Carbon fiber calypso junior

[gary sims]

I was at the blade show talking with the main man himself and he told me that they are making a limited run of calypso juniors in carbon fiber! They had secured a manufacturer of the carbon fiber handles already! I can't wait for this one to come out!

I hope that they are better made than the CF Delicas.

Joyce said to watch out for some new CF.
Also talk of big changes around here.

There wasn't a single thing wrong with my CF Delica, or my CF Police either, for that matter.

Steve ... What is wrong with your Delica CF? I really like the ones I've got. Can you post a picture of yours?

Purely a matter of individual taste on the Carbon Fiber. The way that Spyderco (and Klotzli) finish their CF, it has a glassy sheen on the surface. It is a problem (IMO) because it shows scratches very easily (compared to a matte finish CF) and where it is drilled for screw, pivot and lanyard holes, there is often chipping on the brittle edge of the CF.

I have posted a number of times on this forum and others that Spyderco really should look into a matte or bead blasted finish on the CF.

[swede]

I agree, Stuart. My favorites are the old Spyderco Walkers with matte finish.

All this carbon fiber talk inspired me to do a little pitcher-takin' <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I also recall that Sal said the handles are going to be bead blasted!

Now that does sound gooooood!

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

What's wrong with the CF Delica?
I don't like the shiny carbon fibre as I find it looks a little "tacky" - as do the Phillips screws.
The CF is chipped around all the screw holes.
Finally, the steel insert tube of the lanyard hole protrudes on one side and is very rough.
The Delica is one of my favourite knives and a well-made CF version would have been pretty much perfect - unfortunately it was not to be.
Let's hope that the Calypso Jr, another of my favourite designs, gets the finish that it deserves.
I'll pay for it.
