Product Description
The Spyderco Chaparral C152GPBOR puts one of the most wear-resistant steels in production cutlery into one of Spyderco's slimmest gentleman's folders, built for carriers who want to sharpen as rarely as possible.
Crucible's CPM REX 121 is a powder-metallurgy high-speed tool steel packed with vanadium, tungsten, and cobalt, giving it edge retention at the far end of anything offered in a pocketknife. On the Chaparral's thin full-flat grind, it keeps slicing cardboard, rope, and packaging long after conventional EDC steels go dull. The trade-off is care: REX 121 is not stainless, so wipe it dry, keep it lightly oiled, and sharpen on diamond or CBN.
- 2.80" CPM REX 121 drop point, full-flat grind, satin finish: extreme edge life with low-drag slicing.
- Burnt Orange G-10 scales: grippy, impact-resistant, and slim enough to ride flat in a pocket.
- Spyderco Round Hole opener and Back Lock: ambidextrous opening with solid lockup.
- 2.35 oz, tip-up clip for left- or right-side carry.
Ideal for: exotic-steel collectors, office carriers who need a non-tactical 3.63" closed folder, and anyone tired of resharpening every week.

Spyderco Chaparral C152GPBOR FAQ
Answers to the questions we hear most about the Chaparral in CPM REX 121.
What steel is the Spyderco Chaparral C152GPBOR made from?
The C152GPBOR uses CPM REX 121, a Crucible powder-metallurgy high-speed tool steel with high vanadium, tungsten, and cobalt content. It is built for maximum wear resistance, so the edge lasts far longer between sharpenings than common EDC steels.
Is CPM REX 121 stainless steel?
No. CPM REX 121 has roughly 4% chromium, well below stainless levels, so it can rust or stain if left wet. Wipe the blade dry after use and keep a light coat of oil on it, especially in humid weather or pocket carry against the body.
How do I sharpen a CPM REX 121 blade?
Use diamond or CBN abrasives. The hard vanadium carbides in REX 121 resist conventional stones, so diamond plates or a guided system with diamond stones will set and maintain the edge far more efficiently.
What lock and clip does the Chaparral C152GPBOR use?
It uses a Back Lock that opens and closes the same way in either hand, with a Spyderco Round Hole opener. The pocket clip is tip-up and can be mounted for left- or right-side carry.
What is included with the Spyderco Chaparral C152GPBOR?
The knife ships with its pocket clip installed. No sheath is included. Package contents are subject to change by the manufacturer.
