How rare, or hard to find, are the Gray Calypso Jr's in VG-10?

Spyderdog - That's the one. Wish I had picked one up, but I was holding out for the Laminated ZDP-189 version.

The original 1200 piece Sprint Run sold so well that a second, and possibly a third batch were produced.

Ditto.

Since I'm not a collector of any sort, I gifted mine to one of my good friends. I graciously received it form a forum member who sent it to me after I lost my ZDP one. I then found my ZDP blade about two months later. So I passed it on.

I'd still take another if it came my way.

This was one of my first Spydies. Thought I was buying a black frn one and was rather disappointed when I got this instead. A nano-second later I realized I hit paydirt. It's been an all time favorite since.

Hmmmh, an easy task, let me look ..... Yep, I found one in my living room, ready for fondling with it's brothers and sisters in other handle materials or colors or blade steel :p

No kidding: watch ebay carefully, C52GY gray Calypso Jr.'s pop up at more or less regular intervals :)

Got my last one on Bladeforums"buy/sell" section.
Not my first Spyderco, but the reason I stayed with Spyderco, what a blade.
The Calypso Jr in VG10 is my favorite model. I have two(VG10 's). Also some in ZDP.
Good hunting.
