Yes, unfortunately both of the Micarta Calypso's have been discontinued. There are however, still some around. My local shop has a couple and on the net I've seen them listed a few places. They are simply gorgeous knives. I'm very glad that I got mine.

Have you-all noticed the thread on the general forum about discontinued knives? The large Calypso was mentioned quite a number of times.
While I realize that the # of people posting that, or many others such notions is actually a very small number, not enough to make a large manufacturer blink, it sure is interesting that so soon after a discontinuation -- which I wonder how many people voted for -- that so many are lamenting its passing. I could have gotten one here recently, but would have had to forego another knife I've wanted for 2 years or more, so didn't do it. I sure hope I can find a good second hand one, or a dealer who's got a couple at a decent price.

Alan2112,
You're gonna flip when you get your Jr. in Micarta. One of the nicest Spydercos ever made IMO. The day I bought mine I was at the shop not really knowing what the heck I wanted, but as soon as I picked up the Micarta Calypso Jr. I was like - "This is the one." It has pretty much been my EDC for a year and a half or so, but I'm thinking about cleaning, polishing and retiring it before it gets totally "used looking." I guess I'll have to get a VG-10 Zytel model since I think the size, grind and blade shape are pretty much perfect for most daily chores. Enjoy!
