Spyderco Caribbean Serrated Real world experience
So I have become very pleased with the Pacific Salt Serrated and was wondering how people are doing with the Caribbean Serrated in LC200N?
Very Happy with H1 in a serrated blade how does LC200N compare? Thinking of purchasing so help appreciated.

Re: Spyderco Caribbean Serrated Real world experience
That's a good question. I've only considered LC200N in PE. Is there a benefit in it over H1 in SE?
Re: Spyderco Caribbean Serrated Real world experience
One I can think of, off hand. LC200N can be flat ground. I have an SE sheepsfoot Caribbean and the blade is ground thinner than even the SE Delica wharncliffe.FullCircleHook wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 6:43 pmThat's a good question.

Re: Spyderco Caribbean Serrated Real world experience
FFG/SE is a formidable combo. I'm really interested in this steel and how it performs in SE for that reason alone. All I've heard so far is that it isn't quite as tough as H1 and that in PE it holds an edge better than H1....not really any feedback on SE performance yet. I need to get one for myself and check it out.

Wow, that’s very interesting. I hadn’t even considered picking one up in SE, but that makes me consider it. I’m still dreaming that this will get the titanium treatment like Sal discussed at one point.

Any traction on testing one yet?Evil D wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 7:34 pmFFG/SE is a formidable combo. I'm really interested in this steel and how it performs in SE for that reason alone.

Re: Spyderco Caribbean Serrated Real world experience
Yeah that makes two of us >> because I'm now wondering if most if not all Nitrogen based blade steels might possess properties ideal for serrated edges. Because I'm finding that steels you wouldn't suspect of being great in SE are baffling to some degree because I just dont' see a lot of consistency in many blade steels that are particularly good in SE :confused:Evil D wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 7:34 pmFFG/SE is a formidable combo.

I've been financially beat up over this recent surgery I had back in May but I've about got enough nickels put together to try one of these LC200N blades in SE>> and I do like the design of the Caribbean. Again I'm wondering if many of these Nitrogen based blade steels are the ticket for Spyderedges>> because H-1 sure surprised me greatly when Spyderco did their controlled test and found it to be one of the best :confused:
To be truthful I would actually prefer a TUSK model in SE if we could get Spyderco to offer it.

Not just yet, had to dump some cash into my car and it's holiday time so maybe Santa will hook me up. I'm also thinking about a SE Tenacious.

I was thinking about getting one too but then I wonder if I shouldn't just get another cara cara rescue 2 for half the price.Evil D wrote: ↑Wed Nov 14, 2018 11:49 amDoeswhateveraspidercan wrote: ↑Wed Nov 14, 2018 9:27 amAny traction on testing one yet?Evil D wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 7:34 pmFFG/SE is a formidable combo.
