Product Description
Spiders has several knife designs that remain steadfast year after year. � What keeps people buying them over decades is their basic function but also that they're upgraded or refreshed with new technology and materials when they become available.� A prolific design in Spyderco's line is the Calypso. Its arrival over a decade ago as a mid-sized folder has spawned numerous variations and converted legions of knife buyers to the benefits of flat-ground, thick leaf-shaped blades. � This is a workingman's or woman's folder founded on the premise that a comfortable, usable pocketknife is one that feels like a natural extension of your hand. A larger, newer Bionic version of the original Calypso Jr. is the Caly3.5. � The latest Calypso progeny has a three and a half inch VG-10 leaf-shaped blade that is thick at the tang, then tapering to a tip.� The cutting edge is flat-ground and thin for precision and receptive cutting. Ergonomics and control were taken into the designs' consideration and where handle and blade meet is a substantial finger coil.� This is the spot where the index finger settles ergonomically leading the thumb to naturally position itself directly above on the blade's spine. � Also the spine is textured with slip resistant jumping making the knife feels like part of the hand with no sliding forward or backward while cutting.� The black G-10 handle has a mid-positioned back lock and a low profile wire clip, holding the folder deeply in a pocket facing tip-up.Spyderco Caly 3.5 Carbon Fiber ZDP-189 Plain Edge Knife Review
When folded up and in the pocket, this knife is literally the same size as the Spyderco Delica. Both knives are a good size for carry.However; when opened up, this knife is 0,625" longer. At 3.5" it's almost as long as a Spyderco Endura, which is really too big for pocket carry. It's the best of both worlds. You get a bigger blade in the same size package.
Up to now, the Delica has always been my favorite carry knife. But the Caly 3.5 is even better. The ZDP-189 blade stays sharp, and you can safely choke up your grip using the nicely jimped choil.
I never considered the Delica as nice looking, but the Caly 3.5 is really a beautiful knife. I expect to get many years of great use from it.
