didn't find battle station so :o
Thanks for the link. The Akimbo was my favorite design and the Junior seems to be a leaf blade version of that knife.

I'm going to go through the designs and guess which one the Battle Station is based on.

I wonder how many variations will be in the "series" of the Chaparral?

Is this the new KIWI / KOPA? or will there just be a couple scale changes?

Thinking about it, it would be tough using some materials
without bolsters & this large of an area.

Just yakking.........

Is there any plans for a run in Micarta for the Chaparral? If so what flavor?

I think I heard that the first chaparral will be carbon fiber and then the next one will be titanium with some type of milling to give it more grip or a better texture. I am looking forward to this series of knives!

Thin FFG blade in S30V, should be a great little slicer.

I can't wait to see what they have planned.

None of them, there is a totally new design.

Yeah, I have to agree..seriously, wow.

Silver twill carbon fiber. Blue anodized Ti including anodized Ti liner lock. Centofante design similar to original spyderco Centofante...I just hope it doesn't cost an arm and a leg, because I have to have one.

My hope is that they end up using some kind of micarta (hopefully white or brown) for the Al Mar tribute Sage 4. A micarta Chaparral to go along with it would be superb. I bet that's pretty far in the future though..there seem to be a heck of a lot of Taiwan models on deck to be produced, with the Sage 4 in the distant future, and 4 versions of the Chaparral already mentioned (CF, 2x Titanium, Slip-it). A slip-it Chaparral with micarta scales would be sexy, but I think I'd probably prefer a lockback in that material and something different for a slip-it.

Thanks so much for all the pictures and videos, Wouter! It really is a nice treat each time there is an addition.

Looks like I lost the guessing game before I even made a guess. Thanks for the info and I look forward to getting the Junior and seeing the Battle Station in the future.

No official and complete specs. But I reckon the Squeak having a 2 inch blade and the Techno maybe 2,5 inches.

I like the new knives but I gotta say, the hourglass clips are starting to become boring and generic looking. I know it cuts down on costs but the Memory looks like it should have a different clip on it. It doesn't flow with the knife. Another "looks like you just threw it on as an afterthought".
