The year is 2024 and I finally purchased a Caribbean. It’s great, ergos are nice, and the action is good. Excellent buy!

Was finally able to get one of these yesterday. After about 8 months of looking and searching, they became available and I was able to get the leaf profile plain edge. 👍🏻

Great review. I have absolutely no need for this knife, but I want it. If I start fishing regularly again this would absolutely be in my pocket.

Lc200n Sprint runs for everyone!

I wish someone would make scales for this knife. I want one but the 1st thing I would do is dye those scales.

Designed for cutting up pineapple to make Pina Coladas

10:20 Waldo got lost in the Outback and nobody found him for years. Now he is going to find you

This knife has not been out of my pocket since Christmas! Thank you for all your solid reviews.

Most thorough video I’ve watched about the Caribbean. Brilliant work! Thank you!

Hi Pete, thanks for yet another good knife review. You had mentioned your arm in some previous video; if i could give you an advice.. Instead of sitting down when doing the rope cutting test, you could try to do it standing up with your cutting surface at a good hight. This is alot more ergonomic position, and will allow you to use your weight and leverage more than forcing your arm and shoulder. The hight of you bench or cutting area you have to experiment with, depending on your height and length of arm. This should take care of future problems. Wish you the best, looking forward to see more of your videos. Take care

It’s designed for the off-shore sailor, fisherman, or very corrosive environments, and while wearing gloves. Thanks for showing the handle ridges which are impossible to see in the marketing ads. Great review. I’ll still take the Spydiechef....hands down.

You have a great sense of humour and it is nice to have entertainment with our useful information. Thanks for another great review.

LC200N is such a great upgrade over H1.

It was well worth the wait for the review. One on the best yet. I cant wait to get mine having seen you worship at the Caribbean altar. Just not quite sure which PE model to get. Thanks again Pete, legendary.

I just got my Caribbean after twenty-plus years of having to sharpen my Atlantic H1 Salt every time I wanted to use it. I have lived on a sailboat for forty-seven years, buying new knives and sharing the H1 steel. An eight-hour test is nothing. Try eighteen months in salt water.

If you live on the Atlantic Ocean like I do the salinity level in the Atlantic vs Pacific will cause LC200N to rust at some point or another if it’s being exposed to regular submersion in Atlantic sea water. If you aren’t taking the knife out on the water all the time the LC200N is probably better than H1 because of edge retention, but as a designated kayak fishing knife I like the pacific/atlantic salt series.

never heard of salwater rafting lol 😂

There ya. Your review finished just I got to my station. I actually really like this knife with the warncliffe blade. It may be next in my collection. You know, to throw in the tackle box.

Never mind, I just realized I can dye the yellow out.

Native 5 is getting LC200N variant I believe. More “normal”

An excellent, thorough review Pete. Well done

I had no interest in this knife until you and AKB reviewed it. Now I need one. Thanks alot dickheads.

Id love LC200N PM2

The intro was epic.

Great review, brother! You really knock out a comprehensive review. Thank you very much for sharing! 👍

Next on my list, stopped collecting then began again, great knife 🔪 👍

Just going to say it. You probably have thought of it... but i see lots of people sharpen their blades after taking the blade out from the handle... then you can sharpen that small part of the knife.

Just bought this knife but with the leaf shape blade. So pumped

Knife geek comment, that PM2 blade is neither a drop point (convex on top at tip), or a clip point (concave on top at tip). Not really sure what it is. Anyway, thanks for a very good reveiw of this Salt.

First one from Spyderco I've been interested in. I'm in Florida and kayak. Right now I carry a beater Scrade and my Cold Steele Immortal.

I like it, but for that neon yellow G10. Make it blood red plus a really nice stonewash on the blade!🤩🤩🤩

Its kind of a pain but on knives that have the edge right to the handle and you can't get it all with the kme I take the handle right off the blade and clamp only the blade. It may be over kill but if you want to get every last bit that's an option

There will be a 4.25” blade version out in the future. Sal has hinted at a possible Ti handled version too. Great review as always

First ? I have one as well and posted a rough vid on making the blade drop shutty. The weirdest thing of the knife is the torx hole on the non show side. It serves no purpose.

Was shocked to hear that this beat out the PM2 in your estimation. Love the premise of this knife but I think the lack of choil would drive me nuts. Either that or I would just have to freehand sharpen only for the Caribbean.

Changed screws to black in the CQI release. Disassemble to sharpen.

I just got one myself and I have to agree that sharpening it without messing up the handle will be a challenge for sure. Maybe this is one I just send back to Spyderco to sharpen it for me. I would love to keep the warranty intact if possible. I know if you take the blade out you could sharpen it just fine but that is risky with those screws IMO.

I would really like to see two of the same knife one fully serrated the other full plain edge cut rope until they are no longer able to. Just to see what the difference is

I have that same delica 4 in the teal color frn. It is my absolute favorite edc just because how awesome the color is. Made me realize you really don't need super steels after carrying vg10 for this last almost year.

Best video on this knife I've found!! Come on Santa!

16:00 Here is an excellent view you should take of the delica handle shape versus the non shaped para handle slabs

Just got one. I like it so far..... Would like a deeper pocket clip but I am a fan of the scales color (cuz there are plenty of black knives out there) and great egos, not to heavy but it's biggish. Mine came with the black screws.

