Gentleman’s Form. Slipjoint Function. Timeless Craft. Maple warmth, modern performance.

The Chaparral SLIPIT brings Spyderco’s gentleman’s folder concept into a non-locking format, ideal for regions with blade restrictions or users who prefer traditional mechanics. It retains the signature Chaparral profile — leaf-shaped CTS-XHP blade, ergonomic choil and thumb ramp, and reversible wire clip — but swaps the back lock for a full-length stainless backspacer and a notched-joint slipjoint mechanism.

The debut model features stunning Birdseye maple scales, blending natural beauty with modern performance. Designed by Sal Glesser, it’s a gentleman’s folder built for everyday carry and travel-friendly use, with natural wood grain and a warm tactile feel. Natural wood grain makes every piece unique.
