Spyderco Chaparral Sun & Moon C152GSMP Pre-Owned - Satin 2.8" CTS-XHP Leaf-Shaped Blade & Black/White G-10 Handle Scales w/ Mother of Pearl Inlay - Lockback w/ 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 handle materials and handle treatments. Certainly, this C152GSMP Sun and Moon model is no exception to that rule.

Depicted “Sun and Moon” due to its black and white opposing handle scales, this Chaparral is extremely unique. Both scales are made with G-10, the face side being finished a smooth black, and the clip-side being finished white. On the clip-side scale, a Red G-10 inlay gives it a little bit of pop, while the face-side scale is given a stunning Mother of Pearly inlay. This knife definitely gives off a ying-yang vibe, being flashy in all the right ways without being too over the top.

Paired up with a satin finished CTS-XHP stainless steel blade in a leaf-shape, you’ve got yourself a reliable EDC folder with tons of personality. Add on a round thumb hole for easy deployment, a strong lock-back lock-up, and a reversible wire tip-up pocket clip, and this model of the Chaparral quickly becomes a fan favorite.

Condition-wise, I would give this Sun and Moon Chaparral a 9/10. The only thing keeping me from rating it as like-to-brand new is a tad bit of clip wear and the smallest of snail trail on the reverse side scale where the pocket clip touches. Other than this, the handle scales are in pristine condition and it appears that the blade has been unused. The knife comes with its original bubble baggie and box, in great shape.
