Spyderco Chaparral 3 Raffir Noble Camo
Item #: SPC152RNP
$185.95
The Chaparral series, released in 2011, is a family of slim, pocket-friendly gentlemen's folding knives that celebrates the diversity of different handle materials and treatments. The thin style helps to keep its weight to a minimum and ensures an easy carry. This unique version features full stainless steel liners and smoke-colored Raffir Noble scales. Raffir is a striking composite material that encapsulates metal mesh in a durable, translucent epoxy resin. The Raffir Noble pattern combines a smoke-colored acrylic with a mixture of brass and copper mesh. When machined and polished to create knife scales, it reveals a unique, semi-transparent, three-dimensional pattern with amazing visual depth and character.
Like the other members of Spyderco's Chaparral family, this knife features a full-flat-ground plain edge blade made from premium CTS® XHP stainless steel, a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ for ambidextrous one-handed opening, a sturdy back lock mechanism and a reversible deep-pocket wire clip that supports discreet left or right-side tip-up carry.
The leaf shaped blade measures 2-3/4" with a closed length of 3-5/8". Weighs 2.3 oz. Suggested Retail $247.00.

Spyderco
In 1981, Spyderco ventured into the world of knife making by introducing their first folding knife, the C01 Worker. This knife was the first in the industry to feature a round hole in the blade design that allowed for fast, one-hand opening, now the company’s trademark, and the first to feature a pocket clip. The trademarked round hole is the most recognizable feature of a Spyderco knife and it facilitates the easy opening and closing of these knives with one hand while also offering convenient access and maximum control while opening as well as accommodating large, small or gloved hands.
Spyderco’s recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomically functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. Spyderco’s knives may look unusual, but they will never be called unusable or undependable. When you purchase a Spyderco knife, you are buying a high quality reliable cutting tool that was designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort.
