Caly 4

hank_rearden · Aug 16, 2012

does anyone have a sample of this model? how does it compare with the smaller caly's and the police 3? i saw a side-by-side shot of this with the police 3 and it looks like a utilitarian version of the latter: the police with a long clip, the caly 4 with a long leaf. the police with an epee-like handle, the caly 4 with a slightly dolphined handle.

is it still being made?

There's a Caly 4?

Are you talking about the original Calypso?

yep, sorry for the confusion. i meant it had a 4-inch blade (or 4 1/2?)

I have no idea what are you talking about, but I want one.

There's been some talk of a C54 Calypso Sprint, but it probably hasn't gotten past the talking stage. Here's a shot of the original C54 and other members of the Calypso family...

Actually, long time ago, discussing possible variants of Caly3, Sal made a comment there were talks about Caly4, supposed to be smaller than Caly3

There is a smaller Caly4 also designed, waiting for market reaction to the Caly3.

Unfortunately it is never was produced. I still want one.

What is up with your carbon fiber? Is that the picture only, or is your modified?

I suppose you'd say it's just the photo. How CF looks in a photograph depends to some extent on the angle and the lighting.

You're missing the 3.5 CF! D:
