Description

SP144CFPE: C144CFPE Caly 3.5

Spyderco

A good folding knife should function and feel like a natural extension of the hand. A great one does that while looking like a million bucks. The Caly 3.5's carbon fiber handle positions the hand and fingers ergonomically for a comfortable and controlled grip. The blade has an internal core of exotic high-carbon ZDP-189 that is layered between two more pliable layers of 420J2 steel, creating a high performance, stunningly visual flat-ground, leaf-shaped blade. The core's ZDP-189 cutting edge has 3% Carbon for extended edge retention.

Pros: Blade Material, Blade Sharpness, Ease of Opening, Lock Ease of Use, Lock Type, Pocket Clip, Weight
Cons: Handle Feel, Handle Material, Overall Quality
Good but not a five
It’s getting a lot of pocket time because I have probably ten knifes that are to nice to carry. So I don’t buy a new knife unless I’m willing to use and carry .I like its functionality its weight the thinness in pocket. I really like the 189/420 steel. I always appreciate jump thunder ramp and finger choir ,I don’t care for the CF scales way to smooth and almost none of the edge of the scales rounded off. Same can be said of the blade and spydie hole their edge hasn’t been knocked down at all. It’s a shame Spyderco didn’t have them built in mangiago Italy the finishing touches are way better in Italy. Also very gritty pivot had to put blue lube in it and work it to smooth out action. Most importantly would I buy it again ,yup pros outweigh the cons.

Classy
Great Knife. Very sharp as expected. Pretty slim in the pocket. The deep carry clip took some getting used to but its nice. I will only carry this to the office and out to fancy dinners. I have my hard use knives for the field. This will stay pampered as it should. Fit and finish are spot on. The thumb hole was sharp but am now used to it. Great looking blade. If you are thinking about purchasing this knife, you should do it. It is simple but impressive. Great piece of sharp steel.
