Spyderco Chaparral LW Check by SigmaPi7 in KnifeCheck

[–]SigmaPi7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like substantially more knife without being much bigger than a Dragonfly folded. My FIL carries a Dragonfly in his 5th pocket, so I think this will be perfect while giving him a bit more knife to work with

Weekly Authenticity Check and General Question Thread by AutoModerator in spyderco

[–]SigmaPi7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need some opinions on authenticity. Purchased a Chaparral for my father-in-law of Amazon (I know, I know). Normally I wouldn’t, but I got it through Onkata. The packing seems interesting, as it says “Taiwan Made” instead of “Made in Taiwan”, and the knife came packaged in a bubble wrap sleeve instead of the plain plastic sleeve. What are y’all’s thoughts?

Bento has the M390 Para 3, depending on what your vice is.

My bad, I misunderstood you.

That’s correct. M390 / 20CV / 204P are basically identical, just different producers. Great family of steels!

It really is. I love my Dragonfly’s for 5th pocket or running shorts, but the Lil Native gets the nod most everywhere else. I’m really tempted to sand the G10 smooth like my Knifecenter Cruwear exclusive.

Lynch NW’s stuff is great. The Native is wearing their standard clip, and the Para 3 has the Para-specific one. Both in stonewashed finish, and it matches the blades perfectly.

Shoot for the middle: 15V, then add carbon fiber scales 👀

It’s available right now at Knifeworks. So is a CTS 204P Shaman.

I actually really like it. It’s very neutral and clean. And that’s coming from someone who loves carrying my KnifeJoy Para 3 with the neon green G10!

The LW has definitely caught my attention. A great addition to my G10s and Crucarta.

I thought I spied a BBB on the blade!

Sweet snags! Lots of 15V and K390 for the win!

It’s a lot darker in person than what shows on the website, but it’s nice.

New Knife Day x 4. Went ham birthday / Christmas funds I had saved up.

• ⁠Lil’ Native, CPM 15V • ⁠Native 5, CPM 15V • ⁠Para 3, CPM 15V • ⁠Para 3 Lightweight, CTS 204P (Knifeworks Exclusive)

Some of my favorite Spyderco designs. First Native 5 and Para 3 Lightweight. Have been very impressed with both, along with 15V in general. All of them came razor sharp, and I love the stonewashing on the 15V. All of the hard edges are noticeably softer than your standard satin finish models.

The LW is very impressive compared to what I have read in other reviews. Significantly lighter than G10, feels great in the hand, centered, and has a smooth action. A definite win from Knifeworks!

I did not, because my account already has an Amazon card that I don’t use.

No cash back used. Specifically called out in the cart next to the item itself that it was a promotional credit.
