Is Spyderco about to release a new Chaparral?

Benign rules out toxic green.

Well, 2017 is more than half over and still nothing that might give any glimmer of hope that we'll see an FRN Chaparral this year.

[crazywednesday]

Can we get a casual bombshell dropped here please?

[sal]

I hear that the mold was finished. Still waiting.

Thanks Sal.

Old thread but thought I'd give it a bump to ask if there's any word on the next Chaparral?

[Sumdumguy]

Ah, heck with that, make it PURPLE!!!

It's a pretty new model. What do you mean by next?

[Sjucaveman]

I do think they should. So long as it's under about $180 I'd love to see a new handle material. Even if it's more I'd like to see it but probably couldn't buy it.

Sal said not too long ago he was carrying a water buffalo horn chaparral. I dint know if that was a one off or what

Whoa, I missed that bombshell.

From the "what Spydie are you carrying today" thread from sometime last month

A Chaparral proto with brown water buffalo horn scales.

We're working on 3 possible Chaparral's. 2 new materials and one upgrade of a current material. Testing protos.

Thanks for the update Sal.
I wonder what the upgraded current material is...maybe carbon fiber.

[zhyla]

I bet some additional FRN color options would make some people happy. Though I really like the gray.

I can hardly wait to see what’s in the works!

FRN color options are always there. We'll see what the market (you) request?

I vote Red or White FRN with black DLC/TiCN blade amd hardware.

I say keep up with the cool handle materials, but if you're taking requests for frn colors, may I throw in OD green or foliage green with or without a dlc blade? A blood orange or honeydew would be nice colors as well.

I could definitely get behind a foliage green with a non-DLC/satin blade.

I also still think the chaparral would look downright gorgeous in some blue or red nishijin.
