Original Calypso 4 inch blade with g10????

I'd never rule anything out, but I'd rate the chances of any midlock in unlined G-10 as extremely slim and the chances of Spyderco creating liners for the C54 only slightly better. That's not to say it won't happen, but in the mean time you might take a serious look at the Police 3. IMHO, if you like G-10, it's an improved version of the C54, at least in some ways.
 
The Deacon has it right (as usual). The current Police 3, is very similar to the classic C54 Calypso, slightly less belly, slightly straighter spine, slightly larger overall, and the handle shape is straighter. If you do a search for picture request c54 calypso, you'll be able to find some useful pics. Change the handle shape slightly and add a lanyard hole (present in the C54, missing in the current G10 Police3) and it pretty much would be a C54.5. Haven't carried my C54 in years, but should pull the trigger on the Police3 to see if it can compete with the ZDP Stretch2 for my "big knife" starting spot.

I do admit that nothing compares to the elegant curves of the original.
 
id like to see calypso....in bigger version!!! Police is an excellent knife but still not the same thing!
 
Of cause. Police3 is Police3, so cannot be the same thing as Calypso. I used to have it, both PE and SE. Traded or sold it. For me Caly3.5 is a better knife for few reasons. Still I can only wish that instead of peel-ply G10 Caly3.5 had micarta or polished G10.
