Calypso Jr. and Standard

#1

Post by Episteme »

Hi all. I have a quick inquiry. I own two Caly Jr.'s (a burgundy ZDP, and a grey VG-10) and also a few Standards (C05, I believe). My question is, 'Are the hole diameters of these two models the exact same? I can see that the Caly Jr. and Standard models have holes that are slightly smaller than the Harpy, Delica, Endura, Native, etc. But are the Caly Jr. and Standard hole diameters THE SAME?
Also, what were the reason for smaller holes in these models? I can see why the ladybug, dragonfly, co-pilot and crickets would have smaller holes. But the Caly Jr. and Standard models are the same sizes as the delica, harpy, and native. Just curious.

They are probably both 11mm. As for why, one reason may be that they have narrower blades than the Delica.
