burnt orange G10 or fiberglass weave a-la GB Air and a laminate HAP40 blade, that would be a 100% buy now knife!

Considering how much love the Caly series gets on the forum here its strange that the sales were so poor. I have all three versions of the Caly 3.5 and absolutely love them. Any kind of new Caly would be a must have for me. Spyderco could sell a 3.5 with pink G10 and I'd still buy it. Not that theres anything wrong with pink ;)
Most recently acquired: Military 2, Paramilitary 2 Tanto x2, YoJUMBO, Swayback, Siren, DLC Yojimbo 2, Native Chief, Shaman S90V, Para 3 LW, Ikuchi, UKPK, Smock, SUBVERT, Amalgam, Para 3 CTS-XHP, Kapara, Paramilitary 2 M390
Grail Paramilitary 2 M390 X 2! ACHIEVED!!

Do you need supporters to rally around factory? :)
This is good idea. If I cannot get my Native or CAly in CPM M4, Caly 3 or Caly 3.5 in HAP40 will do the trick. Laminated blade will be fine.

Would LOVE a Hap40 Caly 3.5!! Endura has been a workhorse. I'm kicking myself for not getting a vg-10 Caly 3.5 when they were available at less than $100. I use my SB Caly 3.5 regularly but I'm a little afraid to use it for work because of its high replacement cost. I'd have to get 2 hap40s for future use!

Now that's really wishing since the Chokwe was never produced in Japan.

Now thats what I'm talking about speed, I've been Jonesing for a foliage sprint for a while now but the don't pop up very often. A new sprint would be a slam dunk.
Happy to be part of this great forum and group of down to earth spyderco addicts, Thanks Sal and gang.

OK guys, one thing at one time. Make your wish lists, but for now let's concentrate on HAP40 Caly3.5 and Caly3.

I'm watching this thread closely! ;) I didn't even think it was an option given the current situation with the maker but if it's even possible, then I'm so for it! :D

Now, the CF bolstered Damascus 3.5 was asked for first, well before anyone here heard of HAP40 (well, most of us)... Just sayin' ;)

Paul,
Please, stop this. In the old country people were saying that you are putting a salt on my open wounds :( .
This was one of my dream knives.

Sorry Roman! :( Bright side is that if Sal and company are able and willing to run a HAP40 sprint, then the dream for someday seeing this king of Caly 3.5's can live on brother!! :D
