Caly3.5: 0.364"
Sage1 Carbon Fiber: 0.44"

Well, just to pile on here... The Caly 3.5 was my first "real" knife (not counting my little SE Ladybug 3). I carried it and loved it for a long time, then I thought maybe I should try some other Spydies. I tried over 50 different models, in every size range and lock configuration. Now I'm...

4 Forum Natives passed through my hands (2 for me, 2 for another guy). All had a little bit of play.

This little guy (SE Ladybug 3) was my first Spydie. http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w636/Shakyamuni25/Knives/6c3f1632-5bea-4efd-aaae-8478a0325ac3_zps7f0c7815.jpg One day I tried to cut an apple with it for my kids and learned that (1) the blade was way too small, and (2) serrated edge makes a re...

Had a SB Caly 3.5 and sold it (can't handle the upkeep of a non-stainless blade). Had a CF Caly 3.5 and sold it (There was a gap between the scale and the liner and I didn't like the smoothness of the CF). My first "real" spydie was a VG-10 Black G-10 Caly 3.5, and after trying more than 5...

Added. Thanks!

Thanks Deacon, first post updated.

I have a Domino and it seems to be exactly the same thickness of the Para 2, but I don't have an official measurement yet.

Really ironic. After about five years I stopped carry Calys. Native5 kicked them out of my pocket. But yesterday I realized how much do I miss them. Today Caly3.5 is in my FRP. Most likely will stay there for a little while. Probably will rotate with Persian. :) Same here, except I stopped carrying...

Cutleryshoppe finally has them up for "pre-order." Lowest price of every site so far.

Here is the thread I created for these measurements, but looks like nobody has contributed the SS Dragonfly or Equilibrium yet:

Totally need this shirt...

Thanks for chiming in Per-Sev, and thanks again Deacon for your contributions! I have added the Tuff and CF Balance to the table.

Anyone out there who gets a Domino, I'm dying to know the handle thickness on that one!?

Caly 3 or 3.5

Tried repeatedly from exactly 9:00AM until 9:16AM, finally got it!

Same error here.

I'm not sure, because I bought it that way. I'll check with the original owner and see if he remembers.

Yep, it looks great!

No entry here, just an excuse to post pics. Here's my Air: http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w636/Shakyamuni25/Air/cd95b531-650f-419d-a44b-715bf080e3cd_zps97733a8c.jpg And here's my sheath (mockup of one that a forum member is making for me, hence I defer winning to someone else) http://i1333.phot...

Endgame, I tried to get a head start on your contest because I thought you would post the pictures during the day when I could work on it, but you posted at night when I couldn't do anything. Anyway, I went back through the ~50 threads that you've started, most of them talking about the knives that ...

I knew I would love this knife, but that photo you posted looks so much better than the mock-up. Even more excited now. Where'd you find that, Shakyamuni?
