If anybody has used it for a while now and would like to report on how it's been holding up and problems or praise on it, that would be great!

Can somebody review the Spyderco Caly 3 CF in ZDP-189 please?

It's the best knife ever? Is that good enough?
I've carried mine since the release back in spring 2007. The only knife I've carried more is the Fallkniven U2, which just sits loose in pocket. There are better little big knives, if you want something that will be comfortable during hard cutting over extended periods of time the Poliwog is fantastic. For a small (just under 3") EDC I can't think of anything better. The clip is barely noticable and rides very low in the pocket. The ZDP-189 CF Caly 3 is the way to go BTW. ZDP-189 really does hold an edge for a very long time. The CF scales are very classy, and the handle shape feels very natural.
I can't recommend this knife enough.

Hello,
My video review is number 70 in my review list.
I like mine a lot. I am a light user but even so the quality is evident.

I haven't used mine once in the two years I've had it, but I can very highly reccommend it.

I really like mine. Very high quality fit and finish, and the flat ground blade with very thin edge cuts very well. Great ergonomics. And the ZDP holds an edge quite nicely.

Don't own the Caly, do have a knife in that steel. Speaking for the steel, buy it. There's not much else to say.

agree with mitchschrader good alloy. as with any of the upper tough steels a little periodic touchup will keep sharpening effort to a minimum.

I agree with Joshua J. Best pocket clip folder ever. Some people complain that the 420J2 outer layer scratches to easily. It doesn't bother me, I use it. Some people complain the carbon fiber is too smooth. I love the smoothness and the shape is so perfect it's a non-issue. I got mine from a certain Shoppe that sells Cutlery for $107. It's the best deal on a knife I've ever gotten.
