Replacing my Spyderco Calypso Jr

[perry]

I think that my 8 or 9 year old Calypso Jr has been liberated. Last I saw it was when I started peeling an orange at work on Monday night, and then when I went to look for it Tuesday it was gone. I don't normally leave it out on my desk, but, I've never really worried about it either. Could be with a new owner, or maybe I accidentally threw it out, or maybe it's hiding somewhere. Maybe it will reappear one day... I loved that little knife. Disappeared in my pocket due to its light weight and small size; I broke two clips and decided not to buy a new one.

I'm pretty sure this is the one I had: Spyderco Calypso Jr. Gray FRN

It was the only pocket knife I've carried, except a Leatherman I got last year that feels heavy in my pocket. So I'm going to miss it pretty quickly and am now looking for something to replace it and hope it shows back up one day.

I'm thinking about these three so far:
Spyderco Delica4 Flat Ground FRN
Spyderco Native FRN

Anything else in a similar size and $100-ish price range I should consider? Any of those seem "better" than the others? Anyone have a Calypso Jr. they want to send off to a new home?

It's just my simple pocket knife... opening boxes, cutting fruit, cleaning fingernails... doesn't need to be too incredibly fancy.

I won a used Native from PaleRider on this forum, and I gotta tell you, this thing never leaves my side anymore. It is a fantastic little knife. You wouldn't go wrong getting one.

I have carried a brace of Native IIIs for several years now. I lost one awhile back, and it stayed gone for a couple months. Turns out I had dropped it in the snow while at work. One of my employees found it and returned it to me. Wiped off what little rust I could see, sharpened the blade, oiled up the action, worked the crap out of it, and it's back in service, good as new.

Can't say enough good things about Spyderco, or about the Native in particular. Love mine!

How about replacing it with the full size Calypso (limited edition-sprint run)?

Spyderco Calypso

I just happen to know someone that has these.

I think the full size is larger than I'd want. Do you know someone that has the Caly3 sprint run still? Spyderco Caly3 Super Blue

I know someone that is suppose to be getting them (Caly3-Super Blue) next week, they are being shipped out this week.

Neat. What do you think about the Super Blue steel? Good for an knife that lives in my pocket and maybe doesn't receive the best care in the world?

See the picture on this thread: Rust on Super Blue? - Page 2 The coloring looks cool, but don't know if that's good or bad

I really don't have any experience with Super Blue steel or know anyone that has. The Caly 3 with Super Blue steel will be the first knives that I have had with this steel. I do know from reading, Super Blue is suppose to have excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance properties. If Spyderco is using it, I would bet that it is good to go.

Bad news is that I cleaned my desk at work and didn't find it. Good news is that I took things out of my backpack and found it buried in a small pocket. Wonder why I put it there? Bad news is that I still want to get another knife now!

Here it is with my Fisher bullet pen

I love my sage, it's the titanium one but I almost got the carbon fiber one, it's really nice.

The sage in carbon fiber is my favorite knife that I own. I do plan on getting the other versions of the same blade here soon.
