Okay folks, I just received 2 of the new Chaparral Sun/Moons and they are extremely nice. Both are perfect in every way, and the MOP is super iridescent on both. Love the smooth G10, and the knife just makes a great gentleman's knife. No, this knife is not for anyone looking for their next hard user, but if you want an elegant little folder that has a slicey little blade and is aesthetically pleasing, give it a shot.
 
I got one on order too. Should ship tomorrow. This one is going to be a gift . If i love it , I will try to get another.
I have only bought golden Colorado KNIVES for me But the Taiwan knifes are said to be of the highest quality.
I bought my grandsons delicas and they are fine little knives. They are made in Japan. And they are a great starter
 
Love the model and the materials but the non-matching scales don't do it for me. Hope to see burlap micarta in the future or simple polished G-10.
 
PICTURES please!

Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun. I don't appreciate this knife reminding me it still exists.

The covers remind me of the One Eyed Jack and I really like that version. Very slick.

This is what I have been thinking as well!
I would really like to see one in person first, mostly because I’ve never handled a Chaparral and would like to check out the form-factor in hand.

FWIW, I’m fan of Taichung Spydercos.
 
Can't believe there's not more luv for this model...gonna buy a dub!

the fit on the Sun/Moon inlays is jawdropping :eek: !!!

Like most pretty things with iridescence and chatoyance, it's impossible for me to capture all the glory of the Moon...

it literally looks different from every angle:

Very nice! Thanks for sharing. I especially like the moon side.
 
I would like to have seen red coral or some semi-precious red mineral instead of G10 in the 'sun'. Still, it is a great looking knife.

Chaps feel very good in the hand. I recently sold my cf chap and miss it...
 
Well it came and I gave it to my son in law. It's a first class edc and finished perfect
Having a sun and a moon on it only makes it better for a mason . His smile was priceless.
Thanks sypderco
