Thanks for the comments fella's
I was sad to ship that knife back, I really like the way the handle extension gave some other options from holding the knife.

Beautiful!!!
I love it!! I just started carrying my first generation PE Calypso Jr. yesterday.
Does the G10 add some decent weight to the knife? I wish that mine was slightly heavier for ease in spyder dropping. And I love G10. I need some G10!!!!
Very nice Tricod!
God bless!

Well, we had a few requests for photos of the knife closed as well as for the closeup of the jimping (I have had some questions in PM) so I thought I would answer the call. I forgot to take any photos of the jimping before I shipped it out so please excuse the blurry edit and the poor photo.
Oh and I do the Jimping on a horizontal mill with two dremel cutoff wheels mounted with a spacer in between. It works pretty well. Although I think I have found a way to make the size of the jimping smaller which should make it a little gripper. Going to practice some today to see if it works :)
