My improved LW Chaparral....now became my best urban EDC !
As soon as I saw this moded Chaparral in an auction,I knew I had to have it. Never mind the british racing green dyed handle, that moded blade is what makes me a happy camper.This I tell you , it's a better user with that kinda reverse tanto tip .... it looks awesome too :cool: I am going to mod another one myself ASAP. This moded Chapie just became my perfect urban edc :spyder: I expect some feedback from a certain Doc

That looks pretty cool. It is almost a clip point, rather than a reverse tanto. Still, it looks okay. I think if the grind on the spine was moved back towards the tang just a small amount, it would be even more pleasing to the eye still. The Chaparral is a great little knife.

I'm glad you like it, but I prefer the original blade.

Better when I need to thrust...

Thanks for the picture.
I may dye my Lt Chap in a GREEN. Didn't think one could dye that shade of gray too a green.

Awesome! Love the new grind and handle color.
If possible, could you let us know which color of RIT dye was used?

Nice, I like the grind.
Prefer the aesthetics of this more obvious angle change to the subtle (but once you see it you always see it) hump of the factory spine.

Very cool- I gave my delica a straight spine and a slight swedge but that’s about all my excitement
