I’ve found what seems to be the perfect pocketknife for my use. The Spyderco Chaparral has a very small footprint closed but when open gives a full five fingered full fisted grip with the most ergonomic handle I’ve ever experienced in a knife that lays flat and unobtrusive in the pocket. The steel is amazing with a very toothy edge and holds that edge very nicely. Overall the knife is very strong and locks up like a bank vault. The edge is about the size of the scout knives of yore, the ones I grew up with. There are several different versions in regards to scale material. This one is the Sun & Moon in G10, a very strong material. The thin blade is the best slicer I’ve ever used. I was hoping it was close to the slicing performance of an Opinel. It is palpably better. At 2.2 oz it’s not ultralight but in the spectrum I look for.
