You should definitely pick up a Chaparral. I was able to get mine for an insane deal. Just handed over some extra knives I didn't like or want to the local shop, handed them $53, and went home with my Like New Chaparral lol.
I traded it off to my cousin at one point so he could have his first really great and higher end knife. He then handed it off to his friend for some odd months and he finally got it back so I could trade him to get it back. So I traded a couple of cheap Kershaws, a crappy cheap butterfly knife, a Spyderco Kiwi and a Zippo to get it back in my hands. Never again will I let it go, unless it's for a knife I want more(unlikely). I got it back in the same condition so I was happy lol.
