... I must admit that the more I am looking at (== YT reviews) the Caribbean, the more I like it. The availability is spotty around here, but it can be found ...
I appreciate (I really do!) the discussion on Manix. As I said, it is a great knife, just not something I am putting high on the list here. Pinned construction is a minus point exactly because of cleaning the knife up if/when necessary - even though if I need to clean it from the blood, then something went horribly wrong and a clean pivot is most likely not my main concern :D
I hear you guys on the stretch. I actually think I can work with semi-stainless blade, so I don't feel 'limited' by lack of some higher end stainless offering (though I would not say to to MagnaCut - just for the record

Thanks for the feedback on the Dallara 3 - it is strange, but when looking at what can be found on YT about it, it is like the knife was only released in one limited batch.
It is a very good point about simply getting a knife that gives me joy - indeed, it is not going to encounter any prolonged hard use. And in this category it is right now Schempp bowie followed by the Caribbean.
