I'm on a Carbon Fiber kick, which CF Spyderco next?

[Cscotttsss]

So, like the thread title states I'm on a CF kick as of late and really want to try and expand my collection (all of which are carried and used) of CF scaled knives.

I've got my eye on several Spyderco models but have narrowed it down to two for the next purchase. I'll eventually buy both but can just get one at the moment, so you can save that answer.

So, it's either the Sage 5 CF or Chaparral CF. I enjoy both lock styles (compression/back lock) so that's not going to be a deciding factor.

I'm actually leaning towards the Chaparral first as I like smaller knives for my office EDC.

CF Positron

Big +1 for the Chaparral great ergonomics, cuts like a champ and is very office friendly. I have the Raffir in my pocket today at the office!

Do you have a Kapara yet?

CF Positron

Thanks but did you even read my post? I have it narrowed down to two at the moment.

Do you have a Kapara yet?

No, it's on the list but right now I have it narrowed down to two choices, as stated in my original post.

Mamba has the most amazing sculpted CF handles of any production Spyderco, imho.

And your collection deserves a fluted CF Native, also.

Sage5

Chaparral has a black pocket clip so cool!

I can concur. The cf on Mamba is amazing, though the blade itself is just so so. I believe Kapara has the same cf pattern.

Solid CF or CF Lam?

My fave solid CF is the Native 5 Fluted CF S90V and my fav CF lam is the Amalgam.

 

[elde66]

Sage 5.

 

[Cscotttsss]

Lol, don't know why I even wasted time typing my original post.

Maybe next time I'll include a poll.

 

[NYRangers_#1_UT]

LOL, you already knew which one you were going to get first, so why did you even ask.

 

[Sir.Campalot]

PM2 with M4 and cf lam scales.

 

[toxophilus]

You won't be disappointed with the CF Chappy, a real fu'hecking slicer!!!

 

[foofie]

Chap is a great way to go.
I think you started the thread with your love of CF - so people suggested well made cf scales rather than focusing on the knife itself. The chaparral and sage have laminated cf, while some of the other suggestions have solid cf. this makes a difference to some.

 

[ivonrei]

+1 for Chaparral. I owned it as well as the Sage 5 and the Sage got sold first

Manix 2 with the laminate s90v/cpm 154 blade is sweet.
