Please make a cf calypso jr or the paramilitary in ZDP-189

I think the burgundy sounds neat. Is there a picture anywhere that someone can post or link of FRN in this color?
Someone mentioned previously they'd seen something like it on a prototype?
 
Here are the pictures I saved of the protos...

well, that's not as ugly as I thought, but I still don't really like it. but the black one is soooooo sweeeeet!
why not to make 2 runs of 600, one in black and one in burgundy?
 
still like the grey FRN best.

if the run has to be in burgundy, I think the beadblasted clip is a much better match than the black clip with the gold logo.

Forest Green is the nicest colour that can be on FRN knives, that's my taste too, but I think Black is more universal and will suit more people.
 
After a quick explanation of the exciting possibilities of ZDP-189 over on BB, I must have at least the Calypso Jr! $110 comes out at about £60 UK. I better get saving if I want 2 Calypso Jrs and a Delica... After the UK Penknives too, and talk of a new Lil' Temperance you really are spoiling us Sal! I'll send my bank manager your regards :D:D:D

But... if this is the Ferrari of blade steels (as said in Blade mag) I would think that the Military would be the knife to do.

I collect Delicas,but to me putting the steel in a Delica is like putting the Ferrari engine into a Neon. Now a g 10 Delica....

Just my 2 cents.

I triple agree the Militarty is the place for new "super steels" it makes it easy to compare it to cpm-s30v etc. :)
 
I think the color choice for the Calypso Jr is a great one. I do however think the clip needs to be the beadblasted one. How about beadblasted with a red bug? That would be nice.

I really like the Burgundy. I agree with VultureParade. It needs a clip like the one on the gray Calypso Jr.

Heck, you know I'm going to buy one no matter what the colour :D

Mind you I agree on the bead blasted clip, just too cool ;)
 
I will buy one regardless of the colour, but burgendy would not be my first choice. I love the blue Spyderco used with the blue Delica.

I understand. I just would have liked both of these runs to be blue.
 
I like the burgundy. I too would prefer the clip to be bead-blasted like my gray Caly. If the blade is black too, a black clip would be ok but then it would REALLY be a hard sell to John Q.
 
Just a note that the pics I posted were from years ago. They are not protos of this new run butt of the pre-lightweight issue. I tweaked the color a bit to tone down the red in the original picture as the new one is to be burgundy rather than the red in the original prototype picture. I hope the new burgundy is darker than the red on this prototype or it would look like a trainer.

I agree that the beadblasted clip as on the grey Calypso would be the best choice.
 
I just got on new graham's wait list for this baby, I can't wait.

I wish Spyderco would also make the full sized Calypso again, I just got a used one in trade with VG10 & micarta scales - only thing better would be if it was in ZDP-189 with a bead blasted stainless clip.

I know, I'm dreaming.
