Kahz spills the beans... apparently...

[Kahz]

Hoosier,



I heard you say something about &quot;peer pressure&quot; somewhere... <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>



So, the UPS man left me a goody today... <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Shall I tell???? LOL! Clay and Lsaulog, do you guys still want to know???? *evil grin* <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>



Ah... nothing like receiving a knife by mail, nothing like it!



Kahz

[Hoosierdaddy]

Kahz,

Come on now... tell us... which one is it and who's to blame for this one <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

[Rookie]

Please tell us Kahz.

In the land of knives, Spyderco is king.

[Lsaulog]

You are a cruel, cruel woman! <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Tell already! The excitement is killing me!

The phrase &quot;evil woman&quot; comes to mind. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

You got a SANTOKU. or was it the LUM?

Hmmmm, according to my calculations, Watson, I would have to deduce that the Noble Kahz has bought herself the famed Bob Lum Chinese Folder. I don't know if I would go as far as to say that it would be in the 'gun-metal blue' series, but I would surely place willing bet that it is the Lum. Why do I think this?

* Notice that she has mentioned Clay's name. Isn't he the &quot;Chinese Folder King&quot;?

* AND didn't Hoosierdaddy and Lsaulog just get their own Chinese Folders?

Ahh, this case is indeed a steamy one, but I believe that we just might have wrapped up yet another case, Watson....<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

So Kahz, am I close?? I might be way out of line in my deductions, but even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

**Spydernut waiting in breathless wonder**

Must be great being a lady knife enthusiast on this forum. How long can you hold the suspense Kahz?

[sam the man..]

Ummmm... the mystery deepens...

Por favor, Kahz. I am in suspenders.

[Blades]

Kahz,
This is not right. But it is funny. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>


Blades

[Kahz]

OMG!!!! This is what happens while an &quot;innocent&quot; woman goes out to a bookstore to have some coffee and read books for free???? Geez, people... <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I really was at a Borders being a cheap-o, but well, you all asked for it. Here are a few points I want to make clear:

1. Everyone is to blame, everyone in this forum for having &quot;pushed me&quot; to buy this knife. Oh, and thanks, btw, great suggestion, expecially since it's discontinued. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
2. Clay is always to blame for everything, no matter what.
3. I AM evil. <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
4. The Chinese Folder comes AFTER the book.
5. I still have not bought the book.
6. The Santoku comes AFTER the Chinese Folder.
7. Have you noticed how many times my &quot;next to buy&quot; list has changed? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> LMAO! But the Folder is the next knife after the book, thanks to who? Clay, of course, he is to blame, always. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
8. Sharp1, I like the Kahzmaster idea!
9. This knife will most likely NOT cause another convenience store incident. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
10. It has been going around the forum for the last week and a half or so...
11. I forgot what this number was for...
12. Wow, I am already in 12?
13. This is an unlucky number, so I will not use it. <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
14. Clay has not responded, I bet he is looking for a kangaroo bag to send me. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
15. This is half of 30.
16. This is 8 x 2.
17. This is a prime number.
18. Voting age in many countries.
19. Last of the teens.
20. I am LMAO, I think I've had too much caffeine today and you all crack me up.

So, peer pressure, right Hoosier? What's the knife that keeps coming up in conversations, that just got discontinued, that people just &quot;never got it&quot;, that is an extension of the hand, and that resembles the Dragonfly?

I got mine in SE, and I am amazed at the design. I know, I didn't break the bank too much, it's inexpensive, but definitely not &quot;cheap&quot;. Well worth the money I paid for it, John F. Jensen has excellent service, btw. Once I have had the chance to actually use it in real life, not just play with it, I will post my review.

I assume you all know which knife I am talking about now, right? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Can we get an emote with an evil face now, Sal???? Hee, hee, hee... *evil grin*

Kahz

[Kahz]

I forgot to mention...

Oh, it's the lightweight version, too. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I can't stop playing with it. It's so light! Oh, and the flat grind is pretty! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Kahz

[hy]

Calypso Jr Lightweight??<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

[Kahz]

Hy,

You are correct! Yes, Calypso Jr. Lwt. SE in all it's fishy-scaled glory. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> VERY cool fish scales on the handles, btw.

