Caribbean is here, many thanks!!

What a perfect knife for what I am needing it for. Absolutely perfect. I can’t thank all of you guys enough for your valuable input to help me make the right decision. I feel like a Saltwater Wyatt Earp now with the Caribbean in one pocket and the Dragonfly Salt SE in the other :D

Congrats! It is a great all around knife. I have the sheepsfoot PE version and I love it. I'm very tempted to get the leaf blade in SE.

Great knife. Use it hard.

I like the yellow/black G10. It is very different, unmistakable in fact.

I had alot of trouble at first deciding between sheepsfoot/leaf. I opted for the leaf and the PE because I am lucky enough to have an autonomy also. These H1/LC200N are so cool. I wish I had found them sooner.

My father passed unexpectedly less than a year ago and I inherited his knife collection. Quality folders were always our thing. There are so many memories with his knives it made me start collecting again to add to our collection. Every year we would go to a few gun/knife shows since I was a kid and he would always help me pick a good one. They are cherished memories. I have his things and a few of the folders on my mantle.

Very nice! I've been tempted many times by the Caribbean. I almost bought one, but then went for the Autonomy 2 instead (which is basically an auto version of the Caribbean.)

Right?

It's as close to perfect as any work folder I have used.

I carried it half the day today at work. Its so light I almost forget I have it. I didn’t have anything too trying for it just routine stuff but I am anxious to see how it does when the bigger tasks come up.

Nice. Not too shabby on the whisky choice, either.

Ha, it was Dads favorite so I leave some out for him. Scotch hits me hard, more of a rum/beer guy.

Thank you very much. The knife collection has been a pleasant thing to appreciate and focus on during some tough days. I just open up the cabinet and see so many memories there, not just knives. Its a really cool thing.
