Just got an email about this item still being pre ordered, I wish it would say shipped...
Any news? The wait for this and the Salty Native are killing me.

This is my most anticipated knife since the caly 3 hap 40 sprint. I hope it drops soon!

I've been waiting all year for this model. I can't wait to add it to the Super Blue clan!
Hopefully Spyderco releases more than 1 Super Blue model next year.
I know there isn't an issue with the demand of the steel :)

How about a Caly 3.5 damascus?!
So what's the next Super Blue model coming?![wink ;)](./images/smilies/winking-face.png)

Maybe they could do some DLC coated Solid Superblue knives like this new DLC Hap40 Delica. A solid superblue dragonfly 2 in red frn with DLC would be cool.

Re: Spyderco Calypso Jr. Sprint Run Knife Gray (Aogami Super Blue)
Can I request that we not post in this thread asking for updates? Every time I receive an email I get my hopes up that it is finally time.
My preference would be to only post if you have an update or notice for everyone.

Has Spyderco ever brought a discontinued model back to regular production?

Re: Spyderco Calypso Jr. Sprint Run Knife Gray (Aogami Super Blue)
You know that’s good question; of course it has been done for sprint runs like the Jester, but I don’t know about bringing something back for regular production.
My collection so far: 52100 Military (2); 52100 PM2 (2); 52100 Para3; Stretch2 V-Toku; KnifeWorks M4 PM2; BentoBox M390 PM2; BentoBox S90V Military; Police4 K390; S110V PM2; SS Delica AUS-6; Wayne Goddard Sprint VG-10
Wish list: Hundred Pacer; Sliverax; Mantra; 52100 PM2 SE; Kapara

I would be down for a Salt version! I really like the look of the Calypso and Jr.

Re: Spyderco Calypso Jr. Sprint Run Knife Gray (Aogami Super Blue)
Generally, no, but the reason most given for discontinued models is "slow sales". My understanding regarding the Caly family, is that they were discontinued due to quality issues, and sal was working with the third (?) generation at the factory to overcome these issues... My assumption was that they would return, providing the issues could be resolved (at least the Caly 3 & 3.5, idk about original Calypso).
(This is from back when they announced that they were going to be discontinued, so my memory might be a tad hazy)

So if the quality issues have been resolved to a point that they can do a sprint, then why not productionalize it? H1 SE Salt would be very cool. Solid SRS-15 and solid Hap40, etc would be great as well. Such a great little model. Hope to see a triumphant return to glory! Ill be grabbing a few Superblue for sure.

Re: Spyderco Calypso Jr. Sprint Run Knife Gray (Aogami Super Blue)
IIRC, sal mentioned that the recent Sprint was somewhat of a trial/test run. I haven't seen any complaints about the Sprint quality, but I'd speculate that they were examined pretty closely during QC in Golden, so I don't know what the actual outcome is.steelcity16 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 2:37 pmmattman wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 1:10 pmGenerally, no, but the reason most given for discontinued models is "slow sales".

Re: Spyderco Calypso Jr. Sprint Run Knife Gray (Aogami Super Blue)
Is it possible to preorder this somewhere in a way that guarantees that I get one?
Re: Spyderco Calypso Jr. Sprint Run Knife Gray (Aogami Super Blue)
Probably not this late in the game. Even if you can find a dealer that's still accepting pre-orders I wouldn't get on the list and expect to get one. At this point it's probably best to just wait until these start to drop, find a dealer that has them in stock, and place your order asap.blendergasket wrote: ↑Sat Aug 11, 2018 11:01 pmIs it possible to preorder this somewhere in a way that guarantees that I get one?

What? RS, where did the pics of a genuine specimen come from. Does that mean these are close?
