This is an excellent knife. I love the looks and feel of the Calypso 3.5. It took a trip with me to Nashvegas to meet up with my daughter, son-in-law and my grandson. All the normal everyday tasks I put it through were easy for it to handle. It was used for opening boxes, mail, cutting apples & peaches, cutting GB ties, and even some PE hose I use at work. Only took a few licks to sharpen it back up.
One thing I really liked was the jimping on both the top and bottom of the blade. That feature made it very comfortable to hold and use. More knives should have that as it made it easy for anyone to handle the knife well.
There were a couple of big cons for me. I couldn't get over the way the clip was. Guess I'm so used to having it tip down plus there was no option to change it. Except the clip could be put on the back of the same side.
The other thing I couldn't get used to was the lockback, so used to liner locks. Most times I need to have one hand operation of my knives. I found that I pulled out my EDC necker instead of the Caly because it could be done with one hand.
This knife will not be on my "Must Have" list. I feel very neutral about it, although I am glad to have the chance to play with it. Overall the knife is top rate, just not for me. Hope y'all like it.
