Spyderco’s Chaparral series is all about exploring unique handle materials within a sleek, gentleman’s folder design—and the latest version takes that concept to a bold new level. This edition features striking Red “Dark Matter” Fatcarbon carbon fiber scales, made by fatcarbon® Materials in Lithuania. The material is crafted from recycled carbon fiber, biobased epoxy, and natural pigments, then forged under heat and pressure into a strong, lightweight, and visually stunning composite. The handle’s vivid texture and color give the knife a standout look, while the familiar Chaparral features remain: a satin-finished CTS® XHP blade, full-flat grind, ambidextrous Trademark Round Hole™, secure back lock, and a low-profile, reversible wire clip. It’s a refined everyday carry with a modern edge—both stylish and practical.
