Just got few days ago my X-mas purchases: Caly III, Mini-Manix, Yojimbo folder. The three of them are all flawlwss with regards to fit and finish.
The Caly II is arguably the most handsome production pocket knife I hever had in my pockets. Ergos fit and finish are top (shame the yellow clip but who cares...). While I'm sure that it's plenty for regular everyday use, I wonder if its lock compares to the one of the delica 3 in terms of strength. I only wonder because the lock recess in the tang of the caly seems shallower than the one of the delica I own. Then again the recess of the caly is longer and the round scallop in it deeper, so probably my question is totally pointless.......
Mini-Manix: I feel that the word mini associated with this knife is a bit of a joke. While it took me a life time to decide over the purchase of this one, I 've fell in love with it at first sight when I've opened the box. Now I really wish my job could justify the purchase and carry of a full size manix.
The Yojimbo is quite a breed apart, being a fairly specialized tool. Love the handle and its feeling and the weight/size ratio, the much discussed compression lock seems to be perfectly OK, the tip on this thing is scary, It will sure find its way into my pockets / waistband in the evening /night (taking the garbage out, occasional walk to the pharmacy late night / going jogging / walking late).
Now the next purchase (birthday is coming up in 3 months) shall be the street beat (and may be the manix) this should quench my knife thirst for a while.
