Spyderco Chaparral replica Cut Test: From Rough Stuff to Fidgety Favorite

Time to put my Spyderco Chaparral replica through our Redneck Cut Tests. I picked this one up from Temu over a year ago for $25, and it needed a little TLC before it was ready for action. After some sandpaper work, this little knife turned into one of my most fidgety daily fidgets - so I figured it was time to see if it could actually cut as well as it fidgets.

Like usual, this budget blade with mystery steel caught me off guard with how well it performed. Was it worth the twenty-five bucks I dropped on it? You'll have to stick around and see how it handled our cardboard, rope, hose, and wood tests to find out if this Temu find earned its keep in my collection.
