I'm sure it's my D4 PE - I love it. It keeps booting my Caly 3s out of my pockets. Salt 1 and Pacific Salt are right up there. :D

- best wishes, Jazz.

I love my zdp caly3... The one thats under 3inches becuase it's I can legally carry it in LA county, it's a great cutter, light weight and still razor sharp after a decent amount of use.

But if I'm going into a semi dangerous situation or area I like my pe delica wave. IMO The wave on it is more reliable than the wave on some of the emersons I have and it's better steel, more compact and lighter weight.

I have 3 favorites, but if I absolutely had to pick one, it would be my BG-42 CF Military.

I guess my most sentimental Spydie would be a full sized Manix, the first Spyderco I ever owned and the one that got me hooked. Second would be the mini Persian, because it's so beautiful. Most allegiance to the Caly III; that's what gets carried the most.

Right now would be the stretch 2. It's a pure performance thing, not a sentimental issue. Joe

I love my Kopas,
I love my Caly3,

It is so bad, that this knife is discontinued, every time I use this knife I feel sorry for all people who will never be able to try it.
