Spyderco Forums

any chance of a quick close up of the blue/black model.

DM

You are correct Yab. The Calypso was the folder. The Morran fixed blade was the first knife Spyderco made with VG-10. The Jr. is my favorite of the Calypso line. I carry my black ZDP model when not at work. The thick handle ,spine to choil, fits my hand better, and I like the spine swedge. The 3.5 i...

Im torn. I like the weight of the pewter, but would like the colors of the FRN.

Either way I would buy a bunch for other items not just knife lanyards.

I would like to see the next Caly 4.0 be made in the US or Taiwan. Japan has some great steels, and with the 3 and the 3.5 we can experience them. But I think it would be a great idea to open the Caly design up to other steels in a locking design. Any thoughts guys?

Here are some old pics I have of the Police 3, Calypso, and Caly 3 together.

Its a great knife. It is definitely what the Caly 3 needed IMO. When I owned a Caly 3 it was nice but a little too short for me as well. I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the new Super blue 3.5 to come out.

DM

I also have to agree that the Mule is an awesome knife and a great every day user. I have an S90V model that goes with me every day to work. It is very comfortable to use especially for long periods of cutting. For me there are no hot spots on the handle and I enjoy using it daily.

I need more.

Lots of good pics here And here is a crappy image of my 3. Calypso, Caly 3.5, and Calypso Jr. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j94/dm_gangl/DSC02413.jpg DM Found an old pic of my Calypso and Caly 3. The Caly 3 was given to my Dad a few Xmas ago so I cant take pics of it anymore. http://i78.photobu...

Like this? http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j94/dm_gangl/DSC02417.jpg Use Mustard. There are several advantages to using mustard. Since its thick its easier to use on the blade without getting any on the edge which will dull the knife. You also get different colors which IMO is nicer looking then s...

So much for getting the super blue Caly 3.5"

So those of you left after the rapture, whats your Spyderco choice for the Zombie apocalypse to come? My axe and my Temp 2 for me.

DM

Since its in the OP, Liner lock Caly design. Wouldn't disagree with a comp lock either.

DM

best pic I have right now. My main dress knife is my SE Calypso.



Don't have any pics yet since I just got it yesterday, but the Bradley is going to join it as well.

DM

If we are talking survival. I want a comfortable handle, and edge retention. For something like bushcraft its a different story. But Im lost in the wilderness and am trying to make it through the night/few days. I would go for M4 PM2 or Gayle Bradley. Very comfortable handle, strong lock, open const...

Congrats :D .

Thoughts and Prayers. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Ive used the points of the fine and ultra fine to sharpen my SE knives. I do a 3:1 stroke. Three on the ground edge 1 on the back to remove the bur. Lather, rinse, and repeat for about 40 strokes. My SE can still push cut paper easily, and have the sharp points of the Japanese SE.

DM

I always ask what they are cutting and cut it for them. A co-worker asked me to sharpen the knife on his leatherman wave. The edge was completely destroyed. I asked what happened. He lent the knife to another coworker to cut some cardboard. He put the cardboard sheet on the concrete floor and dragge...

Im down. It will be the one knife I can find at 4am when Im trying to get ready for work without waking the GF. :D

Well the first is the obvious one in my Sigline. Really cannot wait for the Caly 3.5 in superblue steel. Of the knives released in the Amsterdam thread I have a few. Tuff is at the top, Squeak, Dess Horn, Yo 2, Techno, and Manbug.

Ill take a Military in 20CP.
