It's that time again/Springtime EDC

[Dr. Snubnose]

Hey Doc S, I'm new here, I didn't realize the weaponry was part of your work clothes! I retract my Porsche remark.

So, do you ever train civilians? We can build on my 23 year old TKD greenbelt! :p



Doc S------------------>

No problem Darkfin...and Yes I do train Civilians, in 5 Animal Shaolin Kung Fu. Tai Chi Chuan, Filipino Stick and Dagger Fighting....Doc :D

Outstanding story Doc.

After not being able to carry during my hospital stay it was nice to start EDC
again. Today is my new Blue Yojimbo (given to me by a fellow forum member
during some very low time, thank you again.) and a Gunting Lapu Lapu Corto
(working on a review for it).
Thanks to Doc for teaching me to appreciate the Yo thru all of his posts.

Stunning Knives Paul... Simply Stunning Doc :D

[Fred Sanford]

Holy cow!!!

Paul, that Calypso Jr with a custom handle is awesome. I actually think that it's a better handle than the factory designed. It looks like you could get all the grip on the handle without using a choil at all.

That knife is just pure awesome. Care to give a little history of it? Like what it's made of, what the liners are, who did it? I'm guessing STR did it. :)

As far as what I'm carrying for my "Springtime EDC"...

My new Navigator II is a work/office carry knife. It's with me daily. As soon as I get home I throw the Pacific Salt in my pocket and it is my "after hours" knife.

I've never carried a knife as large as the Pacific Salt but I figured what the hey. I'm not looking for trouble so hopefully I'll catch no grief about it anyway. :)

[DRod]

Im trying to keep it down to two or under. Usually Caly Jr, and Endura 4. But the D'Alllara always seems to find a pocket.
Caly in FRP
E4 in BLP
D'Allara clipless in change/watch pocket or carpenter pocket. (Fits quite well and nearly disappears.)

Deacon, didn't I just see that custom Caly somewhere up for sale? Or was that a different one, I swear Ive seen it before somewhere else. Looks gorgeous.

one thing I've noticed about my, spring carry habits is that I can they carry lighter knives like they aluminum walker,c25 can never spell the guy's name, And a few others all all light gentlemanly knives. I have also added to the Springs wardrobe a small Japanese folder that comes with a handsewn belt pouch in California Spring and heavier models just don't feel as comfortable as they do in shorts as they do in jeans in California Spring. Also from a tactical standpoint there's less heavy clothing to get through to reach that sub clavicle artery :p

Thanks David. The grip is excellent, but just like the original, I can only get three fingers on it if I grip it behind the choil. While some of the die-hard Calypso Jr fans may not appreciate the change in shape, I thought it was an interesting change of pace when I saw it up for sale on KnifeForums two months ago. (That may be where you remember it from, Daryn. :D )

This one's not STR's work. It was customized by another talented forumite, Dannyvi. The liners are titanium, and am guessing the back spacer/spring carrier is titanium as well. Scales are a combination of matte carbon fiber and ivory micarta. As unimpressed as I usually am by CF as a scale material, when used like this, to create a bolster effect, it is rather pleasant looking.

Hi Paul, awsome Caly, thanks for sharing the pics and for the background of this beautiful mod.

For my part, while in the morning I had my Adventura with me (big surprise ), later in the afternoon I went hiking together with my familly - and I had no Spyderco with me, but an ugly balisong :eek: And I blame Chucula and Scott and Cobrajoe and Tonydahose and al the rest who posted on the balisong thread for this. After reading, I couldn't stand the urge to take out my old butterfly, give it a few strokes and a flippin' we go...

[DRod]

Deacon, that Caly is the Jessica Rabbit of Calys. I want it. Do you take payment in black market kidneys? :)

[jaislandboy]

NICE one Paul! Great job by Dannyvi.....I hope the CF bolster enhances your slicing pleasure... :) I like the curve on that handle ...... mebbe that's why I like those Wegner-shaped handles like on the Ocelot.... :rolleyes:
Lovely piece.... :cool:
