James Mattis · Sep 17, 1999

Well, I guess it's time to update my web page and get rid of that "coming soon" message.

Here's a high-resolution scan:

I like it!

Nice picture, great design, but it's awfully black. I was really hoping for that maroon color (for sales purposes I'd call it Burgundy). Navy blue woud be nice too. Black lasts better in sunlight, but I'm going to keep it in my pocket.

Sal, why not color?

Ahhhhhh..

Now let's see...my anniversary is coming up next.. hope there'll be some on the table at the Blade Show West, James!

I really like this knife! I hope that Spyderco makes a large lightweight fullsize Calypso also. What is the MSRP on the new Calypso Jr. lightweight?

Greg Melcer · Sep 17, 1999

Gotta love how that flat grind cuts! Now I'll just need to drill some more holes to mount the clip on the other end for tip-up carry, and I'll have a replacement for the Delica.

MSRP $67 (minus some pennies)

I like the original Calypso Jr. I like this one too. The two tone handle is neat, as is the slight cutout on the release. And, tip down works very well for me on this knife.

Of course more colors, other than black, would be nice. But I understand Spyderco's quandry about SKU's.

Jeff, Sing - might be colors in the future, have to watch demand & requests. Blue & Burgundy (maroon) would be early choices.

By the way, my experience is that plain edge C52 lightweights are what the customers want. Has anybody else seen a trend yet?

Lightweight is definetely the way to go.

James/Sal: how "lightweight" is this knife?
Love the featherweight of my Delica!!

Can't find any information regarding weight posted on the Spydie website.

Thanks in advance.

I like it, and I will own one as soon as they arrive at my dealer. Fine looking, and just what I need for around the city.
