Any leads on a caly 3.5 SB
Any leads on a caly 3.5 SB
Anyone know any dealers that still have one. Even if it's MSRP or higher.
Not a buy or sell thread. Looking for a dealer. Need NIb.

If you run out of dealers, they show up in the BST forums and on the big auction site regularly.

Country Knives has "a limited quantity" for $250. They may be CC's. I bought my green PM2 from here after they were sold out everywhere else. It's a family operation. Brian Huegel and his family are nice to deal with.

Some of their prices are very nice. I got some long discontinued Goddards for around $100, which is a good deal in my head.Bile Bob wrote:Went and took a look and wow some of their prices are:DougC-3 wrote:Country Knives has "a limited quantity" for $250.

That's why they're still in stock. You can show up to every other retailer with a dump truck full of cash and they can't sell you one because they just don't have it.

Re: Any leads on a caly 3.5 SB
This knife would be a no-brainer to re-sprint :D

If they ran it again I'd probably buy one. I passed on the first and sort of regret it, but not enough to pay the secondary market prices.

Re: Any leads on a caly 3.5 SB
I have thinned out my collection a lot over the past 2 years, but one of my go-to staples is my Caly 3.5 SB. I have gotten rid of a lot of knives that I really enjoy, but this one is a keeper.
And my post is totally not helping you find one. Sorry about that.

Re: Any leads on a caly 3.5 SB
I wish I kept one of mine... I had two and sold the barely used one for around $150 and the NIB one for around $180 and they took FOREVER to sell... Things have changed haha

Same here. I had a couple and let them go and now I wish I'd kept them. Hindsight is a *****.Holland wrote:I wish I kept one of mine... I had two and sold the barely used one for around $150 and the NIB one for around $180 and they took FOREVER to sell... Things have changed haha
If I can't find another SB Caly then I would love to see a HAP40 Caly 3 sprint. Not holding my breath for either one, but a fella can wish...
Re: Any leads on a caly 3.5 SB
Let's add a pic of probably my most used Spydie of the last four years, beautiful patina.
Re: Any leads on a caly 3.5 SB
Now THAT is a perfect picture for a SB blade! :spyder:

Re: Any leads on a caly 3.5 SB
I think we need a comparison shot or two of the 3.0 in case anybody has trouble visualizing it 0.5" shorter :D
Not nearly as tasty as Marcus's, but here goes:

Two additional comparison pics just for reference:
one variant of each one of the four members of the Calypso/Caly-family and the three production variants of the Caly 3.5
