Caly3 with combo edge (?)

I have been researching and reading about different Spyderco knives (always been attracted to the designs) and have narrowed down my search to the caly3 or UKPN - however, because I would like a combo edge, I would like to know if there are any recommendations for a similarly styled knife (leafish shaped blade) with the combo edge.

Regards
 
If I recall correctly, the Native comes in a "combination edge", however the serrations take up about 75% of the edge as where most other CEs only go about half way.
 
I am not sure what all the excitement about comboedge is about, but I can't think of any leaf-shaped spydies that come with comboedge. The Tenacious is close... but it is also bigger than the Caly3.

Not sure it's an issue of excitement for me, when sailing I find a serrated edge more helpful in getting a quicker grip on some of the sheets.

I have been using a SOG up to this point.

The tenacious is nice, but maybe too big and not quite as "spyderco leafy" as the Caly3. It may however, be the closest in comboedge - thanks for the recommendations.

Ah, I get it now. I did just remember one knife that is leaf-shaped and has CE -- the Manix and Mini-Manix. But they are fairly beefy. I have always felt that CE spoils the rest of the blade but none of my applications require serrations in the first place.
