Magna Cut Caribbean?
Magna Cut Caribbean?
I am pondering a sheepsfoot Caribbean and can’t help but think it will be great in Magna cut as well. Been wanting one for a while. Might need to pick one up to get free shipping with my next Mule

Re: Magna Cut Caribbean?
I don't thing there would be much opposition to that. And I while I can imagine that some of the hard-core ocean dwellers would not want to see ALL salt knives be turned to Magnacut (and I don't honestly expect Sypderco would make such a move), the Caribbean is more of a general outdoor use / utility knife in my view and Magnacut (based on all that I have read and heard about it) would be a great match. At the same time - it is a Taiwan model and I expect it will be a little while before we see Magnacut makig it all the way there.

Re: Magna Cut Caribbean?
I wouldn't be surprised if they're shipping MagnaCut to Taichung for production just to increase the availability of the steel in their catalog, since the Golden factory will probably stay at capacity forever. There are probably some "premier" models with the steel already in the works. If not then maybe availability is so low that all they can afford to make are a few Golden models at first, but Sal had mentioned they put in for a large order and since Golden can only make so much I would expect Taichung to get a portion. The question is, what models get it first?

Re: Magna Cut Caribbean?
Well, along that line of thinking the Caribbean would not be a bad candidate, as well as Spydiechef or Sage 1/5.

Re: Magna Cut Caribbean?
Agreed, I would think the Salt worthiness of MagnaCut would make it a perfect candidate for a Caribbean and Spydiechef. I'll be at the front of the line if they get made.

Re: Magna Cut Caribbean?
This is one I could easily wait for if it were to happen . Definitely would be a Sheepfoot blade if Magnacut was incorporated in this model . I almost purchased one a while ago but the Siren was a little bit higher on the list . MG2

Re: Magna Cut Caribbean?
That would be an amazing knife!
And I’ll say it again: Sal, please do Magnacut with Peel-ply CF with the same milled pattern!
Also: the Sheepsfoot Caribbean has not been CQI’d yet with the black hardware.

Sheepsfoot with SE, peel ply carbon fiber and the machined grooves...that would be the fluted carbon fiber Salt of my dreams. I'd be ok without the grooves too just to get peel ply carbon fiber.

Re: Magna Cut Caribbean?
My Sheepsfoot PE is CQI with black. Are you talking about SE? If so, I am disappointed. I would like to add a Leaf SE to my arsenal, but I want the coated hardware.
Re: Magna Cut Caribbean?
I recently bought a Sheepsfoot Carribean SE at an ungodly low price on the secondary market. When it came with silver hardware, I concluded the CQI'd version was about to drop, and the dealer was dumping existing stock. It's an awesome, awesome cutter! I just bought a leaf SE also, and its hardware was coated, so you should be good.

Oh, good to know! Thanks! LOL, I wish I knew this two months ago.Coastal wrote: ↑Sat Feb 19, 2022 5:51 pmI recently bought a Sheepsfoot Carribean SE at an ungodly low price on the secondary market.

Re: Magna Cut Caribbean?
Looks like the Caribbean has finally been restocked at (some) dealers. Can’t seem to locate any CQI info. Anyone have better luck ascertaining what might be improved? Certainly not the steel, but hoping the pivot at the least.

Re: Magna Cut Caribbean?
i would definitely want them, but probably not enough to buy the knives again at the higher prices they're already demanding. i'll grab my magnacut manix, but i don't know if i'll be buying taichung salts in magnacut. i don't even want to think about how expensive they'll be.
keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.

Re: Magna Cut Caribbean?
I suppose a MagnaCut Caribbean is inevitable, given the Salt role this steel has been assigned. I will remain content with my original, not to be obstinate, but to respect how original the original is. I’ll get my MagnaCut in other models.
