Hey AlwaysTomboy, Welcome to Blade forums! Still pretty new here myself but it's a great place for learning about these wonderful knives! That's a great lookin set you have there, as far as getting another I'm gonna have to say.... Go for it!

Thank you for the welcome. Most of my friends and family don't get the appeal of collecting knives at all, so it's nice to be around folks who do.

I really like the entire Calypso line, but I have a special fondness for the Jr for no reason other than it was my first and it fits nicely in my hand.

My very first real deal pocket knife was a caly 3 zdp-189! I had never heard of spyderco but I knew when I saw it I needed to have it. I still do, it still gets lots of carry time, mostly by the wife!

The one that started the addiction/obsession.

For me, it was the gray Calypso Jr that was my first Spyderco and my first knife other than a Swiss Army Knife. I have no idea where I saw it, but like you, as soon as I saw it, I wanted it, and I've been collecting Spydercos since.

Nice collection..didn't realize that they made so many different Lum Chinese folders. That green serrated is the first time I've seen it..

Yeah they keep bringing it back for sprints and exclusives, though I think the Nishijin was regular production for a bit. They're arranged in order of release.

This thread makes me want a pm2 or 3..

I still can't figure out which caly 3 is missing from the group shot on page 1.

He's missing a G10 handled VG-10 plain edge model. Just the standard plain edge Caly 3.

Thanks, I love the caly 3 and I wouldn't mind having all variations one day.

Yes. There is a PE Caly 3.5 in the picture but not a PE G10 Caly 3.

Wow... Thanks for adding all the new pictures people!

Cursum, I like the clips on the top 3 para 2s, especially that brown one! Where did you find it?

Also, the mailman showed up with a nice surprise this morning...

The long awaited Super Blue Streeeeeeeetch! Just a few more to go!

Congrats on the SB Stretch!

The top 2 are standard Spyderco silver clips that I discolored with some heat. Also did the same with the other hardware on the Cuscadi wood/S35VN.

This one's a machined ti clip from RGT, anodized bronze. Matches the wood quite well

Knifeoholic · Jun 7, 2016

Right on, thanks for the info Cursum! I was looking at the new Advocate last night thinking it would look pretty slick with a clip that was discoloured a little, can't wait until they're out. :thumbup:
