Calypso Sprint- Pics Inside
I forgot how long the original Calypsos are! Very nice run, IMO. I like the old skool lockbar without the Boye detent.
Thx for the pics!!! And congrats on the new knife!! It's wicked long, and nice to see it doesn't have a Boye dent. I hesitated to order it, but finally did now that I see your pics. Can't wait to receive it! :)

Man that thing looks great. Is it pinned or screw construction?

VERY nice knife indeed... Wow. I forgot how long those Calypso's were too. Geez! Looks like you could halve a watermelon and still have some blade to spare. :p I really like the thinness of the G-10 handle scales. (Similar to the Khukuri). Seems to make the knife almost "disappear" in your pocket. :) Congrats, man!

Wow - this looks like something the Deacon might really like.