Solid Review!!! Thanxs..

Caribbean after market scale need to be a thing. Micarta? Yeaaa

I use a honeing plate to sharpen so edge length is not an issue here; I won't use a sharpening system any time soon.

You'd have gotten my like on the Monkey Island reference alone...but also, an excellent and very helpful review! I think this is my next Spyder (for food prep and backup self-defense). Just need to decide about serrations.

Probably the only spyderco I like ,good review

It would be interesting to see your take on the Pacific and atlantic salt knives in lc200N.

Great knife and thorough review. Going rafting? (freshwater ) Bring a full tang serrated blade in a molle compatible sheath. ✌

This is definitely my next purchased. I believe the blade shape is a sheepsfoot technically?

Thanks for the great review. Also, I appreciated the picture of the rusty detent on the Spydiechef. Now I understand why Spyderco recently upgraded it with a ceramic detent ball.

I take a dremel with a diamond bit and put a small sharpening choil on every spyderco i own lol.... Cant stand the no choil thing

Ordered one today living in Florida it’s a must have, the Bumblebee!

That spydie has a long effective cutting edge

Old vid I know but this is a sheepsfoot, which is also what you gave the history of, not a wharncliffe. They share the straight edge but are distinctly different and come from different histories.

we have a Calico too!!

How do you think the PM2 salt will compare to this for EDC? . Lc200n vs Magnacut? I can only get one knife for multipurpose. I would the consider crucarta pm2 but I am close to the coast and am not sure how the cruwear will hold up.

It's a great knife (I have the Leaf solid edge) and other than my SpydieChef It's more carried than my PM2 also!

It's my understanding that sailing knives have wharncliff blades because the sailors are cutting wet rope at night , and in storms , they were less likely to cut themselves .

I'd be way more on board with the Mardi Gras styling if they wrote "Spyderco", or stuck a logo on that black band focal point on the handle. Give that awkward gap shape a bit more purpose and echo the frn volcano styling of yore a bit more strongly.

Very thorough review

Been waiting for this review. Great job - I think i share all your opinions on this one, just can’t decide on the blade shape! I guess one can over think it maybe it’s just about personal preference at the end of the day?

I have been looking forward to this review! Seems like a better value than a spyderco shaman.

I thought a wharncliffe had a steep drop to an acute point like a Spyderco Yojimbo and a curve down to the edge like this Caribbean was a sheepsfoot??

Dang I hope i get to try lc200n or Vanax in my lifetime

solid review , good job!

I love spyderco, but damn, do they not understand what a sharpening choil is!!

Is that "croc" cheddar?

Ya man, dat a bamba clat, bad bwoy blade, cha! I bet it cut ja herb nicely. Good yacht, sailing knife

Love the final fantasy 7 music lol

I'm thinking you're part of some LC200N CABAL! Forcing me to buy some!

Hell yeah Nice Dogs 😆👌🏻

Interested in getting this one. Is there a significant difference between LC200N & 14c28n?

no mention of the fact that the spydiechef has had a ceramic detent ball for a long time now that does NOT rust, like the Caribbean?

Well done review.....🤜🏻

you have to make a sharpening choil for all spyderco's. or just deal with that or just send it to spyderco to sharpen it on there belt grinders. also 99% of the time the compression lock never closes and catches the first time. or it bounces off the stop pin and pops out. rather annoying lock feature.

I like the leaf blade version’s overall design. I’m really intrigued to get Lc200n, but that yellow/black color choice kills it for me. Where can I find the SpydieChef in stock?

Do you prefer that version or leaf shaped ?!!!

I require para 3 lw lc200n

Was this one enjoyable enough to stay in the collection?

I really like the blade shape. Wish they would adapt it to the PM2 line up. Thank's! 👍

mine came with a bad detent

Awesome. Something to watch on the train trip home.

I’d really like to get a knife in this steel, and I like this one and the spydiechef. I’m aware that they are meant for different purposes, but just looking at price alone is the chef a 30% better knife? Also I’ve read that the chef now has a ceramic detent ball, can you confirm or deny this?

function over form is a pro for me not a con ...this is a tool to be used .

Advanced Knife Bro asked Sal's people about Caribbean torx hardware and they are S.S. not Ti.

Not so excited for that dimensions, in that range for hard work i tend to prefere a fix blade knife.

I had a heck of a problem with the H1 “salt” metal. I dropped the blade and the tip literally bent into a U shape. It made me worry about the hardness of the blade.

Would love a SALT version of a PM2. Patiently waiting. Love my Caribbean though.

Just got 1 from campsaver for 20% off...$135.00 shipped. Thanks for review

Do you use this knife?

That's a sheepsfoot blade, not a wharncliffe.

LC200N AKA ZFINIT the best nitrogen steel around.

It’s like when your not making millions of passes through rope,your verbal reviews goes full steam ahead maybe causing tongue blisters instead of hand blisters🤣👍🏼 Enjoy them either way Love your grey dragon roaming the floors

Always hate the absence of a TIP!!

Dude how come you still haven't tested benchmade n680 steel? Thanks

Should i buy a sheepsfoot or leaf blade?

I realized something when thinking about the knives you have bought and other good value options, your missing a khukuri! have you checked out any of the Nepalese makers? excellent value for the quality.

I'd prefer an option for a different color, wire clip, and no liners.

Salt water rafting? What the hell is that?
