Well, it happened to me too. Looking online, had a few beers and now I'm the owner of a G10 Endura and some diamond rods for my Sharpmaker. Oh well....I guess that's how collections get started

It arrived.
It's a pretty nice little knife.
The ZPD blade had a very small chip in it. Not bad enough to worry about, but kind of disappointing for a high end Spyderco.
Ive never had a ZPD blade before and this was part of the reason for the purchase of this knife. Hopefully this is a Spyderco/Seki-city problem and not a Hitachi ZPD-189 problem.

CF Caly 3 update: I've had this knife for about 2 weeks now. It was pretty sharp when I got it, but I've been spending a good bit of time with it on my ultra fine rods on the sharpmaker. I just to see how sharp I could get it, and oh my good this thing is a weapon. The lightest touch on the blade slices my finger. This gentlemens folder will cut your face off!
I just have to say that I got a small sebebza 21 a few days ago. I thought I would love it, especially more than this CF Caly 3. But it seems that I can't get the sebenza as sharp as my Caly3. Putting the two next to each other, I don't know, I think I like my Caly3 better
. I might actually end up selling this Sebenza because even with it, I can't find a reason NOT to carry the caly3.

I now cannot resist the urge of the Caly 3 ZDP and am looking to trade for it. All of this talk of is has me remembering how great the Caly 3 G-10, was, and add ZDP to the mix and I am really itching to trade some steel for one. Luckily I haven't been drinking and just plain bought one, as my wife will beat me if I buy another knife after my 4 week buying binge. If anyone really hates theirs I'd be glad to take it off your hands!

you should definitely scratch that itch and grab one of these. i may actually get another, but not another CF since this one is too pretty. i'de rather use it for nicer occasions or when i know for sure that i won't be abusing it in any way. this is a great knife, probably the sharpest that i own with the para military close behind it.
I have been flirting with the Caly 3 CF ZDP for a while now, and for a long time I had resisted it's siren call.
Then about 2 weeks ago I was drinking whiskey looking at knives online.
*snip*
This must be a common occurance! While drinking whiskey and surfing a few months back I ended up grabbing this:
This ZDP is pretty amazing stuff although I'm not looking forward to trying to sharpen it!
I got it from Warriors and Wonders in vancouver, BC.
