No, but only because I have a Caly 3.5, a SG Endura on order and strongly intend getting a P4 (of some flavour) quite soon!

Re: It's time for a new Calypso!
Heck Yea! I'd buy at least 2 Calypso's in Super Blue, I can't get enough super blue :)
How about a Caly 3.5 damascus?!
So what's the next Super Blue model coming?

Re: It's time for a new Calypso!
In my opinion the full-size Calypso needs to be updated with serrations on the thumb ramp and the choil like the Caly 3 and 3.5.
The last sprint run needed those refinements. JMHO
I'm thinking that the pinned scales and lack of serrations were conscious choices to keep the price low. If I remember correctly those brown Calypso sprints sold for $135. We won't see that low price again next go round.

Re: It's time for a new Calypso!
I would really like to see a C-54 re-introduction. I would not mind a lightweight version. This knife does not have the finger bumps the Endura has and would make my large hand happier. I am okay with G10, and brown is fine by me, though foliage green would be even better. I would prefer a stainless steel rather than a carbon steel blade on something like this. I voted no on the Superblue, but I absolutely would like to have a C-54 in a top flight stainless of some sort.JD Spydo wrote: ↑Fri Dec 21, 2018 6:05 amNO!!! I want the one pictured on the right hand side>> yeah the big C-54 Calypso. And I don't care if it's the brown G-10 handle or if they want to go back to the original Micarta handle. The C-54 is truly one of the very best models from The GOLDEN ERA of SPYDERS (1998-2004). A new C-54 Calypso in a Supersteel would be a great way to start the new year 2019.

Re: It's time for a new Calypso!
Probably wouldn’t go for Super Blue, but I’d definitely buy one in HAP40 and green G-10, like the Caly 3.
I don't get people who only carry one knife
