I have been reading the forums here for a few months now and have decided to get a Spyderco. I have only had Swiss army knives and Bucks but I thought it was time to move up. So I decided to get a Spyderco. I really can’t wait to get it. I chose the Calypso Jr as my first. I wanted a black one but the grey is also nice. I’ve seen some of you guys becoming addicted so I wanted to start off slow.
I hope its good, just saying hello
Thx
Will

Calypso Jr.
Up until recently, the Calypso Jr. was my favorite. I've had a black PE one, a black SE one, and recently a grey PE. I think the grey is the slickest color, not too many knives out there that color. The forthcoming burgundy I think will be nice, too. :rolleyes:
Anyway, I've "upgraged" to the penknife, which is basically a Calypso with higher grade materials and a slipjoint lock instead of a lockback.
I've heard Calypso are getting scarce (don't know if thats true or not) but I see black and grey ones on ebay fairly often.
Good luck, and ease into your addiction! :eek:

Welcome. You'll enjoy it here. I just got my Calypso Jr. today in the mail. I haven't seen it yet, but I ordered the Grey FRN from Spyderco.
I'll be posting a review at BladeForums.com later tonight after I see the knife and get to play with it a bit.
Cheers,
Fisher of Men
Aloha and welcome Scotch!

If you pick it up you will be bitten by the Spyder Disease :eek: :eek:
THE SPYDERCO FANATIC DISEASE :eek:
If you put it in you hand you will be lost
You will join the rest of us steel sniffing, hole playing, crazies :eek: YOU HAVE BEEN FAIRLY WARNED!!
Oh yeah, HOWDY!, and welcome to the forum :D
Those in the know use Spyderco.
if you like screaming sharp knives, you will LOVE the calypso. heck, it's my only knife that passes the toilet paper test. and I love VG10...more so than S30V. the grey FRN immediately "upgrades" the calypso to a different league...I wish the ZDP189 version would be in grey, not burgundy.....

First they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not stand up, because I was not a Trade Unionist.
