Caly 3.5 Damascus

[ForealBoreal]

I am hoping that somewhere in the next year or two here that spyderco could make a 3.5 in Damascus vg-10. I would love to have that or a caly 3 with Damascus with a simple g10 handle.

I liked the delica Damascus but I wasn't too fond of the bone handles.

What does everyone think?

I love idea about Damascus Caly3/Caly3.5, but IMHO G10 is far away from being a good match, even polished one. Bone, not necessary jigged or nice wood would be great.

Wood or Ti. I don't find bolstered jigged bone aesthetic.. Which has kept me from buying a Damascus delica. I dont even like bolstering at all really.

In the "Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread," there is mention that a damascus Caly 3 is in-the-works. It will probably sport jigged bone handles and titanium bolsters - like the damascus Delica models.

I can't wait to nab one. :)

I don't like the bone either. It's a shame because I love the look of damascus. At least I have my Mule!

Man a g10 damascus caly would be great. Not many people combine these two as they are somewhat opposite ends of the knife spectrum, one for safe queens and one for users. I hope this happens!

:spyder: :spyder:
A Damascus Caly 3, with Ti handles, preferably Flamed Ti sculpted handles, would be the "BOMB!" This may be a little unrealistic :rolleyes: , so I would settle for Ti bolsters, and would love to see that with
"LIGHTNING STRIKE" carbon fiber "DOUBLE BOMB" :D
Anybody else with Me on this?

Just My 2 cents,

i could totally handle the peel ply CF with damascus.

[ForealBoreal]

heck I would be stoked with a damascus superhawk, superleaf, p'kal, or civilian.
I would buy one of each for god sakes.

I don't like bone or stag handles, but if it came in wood, g-10, CF or micarta, that would be great!

Yep!! I agree 100% Well put haha!

[ForealBoreal]

I'm leaning towards the simplistic cf or g10.
I love the black simple look of the Damascus Swiss army knives that came out.
Very minimalistic and plain.

I'm in for G-10. Always liked the simple look of a Sebenza 21 in damascus steel without any of the unique graphics etc.

Great idea.

I really dont see the apeal of the Vg10 "Damascus". I put the damascus in quotes, because I hesitate to call it that. Now if they were to do ACTUAL damascus, Id buy 10, but no thank you on that laminated ish. Id rather have just the vg10 than the "Faux-mascus."

I might be in the minority here, but anyone who loves the real stuff as much as I do, will probably pass on this stuff. I see similar laminated knives sold for $30 by Boker(plus, ugh), I just think spyderco can do better.

[Dferg10]

Jigged bone models are heavy and usually have no clip. CF and Damascus would be awesome. I would buy 2!

[ForealBoreal]

i'm in for peel ply cf and damascus!

[Jay_Ev]

I'll be satisfied and content with whatever Spyderco decides to do.

[Slash]

Damascus bolsters w/lighting strike cf.

[syphen]

Sounds like fair demand for any Damascus that is not strapped into jigged bone!

[JacksonKnives]

Stag/Jigged bone really 'matches' the pattern-welding of a nice damascus steel, IMO, but FWIW I'm not a huge fan of either material in the designs that Spyderco makes. The Delicas were tasteful, but not my cup of tea. Just seems too much like an attempt to be decorative.
Sadly, nice hardwood is just that much harder to use on the scale of a sprint run. (Let alone a full run)
I guess I'm more forgiving of 'fancy' hardwood scales because it's what I've always worked with. If I made and collected slip-joint knives I'd probably be more forgiving of jigged bone.
