Re: Re-Sprinting the Super Blue Caly 3/3.5?
I'd like the idea of the post title but i think caly line need some upgrade, for example bronze washer or not pinned but screwed handle.

Re: Re-Sprinting the Super Blue Caly 3/3.5?
i have a caly 3.5 sb sprint and i really love the aesthetics and the look but somehow it’s my least carried spyderco - no idea why but if i fell like carrying a bigger blade i always reach for one of my militaries or the lionspy even the endura gets slightly more pocket time.
maybe i’ve to just carry it more often

I like the 3.5 a lot and would love to see more variations come out.
I would love to see a green/HAP40 sprint as well as a CF/SS/Damascus sprint. I would obviously welcome an FRN model, especially in fun steels. A Golden made frn Caly3.5 in Cruwear or M4 would be impossible to resist.

Agreed. I like the ideal of having construction like the UKPK but with liner less G10 scales. Like a hybrid between the Lil Native and UKPK. I love the recessed domed hardware.

The caly 3/3.5 will likely never be done again due to being sprint runs.
BUT a solid Super Blue FRN CALY 3/3.5 run would be nice!!!
I love me some Super Blue if you couldn't tell

Welcome to the forum MrSB,
SB is right at the top for me, have the entire run with a few dupes, I'd like to see it used in an all together different design, perhaps someday.

Re: Re-Sprinting the Super Blue Caly 3/3.5?
Maybe a reoccurring flash batch sprint every so often?
The pricing on the secondary market is nuts when they're available, and I know there's a lot sitting in safes somewhere
FRN would be jussst fine

We can dream about new super blue models. :)
At least we get one this year with the calypso jr super blue debuting soon!

Re: Re-Sprinting the Super Blue Caly 3/3.5?
It would defeat the purpose of "sprints".
A one time run isn't a sprint if another batch is produced.
I had to pay a premium for every super blue model due to missing all the original release dates and finding I loved it after they had all sold out. Lol
Solid super blue frn caly 3/3.5 would be sweet! Cheers!

Re: Re-Sprinting the Super Blue Caly 3/3.5?
Right - which is why we should have a separate model that gets re relased every so often, no? The secondary prices have gotten so high vs what they went for new, and it discourages users. The caly wasn't sustainable as a regular model, but has enough fan base that I think a once every two or three year batch would do well

Re: Re-Sprinting the Super Blue Caly 3/3.5?
Theres nothing i’ve failed more at in life than procuring a superblue caly 3.5. Everytime one rears its head up on ebay like a meercat the shipper doesnt ship to Canada. Please do another superblue sprint with the 3.5, i would eat octagons for that to happen.
Re: Re-Sprinting the Super Blue Caly 3/3.5?
Hi Tristan_David, Cheddarnut.
I'm carrying the first production Caly 3.5 in quite a while. The maker seems to have overcome their very difficult challenges and is producing again. We'll hid-n-watch and hope fr the future.

Here's to hoping it goes well. The Caly series is one of the best.
Because desolate places allow us to breathe. And most people don't even know they're out of breath.

That’s sounds good Sal, greatly appreciate your updates on this one, I almost wanna call you lucky, but it’s your design . I bet it’s being a joy to carry

Re: Re-Sprinting the Super Blue Caly 3/3.5?
That's great news because it is such a gem. Had I found the Caly 3.5 before I got my Endela, it would probably be my EDC instead. Blade length the same but just feels a little sleeker.
Because the Caly is "prettier", I like to carry it more after hours.

Would love to see any Caly 3.5 being produced. LW, Super Blue, SRS13 or HAP-40…unquestionably one of my all-time favorite designs.

Re: Re-Sprinting the Super Blue Caly 3/3.5?
Most Perfect pocket knife achieved by spyderco is the superblue Caly 3.5 for me. Sal it would be really cool of you to bring this wonderful revelation in folding knives back into another production run.
As a side personal note: I really don’t like frn. and it’s really not about the material, more that it is in the way it’s texture molded, for me it looks too “sporty”. the abrasions are just overkill and fairly sharp, combining that with doing it in plastic, it just makes the handle look cheapy. Even though it technically is not. I just prefer a more traditional matte looking finish on the handle. I’d really love to see spyderco explore with modifying their textured g10 to be a like a grippier version of the same tightly checkered look. Perhaps even see them make a new type of composite molding material for handle scale making. Point is I think Sal has made such a refined and perfected folding locking knife design. I think instead of just turning it into another cheaper cost frn model, it’s handle scales it should be done with a little more traditional class and high performance refinement -Much like the Caly 3.5 is as a design.
