Sal: It's all good
I actually put the knife away as soon as you made the request to send it in, but I had been using it a few days by then. I think I put a note in the box saying that part of the belly isn't as sharp as it used to be, but the first .5" of the tip will still shave a hair in 2 lengthwise (I tried it before I boxed it up). It'll be interesting to see what the edge looks like!
BTW, I managed to shave a hair in 2 lengthwise with another Calypso Jr. micarta version I just bought, using the factory edge right out of the box. It doesn't do it as easily, but it does work. Simply amazing that a production knife can have an edge like that out of the box.

So when are we going to see the Calypso Jr Lite? Is QC done with them yet? I'm trying to be patient really I am.
