I'm super keen on trying Super Blue in this package, but HAP-40 or H1 would please me too!

I dream of having a Caly Jr. SALT!

My vote was for Super Blue, but I do not like the lamination (e.g. on my Stretch). I was thinking that it couldn't be possible to have Super Blue un-laminated blades, then I've seen this photo here on Forum (not mine obviously, thanks @xceptnl whom I stealed from :rolleyes: )
Image
It is a Caly I suppose, and it has full Super Blue it seems. So is it possible ? :D :D :D

Could be awesome.

Could someone more experienced in steels explain to me more about Japan Paper steels and their lamination or not?
Thanks all :spyder:

I was half asleep when I saw this post earlier and didn't fully read it as my eyes hadn't adjusted but I thought to myself, that patina looks just like mine did years ago. :D

No need for an apology, full photo creds were given and I am glad to see it reposted.

Thanks man! You're very kind.
Also it seems that an integral Super Blue blade could work, isn't it? :)

It does seem reasonable to me, but i am always willing to pay premium for the steels I want.

More eye candy to keep the interest flowing...

Custom grind on this one. Appleseed on the front and factory hollow on the back.

I'm on board for any Caly Jr. variant. That was the first Spyderco I ever bought back around 2000 and still my second fav model after Caly 3. In fact, I was lucky enough to be browsing ye ol' auction site at the right time to snag this handsome fella and he was waiting in my mailbox when I got home from work today. Welcome to the family, Mr. Micarta. :)

The Stainless Caly Jr. is sort of a forgotten Classic. I liked it so much that I propose that they even do a Sprint Run of the old Stainless Caly Jr in PE & SE both just like the original.

The Micarta version would be my second pick. Now I could do without the hollow grind like the original stainless model was beccause I do like full flat grind just a bit better. And FFG seems to work much better in SE too.

Or have we considered a Carbon Fiber handle? Or would that make it too pricey?

Go ahead and flip a coin then use one of those two, you don't know what you're missing.

Marius, I agree with Landon. You need to use one of them! Mine is a CC version too ;)
