Spyderco Caribbean on Sale
Re: Spyderco Caribbean on Sale
both are great choices. i didn't fully appreciate the caribbean until i had it in my hand.HolySteel wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 7:46 pmThanks, Mongo, for posting this heads-up. I have succumbed, also to the SE. I had planned on getting a Pacific Salt 2 as my first SE, but this one wins out by a hair.mongo1958 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 11:14 amI was scanning the internet knife stores and I found the Caribbean SE leaf on sale at knife center for $194.95.
I think the yellow stripes are kind of funky looking but the price is pretty good so I ordered it.
David shared some photos of scales that were dyed. So this knife may be changing color after I get it.

Re: Spyderco Caribbean on Sale
Mine arrived a little while ago. Just a touch of adjustment and it's as good a flipper as my PM2. After my initial eyebrow-raising at the handle, it's growing on me and I'm finding nothing not to like about it. Will give it the bagel test later this evening.

Re: Spyderco Caribbean on Sale
A truly great knife to take fishing.
Re: Spyderco Caribbean on Sale
That's my thinking - I'm planning to have my Caribbean SE and Siren with me fishing this Summer.
I was stunned at how sharp this knife is. When I got it today I slashed the plastic padded envelope it arrived in, to shreds.
Re: Spyderco Caribbean on Sale
Carried one today while beachcombing. Saw porpoises, but nothing to cut. :)

Re: Spyderco Caribbean on Sale
My fully serrated Caribbean is not only my favorite BBQ and food prep folder. It’s becoming one of my favorite folders all together. I normally switch up carry folders a lot but this thing has been kicking everything else out of the pocket. People often ask what you would pick if you could only carry one pocket knife. I’ve never been able to come remotely close to answering that question. I’m not saying this is the one, but it’s closer than anything else has come. And considering I had no desire to get this knife until about a month ago, that’s saying a lot.

Re: Spyderco Caribbean on Sale
The scales ars so ugly I haven't pulled the trigger in spite of loving everything else about this knife.SchoonerBum wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 6:35 amThere have been rumours that there might be an FRN backlock Caribbean in the works.
The secondary hand sand grooves completely change my thinking about that though. That looks great with a more usual spyder-ish pattern
v2.0 I'm in immediately.
Re: Spyderco Caribbean on Sale
the caribbean is definitely not my favorite knife, but if i can only carry one knife (and i'm not working out), it's my number one choice.bladesandbeverages wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 8:33 pmMy fully serrated Caribbean is not only my favorite BBQ and food prep folder.

BTW, If you want one you may want to buy sooner than later. They have been discontinued.
I have been smitten by the SE and its ability to aggressively cut through what ever it is being used on.
The P4 SE and the Delica 4 were the latest.
I believe only the SE versions have been discontinued, can anybody confirm or deny this? I see only the SE models named on the official Discountinued 2023 list. Were the PE versions discontinued in 2022? I cannot seem to find an official thread for 2022.
Re: Spyderco Caribbean on Sale
I picked an SE leaf Caribbean up last year and have (grudgingly) come to the conclusion that it is tied for the highly coveted position of ‘most used Spyderco in my collection’ with my Magnacut mule. It is bloody brilliant, but my goodness is it ugly Saying that I’m idly looking to pick up the PE in both blade shapes. The only other folder I like even half as much for work is the Manix XL. I missed out on the 4V St Nick’s sprint and am still grouching about it.

Re: Spyderco Caribbean on Sale
If it had the stiff detent my yojumbos have it'd probably be my EDC. Love the ergos, blade shape, salt construction and the edge all the way to the handle.Bill1170 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 29, 2023 8:48 pmI hope that the Caribbean being discontinued is indicative of a revised version launching soon. Fundamentals of that model are great. I think the scales were unpopular and expensive to produce. Myself I’d love it with thinner blade stock and FRN scales. Everything else is beautiful about the design, for me. MagnaCut would be nice.
