I don't think I can't say anything that hasn't already been said. I don't know why I waited so long to get this knife. All I can say is if you are on the fence, don't waste another second and get it. Thank you Sal for such a great design.
What other Spyderco's do you have that you could compare this to?

I really want a VG-10 Caly 3.5, but I haven't been able to snag a trade for one yet and am not going to have any funds available for a long, long time haha. Oh well, I seriously wonder how many Caly's have been bought just from this thread alone. :D :spyder:
This might be a stupid question, but it is pretty important to me. Can you put a high carry Manix 2 LW wire clip on a Caly 3.5? I love every feature of the Caly 3.5 except for the deep carry and this would totally fix that for less than $10.

I tried on 4 different occasions to trade for a Caly 3.5 and thought I had the knives to make the trade happen and didn't get a single offer. Now I can see why people hang on to it. I sold my last PM2 which was perfect to fund for my 3.5 and I don't regret it one bit.
Should be more CF. This variant is in production for much longer than VG10/G10 was. Is this a hint that we need the sprint of VG10/G10 Caly3? Let's say in dark green color :)
When I hear you say Dark Green, I hear in my head "polished" Dark Green. :)

Yes, you can.
ETA: These are not the fingerprints you're looking for. :p

Yes it will certainly work. I will gladly trade you a spare M2 LWT clip for your Caly deep carry. I have even played with the idea of placing the Dragonfly clip on my Caly.

I have nothing else that I could compare the 3.5 to. It's very slim and the blade is perfect. I was worried that the blade was going to be too big but not at all. IMO a lot of the pictures you see does not do the knife justice. If the Sage was is still uncomfortable for you, I would sell it and use the money to buy a 3.5. I think you would like the 3.5 a lot.
I have the Sage 1 and Sage 2 and while I like the Sage I have always thought it to be a little bit short and stubby or wide. The Caly 3.5 is what you would have if you grasped a Sage firmly and stretched it enough to do away with the short stubby effect giving it a perfect streamline profile and at the same time leaving a perfect hand print in the handle for perfect ergonomics.

Darn, it does work... :p Now I want a Caly 3.5 even more haha. If and when I get a Caly 3.5 I'll gladly take you up on that! Anyone want to trade for a vintage Schrade USA 125OT, Endura 4, or Manix 2 LW haha? :p
Does anyone else think that like 90% of Spydercos should be made with a wire clip and come with the high and low clips? :spyder:
