Something wrong with my Calypso?

[dePaul]

When folded the blade of my Calypso is not in the extreme central position. It leans leftward. Is this wrong?. When unfolded, there is no play.

My Calypso Jr. does the same thing. It bugged me for a couple of days but then I forgot about it. As long as it doesn't hit the handle you're OK.

Thx for your reply Frank. You´ve calmed me down. And as you said, one gets used to it. But still....

dePaul - the First batch had a slightly warped blade. VG-10 is very difficult to work with in heat treat. Rather than "chuck them" or sell them as seconds, we reduced the price, and put a note on each one explainging the situation. No real effect in use, just slight cosmetic adjustment.

Ok Sal. Thanks for your mess. Now I understand why I couldn´t find a single blade without that warp. And I have to tell you that I really tried! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Hey Greetings DePaul: Sorry to hear you're having problems with a Spyder you own I am curious to ask>> is it the big C-54 Calypso Sprint? I'm curious because I've had 3 of the original late 90s version of that knife and I personally had no problems with any of those models.> I had 2 of the plain edged C-54 and one of the Spyderedged and I found all 3 of those to be well made.

I'm really sad and sorry to hear this because I personally liked all the Caly line myself and the Sprint C54 is on my big want list.

Also if it's a VG-10 blade which I assume it is>> that's one steel I've never had much problem with at all :confused: Curious as to what the problem is in the manufacturing?? I sure hope it gets remedied for you. JD :spyder: O

I was worried this would turn into a thread similar to the delica 4 thread.
