I dodn't know that they were making Caly's out of Super blue. What I know of it, is that it's very hard to get a hold of here in the US. That could mean that it might take a little while.

As far as i know, its still just an idea floating around. I wouldn't expect it any time soon.

I had the impression from Sal's posts at BF that the 3.5 with Super Blue was a definite, but timing was a question mark.

I'm excited, but I hope we get a nice G-10 instead of CF.

*edit* Okay, maybe layered two color Micarta or something. :D

I'm very excited about a Caly 3.5 in Super Blue. My preference is for Micarta. G-10 or CF is fine. I buy 'em, you betcha.

I imagine Super Blue folder will sell like hot cakes. I'd take one for sure.

I'd imagine it will get here when it gets here if it even makes it off the ground. Lets hope its sooner, like by Q3 this year.

I'll take one for sure too, but dunno about hot cakes? I wonder if the non-stainless blade will be an issue for most people. I am always surprised at how many people won't buy fixed blades that aren't stainless.

Okay, my vote is for something like this G-10, which is black and blue. I personally think green would look better, but since it's super blue, we could do blue.

I wash my EDC blades a lot since I often cut food. I'll have to wait and see what the feedback is on this.

I have no problems with a carbon steel blade. I am a prairie dweller, but lots of other people seem to do just fine with carbon steel too.

Ideally, I would like some Denim Micarta, so that the knife camouflages in with my work pants. Any kind of subdued, grayish blue would be fine though. Or just a dark blue.

I too, have used 5160 a lot and some 1095. No problems for me there. I wonder how the superblue compares to those in how fast it rusts. It can't possibly rust faster than those, can it?

Steel is fine, silver or white CF for me, like the one on the SpyKer.

I love peel ply CF, most grippy of all materials I know of.

I am not sure if I want to buy any folder in carbon steel, but certainly would love to see Caly3.5 or Caly3 with bolsters and Cocobolo.

You're probably right, a Caly 3.5 w/ super blue is an aficionado's knife, not a normal person's knife. And I hope Spyderco uses that fact to their advantage -- maybe hardening the steel a bit harder than usual, thinning the edge a bit thinner than usual, or whatever other wizardry they have up their sleeve, and just documenting the advantages/limitations for the aficionados.
