So the Hawkbill Grail thread got me thinking.
Theres a lot of us who missed out on the Superhawk, but like the idea of a large compression lock hawkbill knife.
Theres also a lot of us who missed out on the Spyderhawk but want a large salt hawkbill.
Why not use the caribbean?
Giving it a quick look it seems like you could get a hawkbill blade to fit in there. Might have to have the tip come down past the lanyard tube a bit.
The Caribbean is a large salt series knife that most people like. A hawkbill blade option would be amazing.
What do you guys think?

Re: Caribbean Hawkbill? Do you want one?
I prefer narrower handles as I have small hands, and the yellow and black is a little loud for my tastes, but I would absolutely buy one if they made a hawkbill.

I've never actually handled a Caribbean, I might love it.

I already have 2 Caribbeans, plan to get more ( MagnaCut lightweight, I'm looking at you
) and I would definitely buy a hawkbill!

I think it would be a great addition to the Caribbean lineup.

Didn’t vote.
I think it’s more likely I’ll find a used SuperHawk before Spyderco approves a Caribbean Hawkbill’s high production costs.
And, while I love my Caribbean Leaf, I would not, as a SuperLeaf owner, regard the SuperHawk as too big a step down.

Thats what I want, I had just assumed they would probably never come back. But in the other thread sal is batting around the idea of an frn version.
Frankly I would like to see any large hawkbill in the catalog.
