Post by Medic »

Finally lost my dear edc knife :( honestly have no idea where it is, I think I went to a bar one night and left it inside someones car, but its been gone for 3-4 months so I consider it to be gone for good.

My first and only EDC that I carried for years!

RIP EDC SPYDERCO CALY 3

Few pics of the real user!

She never gave me problems, even after never bathing her not even once! never a lock failure, nothing! Just kept her sharp and she treated me good!

As for what I am going to replace her with ... I dont think I am going to get another spyderco, its kind of like getting the same dog after one passes, may try a emerson traveler. Actually just saw the UK PK for 25 bux hmm..

Sorry to hear that.

I lost my faithful, scarred and battered UKPK. I waited 3 months before ordering a replacement. Same day I found my old UKPK in an old boot under the stairs. There's hope yet!

I guess I do not think like most people. I would have no problem getting the same breed of dog as the one I had just lost; certainly the same would apply with knives, unless I wanted something different for a good reason.

Go for the super blue caly 3.5 after owning all yhe recent caly variants this one is the finest, and woykf look great if you treat it the same as your vg 10 the patina is great.

Delica and Endura are great knives! They're the low priced crack samples that'll get you hooked on spyderco! Feed the need!

Well, I am sorry to hear you lost your dear Caly 3. I have a user of my own and couldn't imagine parting with it. The easiest replacement would be a Caly 3.5 in VG 10. It is a little awkward switching to the larger model, I do admit, but you'll be surprised how quickly you adjust. I love my Caly 3.5 and it has pushed my Caly 3 back into its box.

may I recommend a caly Cf with ZDP if you want to stay in that size range.

My main suggestion is a caly 3.5, and if you can, get it in Aogami super. Super steel, Super amazing, super quality, super-myfavorite :D

ya, I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to get yet .. But after not carrying for a few months I am getting knife depressed! If I do get another spyderco, I really think I want to get one made in the USA considering how much I carry and use it!

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms..disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one." - Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria

It's like breaking up with your girlfriend. Maybe this time around you're gonna try a redhead instead of a brunette ;)


With knives, if i lost one i would probably buy the same thing again, but maybe try to get a sprint version or something. It takes a lot of love for me to buy the same thing twice.

Huh? By this reasoning, a Tenacious [China] or a Stretch [Japan] isn't worth or appropriate for carrying.

No, being that my caly 3 was not made in America, clearly that isn't my reasoning ;)

I just want my next knife to be made in the USA.

It's between a native 5 G10 or the para military 2 PE G10 silver blade - as much as I like the para I think it is slightly too big for EDC for the typical sheep I live around in NJ

Yeah, me too, actually. I'd love a Para-Miltary2 but only in SE, which isn't currently in production.

I was in living in NY not too long ago and tried carrying a Para 2 for EDC. It was definitely a bit too big for the sheeple. Plus, it ate up a lot more pocket room than the Caly 3.

I'd probably choose the Native 5 but I have yet to have one in hand. Shouldn't be too much different than the Caly 3, other than overall thickness.

Bah, that's part of the fun! My philosophy is to stay within the law but everything else is fair game. Never been accused of being social. :)
