Bought on the last drop but the scales are pretty plain. Since I don’t get a choice this is a knife I need to see before buying. I was hoping for something interesting.

The problem with massdrop is that their offerings are really no longer a drop. To make matters worse, one has to wait much longer to get their order. This is very disappointing. This knife is available everywhere for the same price. How is this offering from Massdrop even a drop?

MonTexIt's a pretty good deal for Massdrop too. Unlike any other retailers, they know exactly how many to order from the supplier and know you can't return it. Pass.

I have this knife with carbon fiber scales - it's an excellent knife and I have never regretted buying it.
One thing that never gets mentioned in the Chaparrel's description is its pocket clip. The design of the clip and how it is connected to the handle allow it to ride quite a bit lower in a pocket than most of Spyderco's other pocket clips. It also can be repositioned for either point-up or point-down carry and for either left or right handed carry.

I’ve read that this knife should be bought in person, to make sure the scales are as pretty as the pictures. It’s beauty seems to be very hit or miss.

I'm interested in a Chaparral, but some who comment about it report a sharp lockbar. By design, the lockbar is the same width as the spine, and with such a thin blade, the lockbar is likewise thin. As a typical Taichung product, it has flat, sharp metallic edges. The result seems to be that in use the lockbar feels uncomfortably sharp to some. Can anyone comment on this? It's common that lock mechanisms become easier to use over time, and many reviews are done on new, unused knives.
The other thing I'd like to know is whether the handle and ergonomics work for a large hand/XL glove size. Any idea how the handle feels compared to, say, a Native or Sage?

I got mine when they first came out. Beautiful knife and great slicer. Excellent for EDC but wouldn't recommend it for any heavy work as the blade is thin and delicate.

kaxixiI find the steel to be somewhat chippy but it keeps an edge for a while. I have a manix 2 in XHP. I haven't sharpened it yet, so I don't know how hard it is to sharpen.
I will contradict the previous poster and say I prefer S35VN, which is somewhat softer but not chippy, much tougher.

Is the backside scale (clip side) that much differ from the front as the photos show? The front looks attractive, but the backside looks terrible. Now if both sides were the same appearance you’d have a sale.
This, and the quality control issues described below has me hesitant. 🤔

glennacMaybe I'm misinterpreting the comments but is it a quality control issue or just a matter of the scales not looking as good as in the pictures?

BknguyenIt's definitely the consistency of the scales. Take a look at the sample pics provided. The front scale everyone agrees is quite attractive. But look at the scale on the clip side. It's just parallel wire mesh. No sculpted patterns as on the front. Very disappointing.
Naturally, that is just one sample. And the other photos I'm seeing online show very attractive patterns on both sides. So the chance of getting a good one is likely. Still, If I had received the one used in the sample photos here I would be very disappointed. If you scroll down you'll see one participant that received a very disappointing piece much like the one on the sample photos. Extremely plain with parallel lines instead of a sculpted (camo-like) pattern.
Since the very sample used in the photos above, and one participant here already showing a disappointing scale design, I'm concerned about the chances of getting one that won't be very pleasing.
