After handling both I'd say Carrib. Spydiechef was nice but nowhere near as ambidextrous, I greatly preferred the control the thumb ramp gave it, and overall it just felt more comfortable to use. Chef would be great if I wanted a dedicated knife for processing food on a cutting board or other flat surface, but the Carrib is just too well rounded to pass up.

WHOAView attachment 1052698 View attachment 1052699 And just received the Caribbean. Both blades are amazing. Can’t go wrong with either so the answer is get both.
Graphite gray dye job and MXG deep carry clip.
Suddenly I have a newfound desire to own a Caribbean ...
I’ve had one Chef and played with a few others. All had lock stick from mild to pretty bad. It was also a little harder to flick until you really get used to it. Other than that I loved it. I’ll probably try the Caribbean before I try another Spydiechef.
