Both are among my favorites.

- For general urban exploits I prefer the Caly 3

- For the general outdoors, I prefer the Caly 3.5

I do like the CF of the Caly 3 and hope for a CF/ZDP sprint run of the 3.5 (even better if the CF were the textured woven twill variety).

Neither...I much prefer the original Caly 3 with VG-10 and G-10. I think the 3.5 is a case of something that wasn't broke and didn't need fixing. The original Caly 3 is as close to perfection as an EDC (at least for me) as I've ever owned. Not to mention the 3 is legal in CA and the 3.5 isn't...

I'm just the opposite. I resisted buying the Caly 3 because I felt it was too short. To me, the 3.5 is perfection.

By the way, California state law (the California Penal Code) does not expressly limit blade length to 3 inches, but many, but not all, counties and cities in Caliifornia have local ordinances that do limit blade length to 3 inches.
