Damasteel Grabak Lockback with Ivory G-10 Handles
The Chaparral is Spyderco's platform for showcasing unique blade steels and handle materials. This model features a blade crafted from Damasteel DS93X Grabak, a Swedish powder metallurgy Damascus steel with a chaotic swirling pattern reminiscent of Norse dragons. It's designed for knife enthusiasts who appreciate intricate patterns and high-performance materials.
Blade
The 2.8" blade uses Damasteel DS93X Grabak, a Damascus pattern-welded steel combining two hardenable grades for corrosion resistance and strength. The full-flat grind enhances slicing performance, while the Grabak pattern adds visual depth. This steel is best for users who prioritize edge retention and corrosion resistance in a visually striking package.
Handle
Ivory G-10 scales provide a lightweight, durable grip. G-10 is a fiberglass laminate soaked in resin and compressed, making it impervious to moisture and chemicals. The linerless design keeps weight down to 2.3oz, while the stainless steel backspacer adds structural support.
Carry
The back lock mechanism secures the blade open with a sturdy, time-tested design. The deep-pocket wire clip allows for discreet left- or right-side tip-up carry, making this folder completely ambidextrous.
