Spyderco Caribbean Leaf Folder
Item #: SPC217GP
$244.95
The Caribbean folder is part of Spyderco's growing Salt Series of knives. Unique from other knives in the line, the full-flat ground leaf-shaped blade is precision machined from LC200N. This state-of-the-art nitrogen-based alloy holds an edge extremely well, is completely rustproof and is actually used by NASA for the ball bearings used in aerospace applications. The blade is housed in a vibrantly colored handle featuring scales crafted from layered black and yellow G-10. The intricately machined pattern on the scales not only creates a non-slip texture, it also reveals the contrasting colors of the layers to create a stunning striped design. Skeletonized stainless steel liners nested within the scales anchor the knife's high-strength Compression Lock mechanism, while the reversible titanium hourglass clip offers convenient left or right-side tip-up carry.
The blade steel has a hardness of 58-60 Rc. Available with a PlainEdge. The blade measures 3-5/8" 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.
