Any word on the status of the serrated version and if it will have similar “wavy” serrations as the Caribbean?

Hi Saucerito, At this point, We've given them a number of designs, so it will depend on which they choose to make first. It was suggested to make a sprint of the Calypso jr FRN with the fishscale scales. Any interest? sal Sal, The Calypso Jr isn’t a model I’ve ever given much thought as I‘m not ver...

My plan is to try to revive the Caly Family with a Caly 2.5", 3.0", 3.5", 4.0" and pendants. The maker is small and slower so it will be a while. Probably Carbon Fiber, though I'm open to suggestions. sal Sal, does this mean the 3.5 LW isn’t at the top of the list anymore? I rec...

I also had an issue with the kitchen knife I ordered which I feel to be well outside of the seconds definition (functional and safety issue). I am going through Spyderco Customer Service and expect them to be a little slow this time of year. I am still awaiting a reply but would not expect Spyderco...

Dear Sal: Thank you very much for the kind words. I'm humbled and honored. Back when the first-gen Yojimbo was still in the works, I took a Rescue 93mm and reground it to a Wharncliffe. That "RescueJimbo" had a very aggressive SpyderEdge tooth pattern and, in testing with Pork Man clothed...

Yes, the “wavy” serrations are exactly what TimButterfield referenced and are very distinctive on the Caribbean.

I’m really hoping this model has the wavy serrations like the Caribbean. It will be a must buy if so. As much as I like the Caribbean, it is too large and bulky to be an around the house/athletic short IWB EDC for me. Are there any other Taichung knives with serrations? Just trying to gauge the like...

Does anyone know if it’s been mentioned if the Caly 3.5 LW will have a 4 way clip? It seems most (all?) Spyderco FRN backlocks larger than dragonfly have a 4 way clip.

I also feel like my thumb needs to move down on the blade when using the choil on the Manix, and I don’t have hands nearly as large as Vivi. To me, though, using the choil has less to do with control of the blade as it does with feel for the end of the sharpened edge. There’s nothing worse than catc...

When using a knife with a finger choil that also allows a full grip on the handle, do you naturally grip using the choil or not? If a knife has a choil, I naturally tend to use it so I have more control and feel of where the sharpened edge ends. I usually grip the Delica using the faux-choil too. In...

Screenshot_20230525_124027_Samsung Notes.jpg Looks like some tiny serrations. I'm a little hesitant about tiny serrations after a couple bad reprofile jobs. I hope these come in at or less than 15 degrees. Could be a photoshop issue. The partially serrated version has different teeth but the two im...

Wartstein, This post won’t answer your question but I feel like this as good a place to post this as any. I lurk on this site more often than posting but I’ve seen you post about the Endela serrations quite a bit. Unfortunately, I haven’t gotten a chance to see them in real life but I’ve seen pictur...

I was positive that the LW Caly 3.5 would be revealed at A'dam this year. Good thing I didn't lay money on it. I was 90% sure that the LW would be one of the stars at the A’dams meeting. Bummer ! Is it know that it wasn’t? Are people allowed to talk about the things that were revealed but can’t tak...

... ..... As long as people are buying the knives then they should be free to do what they want with them. Maybe Spyderco could start a Beta program where spyderco sends knives/products to people (that have gone through a vetting process) to test with an expectation for certain uses and reporting/s...

Maybe Spyderco could start a Beta program where spyderco sends knives/products to people (that have gone through a vetting process) to test... This makes me nervous. Spyderco getting to choose the select few who get early access sounds like boondoggle waiting to happen. How do prove that you use yo...

Is this actually the first sprint where the "defining feature" is the kind of grind? (And not steel for example?) I think so? (Just can recall the "blade shape sprint" with the back then new and unique straight spine Stretch with ivory FRN scales). Again: It will/would probably ...

I almost exclusively carry Spyderco and one of my favorite features is the thumb hole. This hole, however, does tend to result in knives that are wider in the pocket than similar length knives from other manufacturers.
