Hey guys, I'm torn between getting a carbon fiber Chaparral and a Delica super blue. Which would you guys go with?

Are you getting it for edc and general use? I love the delica for a user because you don't feel bad about doing whatever needs done with it. The super-blue steel is amazing too. If you do get the chaparral, know that you can probably still get one in either s30v or cts-xhp, whatever your preference. For edc I say super-blue though

If you work in a office setting or similar, the Chapparal would be the one to go with. Otherwise the Delica is a great all around knife. The Chapparal is more of a gentlemens folder but it is a great knife in its own accord.
It just depends on your situation and what your usage of the knife will be.

The Chaparral that I bought was a little rough. The blade polish was not well done and the edges of the knife, all over, were very sharp. It is pretty nice, now, but I had to do the work to bring it up to snuff.
The Delica is bigger and does not disappear like the Chap does. But the blade is a lot thicker, too. I lean towards the Delica Super Blue but I would look before I leapt.

If you like the Delica and it fits your hand but you want an upscale knife get the Caly3 CF. If your looking for primarily a beater, choose the Delica! That's my .02 cents!mdsmith wrote:Yeah, it's just for general use. I've gotten into smaller sized knives lately, and wanted something besides my Benchmade Sequel. I was also looking at the carbon fiber Caly 3.
