i like using my pinky and opening into a reverse grip. Not that i've ever needed it in reverse grip, it's just fun. I saw Michael Janich open a yo2 (i think) like that in a video once.

False, and I doubt I'm either as attentive or attractive too. Sorry to disappoint guys.

The next person has a habit of rubbing random lamps in the hope that genie Sal will pop out and grant their wish of seeing an H1 knife with G10.

i wonder if the small ridged micro-finish on the scales would reduce scratches as smooth Ti is prone to collect over time?

I'm in the same camp as Evil D. I used to carrry a delica IWB but found that the butt of the knife that sticks beyond the clip (and consequently above the wasitband) dug into my hip if I leaned over to the side. My caly 3.5 lives there now and I hardly know it's there. Probably helps that it's butt ...

exactly what blerv said. I had a cara cara which was almost spyderco worthy if you don't nitpick toooo much. It was a fantastic knife for the price and ended up making a much appreciated gift for a coworker. 8Cr13MoV is comparable to 420J... soft but takes a wicked edge very easily. holds up a bit b...

My dream knife would be a caly 3.5 (my current favorite at least). Just as it comes, except for one addition: as many 100$ bills stuffed under the clip as can be fit! keep it simple right?

I'm positive that I'm the minority here, but I'm not a fan of spydie serrations in a softer steel like H1. I have salt 1s in both PE and SE and much much prefer PE. Granted I use them both quite hard, but i ended up chipping the SE. Not the points, but inside the serration valleys. I chipped the PE ...

Yeah I agree with broccoli on this one. Too beefy in stature and price for me. A nice novelty and I can see the appeal, just not my thing. Thanks for the review!

I decided to focus my entry on Spyderco's incredible ability to cut. We are all familiar and fond the good old paper cut test, so my shot depicts a "dream paper cut test" with lacerated paper flying out back in fear of the irresistible power of the Caly 3.5. Anyway hope you like it, thanks...

I've never skinned or processed with mine, but it is a fantastic blade! I'm sure it would excel at just about any task you give it.
