Chaparral is a shrub native to the Western United States with the unique ability to perennially survive, revive and regenerate after being destroyed by drought or fire. Mid-sized Chaparral folders will have identical blade and handle profiles but showcase variant handle materials. Possibly Spyderco's thinnest, lightest mid-sized CLIPIT yet.

The fourth installment in the Chaparral series is a serious contender in the gent's knife genre. The blue stepped titanium handle is sculpted to capture light and create texture in your hand with a diamond, stealth-like pattern. A left-right, tip-up pocket clip and mid-positioned backlock complement the folder and it's CTS XHP leaf shaped, full flat ground blade is Plain Edged for advanced cutting performance.

Spyderco Description: Spyderco's unique Chaparral series uses a highly refined gentlemans folder design as a canvas to highlight distinctive handle materials and texture patterns. The Blue Stepped Titanium version is the most ambitious Chaparral to date, featuring solid titanium scales meticulously CNC-machined to produce a breathtaking stepped pattern. Composed entirely of straight lines, this amazing pattern creates the illusion of curves and detailed geometric shapes, as well as adding texture to the handle. Partway through the machining process, the scales are color anodized a brilliant blue before they are machined again. The result is a spectacular contrast of alternating blue and silver steps that further accentuates the exacting detail of the design. This painstaking process produces only 12 sets of scales per day and is the most time-intensive manufacturing procedure used on any Spyderco knife.

One of the most exquisitely crafted folding knives ever made, the Blue Stepped Titanium Chaparral features a full-flat-ground CTS XHP stainless steel blade, a sturdy back lock mechanism, and a reversible deep-pocket wire clip that supports ambidextrous tip-up carry.
