To me, it is the C07S stainless Police Model. There's a reason it has been in continuous production for 40 years.

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

Hi Weeping Minora, Me too. Right now we're working with the maker to see where it can go. They are a small maker and move more slowly. Just found out they still have the tooling for a Calyso Jr with the fish scale bi-directional texture, and they can make a Sprint run of same. We can change color a...

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

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.

Re: Calypso Jr Sprint Run Considerations

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...

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.
