Spyderco Chaparral Red Fatcarbon PlainEdge

Description

The Chaparral series from Spyderco stands for the variety of different handle materials and their surface treatments and thus always lives up to the reputation of a refined gentleman’s folder. The newest member of this prestigious family features precision-crafted scales made of red “Dark Matter” fatcarbon carbon fiber. Manufactured by fatcarbon Materials of Lithuania, the “Dark Matter” handle scales are made from recycled carbon fiber material, bio-based epoxy resin and organic pigments. They are then “forged” under high pressure and heat to create an incredibly strong, lightweight, chemical-resistant material that is stunningly beautiful and complex. The stunning scales on this knife highlight the Chaparral’s proven design features, which include a fully flat ground, satin-finished CTS XHP stainless steel blade, a fully accessible thumb hole for ambidextrous one-handed opening, a reliable back-lock mechanism, and a deep-carry wire clip that is reversible for discreet left or right-side up carry Warning and safety information:Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
