The new G-10 Dragonfly has jimping added to the rear spine and finger choil. The jimping will carry over to the refined FRN version planned for the future. Perfect! I can't wait... The front liner on the Cricket really couldn't be any thinner. Putting a FRN scale over the liner would require a new ...

Jimping is an interesting thought. We thought about adding it to the choil. Where would you add jimping? sal Sal- I am a huge fan of jimping on most any knife. I have added it myself to many of my Spydies that did not have it. I would agree that the Cricket would most likely benefit from jimping on...

I might be interested depending on when/where.

Thanks. Had a few telemarketers call in the last month & thought something must be up...

I've actually thought about mods and upgrade to the cricket quite a bit... Second I want some grip. Something better than the etched verson. I think a shadowboxed g10 scale on the nonlocking side would do the trick perfectly. I just ordered an SS cricket after hemming and hawing over it for a while...

Sounds like a Delica 3.

Vivi- I had the same problem with an SS Robin I gave to a female friend. She told me it was so stiff she couldn't use it safely. I looked it over and she was right. Tension on the lock bar was so stiff I even felt unsafe using it. Cleaning & lubing had no measurable effect. I sent it back for he...

I have several. They are better than you'd expect for the money.

Is it case A (sandwhiched) or case B (everything below the line is ZDP)? Not quite sure about your diagrams, but I don't think you have it right yet. The Zdp is in fact sandwiched between 420, however the way the knife is ground means that below the lamination line you only see ZDP. The cutting edg...

They were made by Camillus on contract. A bit sub par on fit and finish, but perfectly serviceable.

That's one of the reasons it went on my wish list- one liner equals more lighter :D !

Congrats on 500. Your posts are a great addition to our forum. Thanks- I'm in!

You should look into a Spyderco sharpmaker. They are around $50 retail and are worth every penny. Believe me I tried a pile of other sharpeners and nothing comes close to a Sharpmaker. If you can't afford one now send your knife to Spyderco for resharpening($5) and save up for the Sharpmaker. Those ...

Caly Jr tip up, screw construction.
Grey G-10 Dragonfly, unlined or super thin liners.
Something flat ground in 1095 carbon steel with a :spyder: on the blade.

How many pieces were produced for this Sprint??? Anybody know? Its really not a good time for me to buy a $100 knife, but I wants it! Hope they last a while so I can scrounge up some cash...

araneae

Thank you guys im glad that you mentiond the difference in tip up or down, i like the clip/tip configuration on the Caly 3. I would not want a knife that was tip down. Were any of the Jr s before tip up? sixheads No. They were all tip down. Don't let that discourage you though. If you like a lightw...

Several of my spydies have slight amounts of vertical movement. This should not however affect the security of their locks. My Gen 1 Delicas have less movement than my D4s.

Nice pics Brad. You convinced me, the Rookie is on my wish list!

araneae

Well, you all convinced me. I've been in the market for a gentleman's knife...One question: What are the advantages of G10 over FRN? Congrats, you won't be disappointed. I left my White d'fly in a pair of pants at work today :( I will miss it all weekend. G-10 is a bit more highly regarded by many....
