:spyder: Knives are always disco'd due to tepid sales, caly jr. competed with the delica and the delica won. What color caly jr. do you have? :spyder:

From what I understand the grey FRN is the rarest of the Caly Jr's. I have a black SE that I really dig.

Congrats eastr,

That is one of my favorites. I think the bead blasted clip is extremely SWEET :D
I agree it is suprising this combination was discoed. The pic of mine looks kinda dark due to the bright Colorado sun hitting it.

IMHO... the bead blasted clip should be made the standard Spyderco clip! :cool:

I like the blade shape of the Calypso Jr. way better than the new Caly 3.

Congratulations on your new Calypso Jr. It was always a favorite of mine.

At some point I had 3 or 4 Grey Calypso Jr's. I wish I still had them. :D
