Just wondering.......which Spyderco folder has the shortest ZDP-189 blade and is the smallest in overall size with ZDP?

Thanks
 
When closed the Jess Horn ZDP is shorter and narrower, but once opened the Delica ZDP is shorter overall.
The Jess Horn has a longer blade by a very small margin, but a shorter handle than the Delica.

I have both knives before me while writing this,
 
The Caly jr. is like a FRN caly 3. It has laminated ZDP blades, and a backlock and is still about $66-$68 while still available. The slicing abilities of this light, smooth, solid inexpensive knife is simply amazing. A poor mans Caly 3. It's like a muscle car engine stuffed into a compact car. It's like a black version of the original burgandy ZDP sprint which started it all and is still coveted by collectors. Joe
 
I agree w/Joe, the CalypsoJr. in Black / Burgundy is shortest lengthwise but the Jess Horn lightweight has a much thinner profile / longer blade.

I don't think the difference between laminated and solid ZDP is half as important as the knife shape. The blade profile on the Caly Jr makes it a way better slicer, though the Endura/Delica are sturdier, if you don't treat your knives gently, you should go with the Endura/Delica.
 
My CF Caly3 is the shortest ZDP Spyder. After some indiscretions in yard work, I had to regrind the tip at its new starting point.
