Spyderco Caribbean Sheepsfoot Folder
Item #: SPC217GPSF
$244.95
The Caribbean knives have a number of distinguishing characteristics that separate them from the other Salt Series folders, yet still make them ideal cutting tools for use in and around the water. The blades of these knives are crafted from LC200N, a nitrogen and chromium-rich alloy that achieves its hardness through a conventional heat-treatment process, yet offers incredible corrosion resistance and toughness. Their lightweight, open-backed handles feature special G-10 scales with alternating colored layers. The outside surfaces are painstakingly machined to create a ribbed pattern that offers a non-slip texture and reveals the contrasting color of the underlying layer. The inner side of the scales is also machined to accept the nested LC200N rustproof liners that provide impressive structural strength and form the foundation of the knife's patented Compression Lock™ mechanism. To ensure convenient carry and instant access, all Caribbean Salts feature a reversible titanium hourglass pocket clip that supports left or right-side tip-up carry and a lined lanyard hole for the easy attachment of safety lines, lanyards, or fobs.
This version of the Caribbean features the traditional sheepsfoot blade profile often favored by mariners. Full-flat ground for exceptional edge geometry and low-friction cutting performance and has a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ for deft, ambidextrous, one-handed opening.
The blade steel has a hardness of 58-60 Rc. Available with either a PlainEdge or fully serrated SpyderEdge. The blade measures 3-3/4" and the closed length is 4-3/4". Weighs 4.2 oz. Made in Taiwan. Suggested Retail $326.00.

Spyderco
In 1981, Spyderco ventured into the world of knife making by introducing their first folding knife, the C01 Worker. This knife was the first in the industry to feature a round hole in the blade design that allowed for fast, one-hand opening, now the company’s trademark, and the first to feature a pocket clip. The trademarked round hole is the most recognizable feature of a Spyderco knife and it facilitates the easy opening and closing of these knives with one hand while also offering convenient access and maximum control while opening as well as accommodating large, small or gloved hands.
Spyderco’s recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomically functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. Spyderco’s knives may look unusual, but they will never be called unusable or undependable. When you purchase a Spyderco knife, you are buying a high quality reliable cutting tool that was designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort.
