Hi all,

I just purchased my first lockback, a Calypso Jr. I absolutely love it and just can't get over how nice the micarta versions must have been. I just have to find a Spyderco micarta lockback. Could anyone give me a list of what models were made with Micarta? I am mainly looking for one with a full, flat grind like the Calypso, but may decide on another. Did they make an Endura? Thanks in advance for you help.
 
Spyderco made a full-sized Calypso as well as the Calypso Jr.--both with micarta scales.
 
Just noticed that there are a few micarta Calypsos on eBay right now--a couple of Jrs. and a full-sized serrated.
 
A few more Micarta handled Lockbacks:

The Micarta handled Jess Horn II. It came in both black, white or burgundy Micarta. They are getting quite hard to find now.

The J.D. Smith came in black Micarta.

The burgundy Micarta Jester :D

Calypso
Calypso Jr.
Wayne Goddard
Goddard Jr.
Baby Goddard
Dyad
Dyad Jr (or Mini-Dyad?)
JD Smith
Jess Horn

That's all the ones I can think off on a moment's notice.

Good luck and happy hunting,
Allen.
 
My white Micarta Jess Horn is in my EDC rotation drawer. It's as slick as a custom made blade. This one is a full height flat grind.
 
The Persian has micarta scales. Probably not what you're looking for though.
 
I have a hunch that spyderco will not offer linerless micarta lockbacks again so get what's out there while you can. Current and future micarta lockbacks will be constructed like the Schempp Persian folder, with dual liners.
 
Thanks guys! I think I will start with the Calypso and the Horns. A white one would pretty much be utopia.
 
i wish they'd re-issue the 1st gen goddards. i guess i didn't help that cause since i bought an FRN one.
 
I have owned only one Micarta Spyderco. It was a SE JD Smith. Fantastic knife. It went in a trade with Gadi. Glade I got to trade with such a great guy, but still sometimes wish I had that blade. If it was PE I would never have traded it. I still would love to have a PE someday. The design of that knife is just phenominal.
 
Just scored a minty CE micarta Goddard with Spyderpouch. Dark green Japanese linen micarta scales. Anxiously awaiting delivery...

Yeee haw! :p

I know that they aren't lockback but still worth considering if you can get hold of them! ;)
