I was under the impression that the C-3 was bigger than the CJ but now I am not sure. Is the C3 bigger than the CJ and if it is, how much bigger? If it is the same size, what is the point?
 
The C52 Calypso Jr. and C113 Caly 3 have nearly the same size (lenght overall 170/178 mm, blade lenght 73/76mm).

C52 uses handles like steel/micarta/frn and C113 uses G-10 only. All blades are full flat (exeption: C52 with steel handles = hollow grind).

So besides the small difference in size, IMO the handle material is the difference and brings the C113 up to date.

Hope my short thoughts will help you :)
 
Yep that helps. I don't know why I thought the C3 was larger. It just looks bigger I guess. Oh, well. I wish Spyderco would make a larger Caylpso with G-10, that would make the ultimate EDC. Just think about how many people would buy a Caylpso 4 if it was about the size of a R-2!
