The brown truck gods just brought a package to me today . . . a Calypso Jr. (Zytel)!! This is my third Spyderco; my other two are the older Zytel Delica and Endura. Here's my thoughts & questions:
Likes:
- great steel (VG-10)and flat grind.
- very elegant lines.
- no blade play, very solid, clever depression on lock.
- funky bi-directional fish scale pattern is nice.
- SCARY sharp! Best edge I have felt on an out-of-the-box production knife!
Minor dislikes/not sure yet:
- the hole. Is smaller than my old Delica, and does not "feel" quite as easy to engage.
- NO BI-DIRECTIONAL CARRY! AAARRRGGGHHH!
- the finger choil/ridge . . . feels funny. Again, I'm used to the Delica, and want to put my finger right where the ridge is. How does everyone hold theirs? Is your forefinger in front of the ridge, or behind it?
Still, this is my favorite so far.
Lovin' it! Way to go, Sal & crew!
