Where is my LW Caly 3.5 !?

[elena86]

Yes, where ...

[VooDooChild]

In a superposition of a quantum state. Its not until somebody measures it that we collapse the wave function and can determine its state of existence.

[DrawBackwards]

Yup, in a box with Schrödinger's cat for sure...

Lets hope we see it next month in Reveal 5 :D

[Baron Mind]

I want this knife

[ugaarguy]

It's in the same stockroom as my Sage 5 with Ti integral comp lock and Vanax blade :p

[SG89]

It's wherever the Slysz Swayback is being held hostage lol

[TkoK83Spy]

Do we have any idea what steel it's going to have?

My guess is CTS XHP... just based on the Taichung production that Sal has alluded to.

[SG89]

Taichung production would be great since the goal of the Caly 3.5 Lightweight is to update a slightly older knife for today's market.

Has there been any indication that they're going to re-do the FRN molds? I'd love an updated Caly 3.5 with the modern bi-directional frn pattern. I'd also be happy with Seki-made, and VG-10.

I think I remember it being talked about that it would not have the fish scale texture of the Calypso Junior Lightweight and that it would have bi-directional texture. The Caly 3.5 is Moki made so making the Caly 3.5 Lightweight in a different factory seems huge if true. Making it in Seki would be fine with me, but Taichung would be cool also. As long as it keeps the wire clip i dont care where it's made.

What else is Maki-made? I always forget there are two Japanese makers.

Quoting Sal from this thread viewtopic.php?f=2&t=85387

I think the Caly 3.5 was one of my better designs and doesn't need a lot of design improvement, in my opinion. Much of limitations are the result of the maker so exotic steels not made in Japan, screw construction and higher numbers are what prompted us to move the FRN to Taichung. This would permit any steel, any color and disassembly, but our makers are near capacity in all areas so we have schedules to create and keep. I don't see the Caly 3.5 FRN coming our before next year. we've yet to receive a prototype. We'll continue to make the current models in Seki. Thanx for your continued interest in this model.

Most recently: the Caly 3.5 zdp189 regular production model, Caly 3 hap40 sprint, Calypso junior lightweight super blue sprint, baby horn sprint

Anything but super blue! That's like cutting with a plastic knife from takeout food.
