I hope if anything this design serves as an idea proposal to spyderco to make a knife like this in this shape and size, I think Sal would know how to take the idea I’m shooting for here and refine it better than I can, I believe it would be a beautiful piece, and I’d definitely buy one though it’d b...

;) Here is what I thought would be a cool comparison shot, my goal in drawing this knife basically was what if you took the calypso jr design and adapted it into a fixed blade without a finger choil and full 3” cutting edge. My dream would be to have the handle material and finish identical to the o...

IMG_5238.jpeg IMG_5237.jpeg Here is some measurement references. This design is pretty close, (can’t say perfect) to an ideal edc fixed blade design for me. For materials I’m starting out with high carbon 52100, cherry wood handle and steel pins. Eventually wanna get something a little more stainle...

Thanks

Yup. But a bit different. Main differences being a slimmer more neutral handle and a larger thumbramp. For the handle I was inspired by the original C model handles like the worker, and the Caly jr blade enlarged.

I’m definitely going to try to make something like this for my homemade fixedblade edc knife

It would be cool if spyderco made a fixed blade like this. Very typical spyderco ergonomics in a fixed blade but a little more slim and neutral than the enuff fixed blade. And with a more calypso style blade and thumb ramp

Agreed...the Caly Jr. has an exceptionally nice lock release. This is the best spyderco/glesser edc folder design. Just beautiful, functional, and combines all of spydercos core design elements. The black micarta is THE version for me, but I also do like the unique texture for the frn version of th...

This is the best spyderco/glesser edc folder design. Just beautiful, functional, and combines all of spydercos core design elements. The black micarta is THE version for me, but I also do like the unique texture for the frn version of this knife, and this unique dark grey version is an awesome color...

I’m still not a big cheap plastic fan personally. Steel bolsters, bone, micarta and pins options would look excellent on this knife imo

A sal classic

This has been my main carry this week. Just the perfect edc size, and perfect spyderco design essence

He already has, it’s called the calypso

Nothings topped the spyderco kopa for a spyderco folder in this size range,

It’s just preference honestly. Get what better suits your design preferences ideally based on a mix between what aesthetics you prefer and performance you’re looking to get from a spyderco folder in this size. An obvious thing to point out would be the lil native is a bit more stout and hand filling...

Calypso.

And there you have it

It doesn’t. Keep in mind that the Urban and Squeak models feature a simplified slipit construction compared to the UKPK. AFAIK so far only the UKPK has the more involved and subjectively much nicer feeling mechanism. A Chap slippie could be marketed much more premium than the basic Urban and could ...
