Sprint Run Full Size Calypso W/FRN Scales

I would definitely go for a full size Calypso with ironwood scales, bolsters, etc.
 
I would love a plain edge, g10 handle (with or without bolster) with zdp-189 steel, with bodycoat's diamond dlc on all metal parts, so it stays scratch free.

I would also like the same for the calypso jr.

As much as I love my calypso jr ltwt, I would really like a high end model.

I also love my micarta handled calypso with serrated edge, but the micarta scratches too easy.
 
I probably wouldnt be able to afford a high end, and whenever i think of the persian I think: its nice but when would i carry it, its too big for a dress knife, and too heavy for edc, plus not quite a functional as G10.

It would be cool though. How about a burgandy micarta Calypso in ZDP to match the burgandy FRN caly jr in ZDP. Wouldnt that be something. I like to cary a larger knife and a smaller FRN knife (i am a lefty, so at the top of my right pocket, i never notice them until i need em).

Oh yeah, sorry for the bump, if the interest here has been exhausted...so be it, but I think it just sort of puttered out and there might still be something here. Some of you guys seemed pretty excited.
 
This is my first post... I was thinking about getting an Endura. However, I would prefer a Calypso if it could be set up for tip up carry. I'd prefer a cheaper handle material as I'd want to EDC the knife.
 
As long as we're all wishing for something here are my Spyderco wishes, in increasing order of desire:
  1. Fullsize fancy Calypso with bolsters
  2. Fullsize Calypso, Micarta or G10 (G10 preferred), VG-10 (or ZDP-189 if the sprint run Calypso Jr lives up to the hype)
  3. Fullsize Calypso, Plain edge, Carbon Fiber, VG-10 or ZDP-189
  4. Calypso Jr, Plain edge, Carbon Fiber, VG-10 or ZDP-189
  5. Dragonfly, Plain edge, Carbon Fiber, VG-10 or ZDP-189
Just making the last one on the list would make me happy for a long time.

Uh, well, um ... YES, YES, YES.

Natural scales: wood, bone,(gulp) stag

Polished VG-10 like on the Anniversary Delica would be fine with me

Mokume or damascus bolsters. :eek: :)
 
I have the full size Calypso/SE. I don't use the knife because I don't have much trust in the thin Micarta handle (is this justified?) Í'm afraid the knife will develop blade play soon with such a rather big blade in the thin handle(or am I wrong?)

I would really like to see the knife with G10 handle and adjustable pivot.

I would LOVE a higher-end full sized calypso.

A nice matt-finished nickel silver bolster (maybe, if not too heavy), and a textured/carved micarta or g10 handle (or a REAL exotic bone/horn handle)-NOT a fake handle like on B*nchm*des App*rition.
And with Bodycote's Diamond DLC coated everthing, blade, clip, basically any metal on the knife,including the lock, to protect it from rust & abrasions.

I HATE it when my knives show wear.
I don't want to just look at my knives, I want to be able to use them, set them down, use them some more & it NOT show scratches, scuffs or FINGERPRINTS & smudges like you get with polished finishes.
 
I 2nd 3rd and 4th the titanium handles :)

maybe stamped/machined with the same fishscale design as the current caly jr!
