a hole in the blade.

If it's not going to work out in use, I'll let you know. For just the blade, we can put a thinner blade in an Endela, but the "package" wouldn't work the same.

Sal, you willing to really try this out and let us know is so cool and shows again why I like Spyderco so much!
Thanks a lot!

And yes, you put it perfectly: A Chap XL might be an a bit more specialized tool for folks who usually use their knives, well "as knives" like in cutting tool.. but then it should work perfectly or better than many other models for almost all typical EDC knife tasks... ?

You´ĺl find out and tell us, I hope!

I don’t see broken opinels too often.

I've recently got 2 Chaps LW SE and one of them is always with me while the other one is sleeping at home waiting...I hope forever :-)))
I will buy others in different steel because this knife at this point it is my preferred one in all the Spyderco catalogue (and hope for other SEs too BTW).

For the steels I would like obviously MagnaCut but also k390 or CruWear; CPM 15V would be a dream like all other supersteels.

Handles like Sal think would be feasible, but I have to say that Micarta (Mi-Carta) would be fantastic...also for the already said nickname: "Magna Carta" if done with MagnaCut steel :-)))))
