Samo,

I sure would like to collect all the variations of the "Q". I have a standard S/E and the new (to me) H&K S/E. I saw on e-bay a Flag "Q" that would be cool to own, especially now! I didn't see what it finally sold for... does anyone know?
My H&K "Q" I purchased from a tip from Sharp1 (thanks very much) at a great price, 55.00 NIB
The "R" is a bitchen knife too, I got one in P/E. I guess any Spydie's a great knife <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

The C48 Tim Wegner; used one for my big EDC for about 2 years now.

I read something about a 'new' version with something inset into the handles the other day.

Has it completely been dropped or is there a new version coming out or was I just sitting up too late playing on the computer????

Thanks Sam! Just did a quick search of the forum for the Lynx. That looks very cool, kind of in between the size of the C48 and the C49, right? That could be nearly perfect for EDC.

Guess that I will need budget for one or two of those now too.

Sigh... I wish that I was going to the SHOT show this year!!!!!

It's not the Lynx, it's the Ocelot!

I'm looking forward to the release of this knife.

The Calypso Jr. I just got one in for use as a PE knife that wouldn't be as intimidating to people I was working around. I'd prefer a deeper choil if it's gonna have one, but it's a great little knife. I guess the Native is supposed to take over the Calypso's role as an ergonomic mid-sized knife.

Actually, I think the Salsa will be replacing the Calypso Jr. as the medium-sized ergo knife. Sure, the Salsa is a bit more expensive, but I think the additional cost is worth it.
