I am so looking forward to that Serrata ... I just can't wait :)

An idle thought, but I wondered if it were a candidate for the N690 or even 3V treatment?

Nothing against FRN at all - in fact I like it and have a D'fly and a coupe of Delica4s What I'd like to see is the Caly3.5 as sprint runs in a few shades of G10 and a few other steels. I have the supendously good VG10 version, but the SuperBlue doesn't really appeal I can imagine myself actually cr...

The Caly is, IMO, one of the finest production blades in existence
:) I agree, especially with regard to the G10 version

It might be, at the moment, that the Dfly is to the Delica, what the Delica is to the Endura.

The Urban has some shared characteristics with the Dfly, but it is a slippie

It's the wear that makes a coated blade so handsome - no babying it :) Looking forward to picking up a black coated Para2 soon I wonder if we will be able to look forward to different coloured coatings on Spyderco's knives in the future?

Just dropped some loot on a Caly 3.5 - so I have been trawling the reviews.

Just a note to say that it is the G10/VG10 combo that makes the Calys so good.

The CF/ZDP one I have is nice, but not so companionable (seems to be catching looks at itself in the mirror a lot of the time :lol :)
