Spyderco Calypso: Kin to Greatness by Nutnfancy

Sandwiching nicely between the Spyderco Police G10 and the discontinued Endura 4 G10, the Calypso fits in nicely. It is about the size of an Endura and features the same skeletonized liner/thin G10 construction of the others. That means it's easy and thin to carry and lightweight: 4.4 ounces. The FFG VG10 steel leaf blade cut well with the cardboard and sharpened readily; check out that wicked edge. Speed, lockup, quality, blade centering, retention, and balance are outstanding on this Seki City produced blade. The earth brown high traction G10 scales rock and I would not change the color. A miss would be the complete lack of, you guessed it, jimping. Maybe that's a throw back to the original 1990s Calypso model. It was an easy shop addition to add it. The clip is polished and 4-way positionable. I will re-grind the tip of it for less obnoxiousness [shown]. Value is good at around $135 and this soon-to-be-gone Spyderco Sprint Run would make a useful and cool addition to your Collection. Especially if you're a sheepdog.//////////////////////Nutnfancy Likability Scale: 9 out of 10 //////////////////////////////http://www.bladehq.com/cat--Nu....tnfancy-Specials--91
