Spyderco Chaparral Slipit - CTS XHP Steel & Maple Handle

The Spyderco Chaparral Slipit is a slim and refined gentleman's knife, designed to be a comfortable and discreet companion for everyday use. This knife combines an elegant look with high-quality materials and a classic functional design.

The 7.00 cm long, distinctive leaf-shaped blade is made of American CTS XHP steel with a hardness of RC 60. CTS XHP, introduced in 1994, combines the best properties of D2 and 440C steels, resulting in high wear resistance and excellent sharpness retention (like D2), coupled with impressive corrosion resistance (like 440C). Of course, the blade features the iconic Spyderco Round Hole for smooth one-handed opening. Then the slipjoint holds the blade in the opened position, though it is important to note that this is a non-locking feature.

The handle of the Chaparral is constructed of stainless steel liners with beautiful maple wood scales. The stainless steel liners give the knife its structural strength, while the maple scales ensure that the knife sits comfortably in the hand. Maple wood is known for its attractive light brown color and fine grain markings, giving the handle a high-quality look and a pleasing grip texture. The Chaparral Slipit is further equipped with a reversible Tip-Up carry clip, offering flexibility for various carry preferences. With a 9.10 cm handle and an overall length of 16.30 cm, this is an ultra-light knife at just 61 grams, making it barely noticeable in your pocket. The design is by Sal Glesser, the founder of Spyderco.
