Re: Any news on the Kapara slipjoint?

I would rather be interested in a smaller Kapara with a liner lock.

Re: Calypso Jr Sprint Run Considerations

I can only wish and pray that Sal will be on top of this project and it’s going to become a reality ASAP… preferably during my life time 🙏 😬

Re: New Manix 2 with Uneven Bevel

Uneven bevels is not “normal” IMO. The fact that most people accept the situation doesn’t mean that it’s not an issue. For the money we pay they should come with even and consistent cutting bevels on both sides. Most buyers don’t have the skills and/or the tools to solve this issue and some are quit...

Re: Recommendations for a European traditionalist

... As Wartstein said, our minister of interior affairs just announced they are working on a bill to restrict knives basically the same way as Germany or the UK does, so if this bill should pass it's going to be a UK PK or Lil Native Slipit anyways :) .... Man, we can´t let that happen! This is not...

Re: Military 2 CF s90v sprint run

For me, the KW exclusive RIL CF/Ti Millie in S90V is the Military to end all of them. The King. I am the proud owner of two of them. That being said I shall do my best to get at least one Military 2 in CF and S90V.

I agree with all of that, except the PE part. SE is a big part of Spyderco history.

Re: Spyderco 50th Anniversary Knife?

The most iconic Spyderco deserves to be the chosen one ; the mighty SS SE Police - C07S. Tuffram scales and SPY27 combo would be nice. That being said I wouldn't mind a Worker as long as it's in spyderedge.

I personally don’t want ANY changes made to it. Keep the Caly Jr the Caly Jr. Totally agree ! The Calypso jr. is perfect as it is. I like everything about it but I wouldn’t mind an adjustable pivot.

OK, to play Devil’s advocate here, the ultimate CQI version of the Calypso Jr. hopefully exists as the up and coming FRN Caly, which comes complete with all these requested updates. Don’t fix what isn’t really broke… Yep, you would think that they should enjoy the upcoming “improved” Caly3 and leav...

Re: Calypso Jr Sprint Run Considerations

I personally don’t want ANY changes made to it. Keep the sharpening notch, no jimping or any other thing that would make it a cousin vs a sibling to all the others. Absolutely; the effort made to resurrect this particular Calypso family member should be purely done. Subsequent Calypso/Caly family m...

Re: Calypso Jr Sprint Run Considerations

This is great news for me. I love the Calypso jr. even more than the Caly3. I voted SPY27 but I wouldn't mind one in LC or Cruwear.

Re: So, Sal, is the Caly3 model extinct ?!

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...

Re: Shot Show recap, thoughts, things I learned

The liner lock is my fav lock in general and Spyderco made liner locks are the best in the industry. No brainer construction, easy and intuitive to manipulate and strong enough for the average and right in the head user. Some models almost require a liner lock and yet they sport a comp lock. Kapara ...
