That's why I have multiples of both
Same as you, multiples of both. 2 Caly's 3.5 VG 10 and the other a Super blue. 4 Stretch's 3 ZDP 1 VG 10

In hand CF/ZDP Stretch, in pocket Caly 3.5 CF/ZDP. The Caly carries a lot better and looks more classy. The Stretch handle is better for hard cutting and on mine the blade was ground thicker then on my Caly 3.5. I've thinned and convexed the Stretch and it cuts a lot better with no chips yet.
Since the 3.5 is easier to find in CF I'd go with that one.

I obviously am in the minority, but for me I do not like the looks of the Caly 3 or 3.5.
I know it is a great knife from all the feed back, but I can't see how it would beat my Stretch! The Stretch is just the perfect knife size wise and fits the hand just perfectly!
I would go with the Stretch, but if you have the funds get both! I don't have a Spyderco that I don't like!

The Stretch and Caly 3.5 are two of my favorite Spyderco models (along with the PM2). Can't go wrong with either one, why not buy both and put the one you don't want up on the boards for sale?
