The Caribbean™ model combines an ultra-corrosion-resistant blade steel with the many advantages of Spyderco’s high-strength Compression Lock® mechanism. Its full-flat-ground, satin-finished blade is precision machined from nitrogen-enriched LC200N steel and is available with a choice of a leaf-shaped or sheepsfoot profile. The leaf-shaped blade provides a more utilitarian point, while the blunt-tipped sheepsfoot blade is the traditional mariner’s choice for enhanced safety and use around inflatable watercraft. The Caribbean’s blade is housed in a vibrantly colored handle featuring scales crafted from layered black and yellow G-10. Their intricately machined pattern provides a non-slip texture and reveals the contrasting colors to create a high-visibility striped design. Skeletonized liners nested within the scales support the knife’s high-strength Compression Lock mechanism and its easy-to-clean open-backed handle construction. To allow convenient carry and immediate access, the handle also includes a black-coated titanium clip configurable for left or right-side tip-up carry.
