Classiest Spyderco Knife?
Classiest Spyderco Knife?
Thinking about getting a dressy gentleman’s knife for when I wear a suit/am off work. Something a little smaller and less intimidating than the pm2’s I always carry. What is the classiest Spyderco knife currently available, in your opinion? My first thought was a Chaparral, maybe the titanium one. Perhaps a Sage. A lil Native? Maybe a para3? I would love to hear your thoughts!

I've always thought the wood scale chaparral looked classy. I was considering getting one for when I want something fancy.

That’s a nice one! I feel like the dual scales would drive me crazy though lol.

Re: Classiest Spyderco Knife?
If we are talking about currently available then I think it is tough to beat the Chaparral.
Beyond the previous mentioned.
Birdseye Maple and Raffir Noble
Also, perfect for hard use.

May your feet be warm and dry and your throat warm with whiskey. A knife in hand or in the sock band.

A Ti Damascus Delica may even have some appeal . MG2

The maple version is indeed a beautiful knife.

Re: Classiest Spyderco Knife?
I have a couple of chappies but I usually reach for my Kapara when I’m dressing up.
Re: Classiest Spyderco Knife?
all of these suggestions are too bulky. you need an ikuchi.
keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.

Re: Classiest Spyderco Knife?
I vote a kapara with the beautiful carbon fiber.
Re: Classiest Spyderco Knife?
Kapara with it's CF is excellent for that too.
The Spyopera would be excellent as well. Especially the upcoming sprint, but the standard is fantastic to look at. I don't own one, but have certainly fondled one multiple times in a store.

Caly 3.5 CF and cladded blade with that polished finished. So many good ones.
