While I dearly love my Harpy and for some of the box tasks; it is perfect (pull-cutting the side tape without slicing into the contents), I have to go with the Calypso Jr in any of its incarnations(my fav is the micarta). The handle size gives good grip and the flatground blade cannot be beat for long runs thru designed-tuff material. The blade is both pointed and wide, giving good starting penetration and then easily maintained courses butt not tooo wide so that you can follow flowing cut lines. The length gives enough surface to saw with if necessary butt doesn't over-penetrate to puncture delicate contents.

I do tend to wax on about the late great Calypso Jr. I don't see another offering by Spyderco that fills this niche.

Oh yeah.... The Calypso is way over 3.5 inches. (butt it has its great points too)

I think only basic members can vote.

 

[VampyreWolf]

basic members CANNOT vote, due to Spark's work... he have to pay for the piviledge

VW: sorry I was a bit high from naproxen trying to knock out my migrane, I meant to say can't.....

 

[frank k]

Delica

 

[Michael_Aos]

Well that sucks!

I thought basic members just couldn't create new polls.

Can't vote? That's just not right!

Michael, i just checked out your link. how do you like the career 707? the review link didn't work. i have some BSA's, RWS and air arms. the TX-200 is SUPER accurate. at 120 ft i could put every shot through a target the size of a dime(orange dot targets using a 6 x 18 x 40, adjustable parallex scope). i would be REALLY interested in reading your review. i also went through a period of fascination with these guns. the high quality guns are amazing! although i still have a crossman and daisy, it is like comparing a Yugo to a Ferarri

This one always works for me like a charm:

Give me my native any day.

 

[SharpBits]

Since I can only vote for one I voted for the Native! But, if I could make up my own rules it would be:

1) Tie: Native/Delica
2) Cricket

Well they cant stop me from voting. I'll just post it and let y'all tally it later!

IMHO a box cutter should be small to aviod over penitration/dammage of goods...the opposite of a SD knife.

Something like a cricket etc. Or any thin small spydy edge.

Enjoy the "box cutting."

I live here in the Springs too. I have a serrated Jot Singh Kalsa I'd donate to your cause. Email me if it will do the job.
