absolutely stunning construction the moki factory (if i am correct) puts into these blades. the overall fit, finish, and feel is way ahead above the spydies built at the other seki factories

I got the Caly 3 SE about six months ago. Great knife :D . It is such a comfortable knife to use. Also it rides in pocket almost unnoticed. I am surprised it went into closeout pricing for the spyderedge. So far I've used it quite a lot and it still has a sharp edge. :)

My birthday is at the end of August, told the wife I want a Caly 3 and sent her a e-mail with a link to one at NGK. Now that I work in an office environment, a Caly 3 seemed like a good Spyderco to own.

Of course I sent a similar e-mail to my parents with a link to a Orange G10 Urban. :D

My Caly 3's are doing great. I have owned my SE for probably 2 years I would guess. It had to be sent in to Spyderco only once for some very small chips in the tip of the blade and a good sharpening. I also have the PE and the CF but those don't get carried much.

I had the pleasure to buy the Caly 3 SE as my first spyderco two months ago. The knife is almost perfect. The outstanding quality caused me to purchase a Lava soon after and now a paramilitary. If you don't own a Caly make it your next purchase.

The Caly3 SE has been my favorite EDC for over a year! There almost isn't anything it hasn't sliced open or cut in two. I like it so much that I just bought two more at closeout prices w/discounts at Sierra Trading Post as backups!

However, my new D2 Para has been getting lots of carry time in the past week or so...

The Caly 3 is definitely one of the great ones, and the best 3" bladed, full ambi, model Spyderco has. My Stretches gets much more carry time, but my CF Caly 3 would be my first choice if traveling.

I love mine. It has to be hands down one of the finest quality folders Spyderco makes.

A truely functional folder,that not only deserves to use premium materials,like CF and ZDP bladesteel but also delivers all the aspects of what a pocket knife should do and be..I would love to see a Titanium handle version of this gem,that ofcourse without steelliners,more less like a UKPK,but with the backlock.wouldnt that be an even lighter folder..stil using VG10 bladesteel..dream Spydie?

I have the CF/ZDP model and the PE VG-10 model. I would say the CF model gets 85-90% of the carry time. I absolutely love this knife. It's smooth as a babies bottom, rides well in my pocket, and only needs a touch up every 1-2 weeks.

I typically use my VG-10 Caly for rougher tasks, that little knife has competently handled everything I threw at it.

I love my CF version so much I may get a "pre-need replacement" before I get a CF stretch.

Love it probably my all around favorite pocket knife and priced good too.

I would like to see an FRN version in VG-10, (Anyhting but ZDP). To make it lighter.

But i am happy with my g10 version just fine.

I EDC VG10/G10 Caly3 for almost three years, I love it. It has normal signs of use and still looks great. If Spyderco would make FRN Caly3 @ price close to Delica, I would be in for couple and replace FRN with wood

I got mine in a trade and love it. Perfect size

Lately I have been carrying it IWB and cant even notice its there.

Love the low carrying wire clip.

I guess with a knife like the Caly3,specialy CF,you can stock up on more than one..always good to have backups..makes you feel more prepared.

I to am admirer of the Caly3, CE. It's a super slicer with a quiet, small appearance. It was the first of the low profile knives, IIRC.

I fell in love with the basic model, so I had to buy the CF version when it came my way. Since I have acquired another CE just in case of losing the first.

I have a large collection, but other than special occasions, I carry the Caly3.

I so love this knife that have bought all three variants.
I think it is the best Spyderco 3" folder.
I carry only G10/VG10 plain version, other is for collection :)

Alex,
Welcome to the Forum

On the subject of Caly III, Sierra Trading Post has the serrated one on close out for 74.95. Looks like a pretty good deal if someone is interested. I just can't warm up to anything else but PE myself.

Actually they have some real good prices on some other Spyderco's as well.

IE: Lava, Polliwog and some Byrds.
