Spyderco Chaparral CPM REX 121
The Chaparral takes its name from a Western U.S. plant known for regenerating after harsh conditions, a resilient spirit reflected in this series that explores premium handle materials on a sleek prestige folder platform. This expression breaks from tradition with CPM REX 121 steel, a high-vanadium, cobalt-bearing tool steel formulated to deliver the greatest wear resistance, attainable hardness, and red hardness available in high-speed steel. The result is exceptional sharpness and unparalleled edge retention that maintains a keen edge longer than conventional blade steels. The full-flat grind with satin finish maximizes cutting efficiency and showcases the steel's refined surface. Peel-ply-textured G-10 scales in distinctive burnt orange provide secure grip and create visual impact. A stout back lock mechanism provides a reliable lockup you can trust during use. The deep-pocket wire clip offers left or right side tip-up carry for ambidextrous accessibility. Refined lines meet extreme performance in a package that celebrates both material innovation and functional design.
