Spyderco Chaparral Raffir Noble C152RNP Pre-Owned - Satin 2.8" CTS-XHP Leaf Shaped Blade & Raffir Noble Epoxy Resin Composite Handle Scales - Lockback Folder w/ Round Thumb Hole | Made in Taiwan
The Chaparral line of knives by Spyderco are a family of smaller-sized lock-back folders that perform as an incredible everyday carry pocket knife. A main characteristic of the Chapparal's are that they offer a wide variety of unique handle materials and handle treatments. This Raffir Noble model of the Chaparral incorporates that idea extremely well.
Raffir is a Denmark-made composite material that is absolutely incredible looking, durable, and supremely unique. It is made by encapsulating metal mech materials in a translucent epoxy resin. The signature Raffir Noble pattern utilizes a mixture of brass and copper within the composite. This gives off a distinctive brown-metal "flowy" look within a green-tinted translucent finish. TLDR: The handle scales on this knife are stunning.
The blade on this C152RNP model of the Chaparral is a full-flat ground CTS-XHP stainless steel. Finished satin in a drop point/leaf shaped style, it looks great with the handle and is ready for anything that comes its way. This guy comes equipped with a reversible tip-up stainless wire pocket clip.
Condition-wise, this Raffir Noble Chaparral we have in stock is in just about as brand new condition as you can get. The knife itself has no visible blemishes anywhere, and the blade looks to be completely unused. The handle scales and pocket clip have no nicks or scratches. There is no small plastic piece underneath the clip, but there doesn't look to be any wear from where the clip touches the reverse side scale. This knife does come with its original box, but it is a bit worn around the edges and a bit on the top.
