Mark, As far as I know the CX03 only had the micarta handle. The same knife with a stainless steel handle was the CX04 (now C52P or C52S). Regards your questions about FRN vs micarta and the blade steels, I'll leave those answers to Sal or the other experts. Good luck and enjoy! JOHN F JENSEN "...

Mark,
I just noticed that you mentioned above, wanting a Calypso Jr Lightweight with G10 handle. It is only available with a FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon Resin) handle.

When discontinued (the micarta version) the retail was 84.95. If you want a plain blade model call Wright Knife at 1-800-40...

I am definetely a tip down person. My first Spyderco (around 1989) was a C07S Police model that I carried until the the C55P Starmate arrived in mid-1998 (also a tip down). It may be what one gets used to, but I find the drop method is the best for me. When I pull a tip down knife out of my pocket, ...

Be cautious with engraving the metal Crickets. Spyderco had problems with the coating chipping when using the diamond drag engraving process.