I am so proud of my new knife... *lovingly admiring her new knife*

Kahz

[hy]

Kahz...congrats...its a really nice knife...I've got one in exactly the same configuration and its one of my main edcs!!!<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

[SpyderNut]

Wonderful choice, Kahz! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I am happy for you. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> I also can sleep in peace tonight!
I also enjoy using my SE Calypso Jr. It is my new EDC. It is SO nice for daily carry I can't seem to put it down. Tonight I even got my third cut with it. Yes, I was playing with it while I was watching the &quot;Red Corner&quot;, [with Richard Grere] when I accidently dropped it on my ankle and it made a nice slice right above the joint. Ouchie!
Chalk up one more SpyderBite! <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Enjoy your new toy!

~Spydernut

&quot;When in doubt, remember that you'll be happier with it.&quot;

[Clay Kesting]

Great choice Kahz, although I think you now need a PE to go with it. On second thought just make sure the Chinese Folder is PE. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size=1 face=arial>quote:<hr height=1 noshade>Clay has not responded, I bet he is looking for a kangaroo bag to send me. <hr height=1 noshade></BLOCKQUOTE></font><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2> Actually I'm just sick of being blamed for everything so I'm not going to hang around here much anymore <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. No, just pulling your leg, although I may not be around as much over the next few months (years). I started building a 15' sailing skiff years ago but haven't done any work on it for the past 3 or 4 years. Now I've got the bit between my teeth again and plan to get it finished before next Christmas, so most of my free time will be spent out in the shed up to my elbows in wood dust and epoxy. If you don't see me here I'll probably be over at rec.boats.building <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>.

Take care,
Clay

SpyderNut,

Heal fast! These beauties bite bad. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Clay,

Please don't be absent too much, your posts are always a joy to read. I will get the Folder in PE once I go get it. Good luck with your project! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Kahz

[yog]

Yep seconded, you also need the PE version.

I picked up my PE Calypso Jnr when someone mentioned over at blade forums that they were able to shave somebodys head at a party with the Calypso Jnr straight out the box(wild party ?).
But they were right. Straight from the box the Calypso Jnr is shaving sharp. Well at least arm hair, I haven't tried going bold yet <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

[la_benge]

Kahz...

This thread was great fun! Thanks!

I really like the calypso jr too... beautiful, fits my hand great, and cuts wonderfully. It's my first tip down knife though, and I'm trying to get used to it. So - I just bought a native as a tip up replacement for my long lost delica.

Enjoy!

~from the other woman on the site~

[Kahz]

Clay, Yog, so I need a PE Calypso Jr.???? *looking worried* Well, it will just have to wait a while. Meanwhile, I will enjoy this teethy friend. I have to admit, I like this blade even better than my teethed Remote Release (although I still find this one to be a cool knife)... I think I am in love... <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

La Benge, KEWL! Another girl! I had seen you around but I never knew that you are a woman. Glad to have more on the forum. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> The Native is a cool knife, and so is the Calypso. I am amazed at how many designs Spyderco has, and how different they all feel. Even though I don't find the Native SS to be uncomfortable, I can feel the difference with the Calypso Jr. I have been playing with it since I got it yesterday and it is much more ergonomically designed. Now I don't know if I should switch EDC's for a while (well, my Mouse always remains in that status, but how about the others?) Shall I allow the Dragonfly and Native to rest and carry the Calypso Jr. for a while???? Decisions, decisions... <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

This thread made me think of...

Col. Mustard in the Library with the lead pipe! *echoes of Tim Curry*

Anyone else?... Could this be the &quot;Contest&quot; we are looking for? How bout it?

The Grand Prize... A Roo pouch... sorry Skippy
Just a thought... comments?

[ruxton]

congrats on the knife Kahz, great choice
MAT

[Clay Kesting]

Hoosierdaddy,

Sounds promising, can you expand on the idea? The only problem I can foresee is, since it's always my fault anyway, everybody's going to get most of the answer right: &quot;Clay with the Chinese Folder in the.......&quot; <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Clay

"The trouble is that you think you have time."

[Hoosierdaddy]

Clay,

ROF-LMAO... I guess you're right again... wouldn't be much of a &quot;mystery&quot; just thought it was a cool thread~~ thanks Kahz
BTW... congrats. on the new Calypso jr.
I've had my eye on his bigger brother, but I'm a bit &quot;nude&quot; (Kiwi for broke) Aren't Kiwis always broke? Sorry Clay I hope you're not Kiwi! When I get more &quot;dosh&quot; I'll &quot;shout&quot; for the Calypso <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
Don't have too many ideas on contest... That's where you guys and gals come in!

[bell]

Bravo, Kahz,
The perfect choice! My EDC is the Calypso Jr. Micarta, SE. How could they discontinue this; the acme, the pinnacle, the apex of folders? Sensual in the hand.
Abrazos.
