Re: Caly Jr. Sprint
Voted HAP40 and Other but only because I didn't see Superblue or that would have been my Other vote. Solid blades only please, not a fan of laminates. Fish scale FRN would be my preference just for nostalgia but what would put it over the top is G10 machined with the same pattern.
All SE all the time since 2017

You didnt actually see "Superblue" in the list or you don't see it's return as a possibility?Evil D wrote:Voted HAP40 and Other but only because I didn't see Superblue or that would have been my Other vote.

Re: Caly Jr. Sprint
Well, we voted and Spyderco listened. Super Blue won the poll and Super Blue is what we're getting. I think it's cool that Spyderco takes our suggestions seriously and then turns them into knives we get to own.
Re: Caly Jr. Sprint
I can't tell from the pictures,does it have jimping and adjustable pivot ?

Re: Caly Jr. Sprint
I can't tell either, but it doesn't appear to have jimping. The pivot could be adjustable because of CQI.elena86 wrote:I can't tell from the pictures,does it have jimping and adjustable pivot ?

Re: Caly Jr. Sprint
og caly jrs had pinned pivots and no jimping. new ones looks the same based on photos but there could be a screw on the back side of the pivot.elena86 wrote:I can't tell from the pictures,does it have jimping and adjustable pivot ?
no jimping and the more shallow finger choil are two of the things that set caly jr's apart from caly 3's.

Re: Caly Jr. Sprint
Yep...the swedge, fish scale FRN, tip down carry....and IIRC the caly 3 and 3.5 lacked the sharpening choil on the jr.xceptnl wrote:Don't forget that swedgeVivi wrote:og caly jrs had pinned pivots and no jimping. new ones looks the same based on photos but there could be a screw on the back side of the pivot.elena86 wrote:I can't tell from the pictures,does it have jimping and adjustable pivot ?

Re: Caly Jr. Sprint
Thanks Sal for making this happen!!!
To those asking about updates, CQI, etc..., I don't have any inside info, but would expect it to be identical to prior runs. Iirc, having no changes to the old tooling was pretty much a prerequisite for making this happen.
CHB, hopefully someone else would post a better answer, but I wouldn't say Super Blue has a lot in common with M4, maybe more like 52100 with some added wear resistance?

Re: Caly Jr. Sprint
Here is my summary on Super Blue. I don't think it has a ton of carbides, it sharpens very easily, it takes a very fine edge (unlike anything I've ever used), it stains like crazy (5 minutes with the wrong stuff on the blade and it will be stained), it seems to hold an edge well, but I don't use it for heavy use. I consider it pretty awesome for a Gent's knife. It is perfect on the Caly 3 and Caly 3.5 and should be awesome on a Caly Jr.
I wonder if it is going to be clad or not.
