Gray Calypso Jr. or Centofante III
Gray Calypso Jr. or Centofante III
I'm thinking about a Gray Calypso Jr. or Centofante III as my next purchase. Right now I'm leaning toward the Centofante, but a Gray Calypso Jr. would go with my Gray Goddard nicely.
What would you do?

Calypso Jr. hands down, great midsize knife, it's thin, light, comfortable in the hand, and a superb slicer. Can't honestly think of one good thing to say about the Centofante III other than that the bug in the handle looks neat, shame it's on the wrong side.

Centofante, hands down.
Best over all blade shape, great handle. Strong lock 2.

I sold my Centofante III because i didn't liked the blade. It's a very thin blade wich lacks IMHO a little beefieness. It's a great slicer, good lock, but too civilised in my opinion. This is an office knife that goes with your suit to cut your apples during lunch with without everyone running screaming out the door. Because i don't cut fruit with my Spyderco's i like the "civilian" more then the civilised. :D
Well, you guys are no help at all. I fear that I will have to buy several more :spyder: s ...
Centofante III FRN is nice, but I wanted to limit choices...
I ordered the caly.. why? because it's a limited run, and I can always get a native or Cento later since they are mainstays....
This is MUCH MUCH MUCH different than the presidental election. Here we have 2 or 3 wonderful candidates..any choice is a good one! ... but for the leadership of our country, our choices are less than stellar this time around :o
