I'd agree or it could be the CX03 Experimental 3 the main difference is the markings on the box it came in.

I've always been a huge Spyderco fan.. I bought my first Delica probably 12-14 years ago, and have bought about ten since then. I love the functionality of these blades, and the fact that I can carry it clipped to my pocket and never even know it's there. I still have 4 or 5 of them scattered about in various places so a good blade is never too far out of reach.

The Native SS I bought off ebay last year as I liked the look of it, I haven't carried it much yet. The one in this post (the Calypso Jr?) has been my EDC now for years, I don't even remember when I bought it exactly. It's been all over the world with me and never let me down... its just that I bought it so long ago that I forget the model name(and I've not seen another like it). I'm not sure, but I think I bought it at Le Baron in Toronto in about '96 ?
