Do you think that the the carribean would also benefit from the LW treatment? Having owned a Para3, I can see why the design went that way, but without having a carribean to handle yet, I'm wondering if I should maybe slow my roll a little on it, in case we see more LW knives in LC200N over the next year? Of course the Para had more time on the market...
Thoughts, ideas?
 
No LW treatment neccesary for me,the Caribbean is a fantastic knife!i carried a PM2 mostly but the Caribbean is now my favorit knife,great ergo's,cutting/slicing and this steel stays sharp a long time!slight stropping is more than enough to keep it in shape.as long as there is no PM2 LC200N this is the knife to go for me.so,for me keep it as is!
 
Thanks Sal, I've got an odd work requirement, and I'm loving what you are doing with the salt series knives, so sheepsfoot Caribbean will likely find its way to me before too long. I know you guys have a lot of irons in the fire, love that you take time to let us know which things are not planned as well as the things that are.
 
I anticipate there will be enough lightweight models that eventually get the LC200N treatment that the Caribbean won't need it. The Caribbean is really excellent as is, and it is surprisingly very light for its size. Plus, the color contrasts really pops with it, and the black ridges provide some of the best traction I've encountered for wet conditions. OP, if you like LC200N I think the Caribbean is a "must-have" and you likely will not be disappointed.

I think it will work for me. Unfortunately I was really hoping I'd love the para3, but it never got pocket time. Between a work requirement and all my other uses being around salt, I just didn't want to carry it, but I did fall in love with the compression lock. The Caribbean will get pocket time, but I'm looking at it being about a 10hr knife for me, So not an impulse buy.
Anyone do any filleting with one? I know it won't be as good as a flexible blade, but is it thin enough grind to not totally hack the job? (having memories of trying to fillet a rainbow with a mora)
