My man. People think I'm high when I talk about how great the Caribbean is. Easily my favorite Spyderco currently. Great lock, great sized handle, super light for it's size, and that utterly stainless steel. I can't say it's the best looking knife ever, but functionally speaking with it's blade and handle size to weight ratio- it wins.
this knife definitely fucks, thats for sure
My favorite daily carry as well. It’s *almost* made me not want a Spydiechef. Almost. 😀
RIT dye the handles, mine looks better green to me, and I've also seen a blue one on IG somewhere.
@@CedricAda this knife is so ugly, you dont feel bad putting it to work, thats for sure
How do you get the action so smooth? If I loose the pivot on mine there's blade play...
Very nice choice. Great video Pete
"Bearings leaves the race" that's so engineering 😂
Just now in 2023 discovering your informative and entertaining videos. This one made me think, but not for long. I’m old and old school. I could do with any one of many knives I own, but one stands out as most versatile, and time tested. Yes, my Buck 110 drop point in S30V. It is a grandfather’s knife and I’m a grandfather. And like my Buck, I was born and shaped in Idaho.
The Caribbean quickly became one of my favorites. It’s a great design overall, I’d really like to see a smaller version as well.
I hope no one tries to carry kephart internally after this video
The Caribbean grows on you over time
Way to go mate! Cheers. Caribbean is great, almost maintanence free, holds its edge great, cut through fish spine and ribs a lot, leather stroping and back to razor sharp in a few minutes
Onion span? You need to try some big sweet Vidalia onions. Damn near need a Bowie knife to span some of those. Yummmm.
Would’ve been my pick!
After having done a number of practical “one knife challenges” i would say that the Caribbean is just about optimal.
I bought a military because it had many similarities is overall function and form. Had I known about this knife earlier i may have picked that up instead. Always liked the tenacious and the Caribbean comes across as a larger working man’s tenacious that is impervious to the elements. Overall a great knife.
Carrying that knife right now. Despite getting a couple 1000+ knives this year, this knife sticks out for my 2018 purchases.
If I was being marooned on a desert island , I’d keep the Bark River as it’s tough, adaptable,sharpenable and great for every survival task, but if I was going to continue my life, as is, I’d have to keep a sub 3" slip joint, so it’d be either an Enzo PK70 or my JE Made Lanny’s Clip. However, it should be my SAK Pioneer X.
Wow, just wow. I was sitting here thinking "spyderco Spydiechef" all day every day. Getting near the end, Chef is still on the table......then BOOM! Shut the bastard door! Its gone! Awesome man, ive got the Caribbean Warncliff saved to buy next month lol. Great video, total plot twist, the ugly ducking wins. What's not to like :-)
I bought the Caribbean last month to use on my boat. Great for everything and the look grows on you because it’s different. Like your reviews. Thanks.
Did not expect anything to dethrone the Spydiechef in your book!
I like the chef more, but practically speaking the caribbeans probably a little more broadly functional
What about a SpydieChef with a Compression Lock? Would that give the SpydieChef the win?
Changed my Benchmade Anthem over to bronze washers, I'd pick that if I only got one knife. Runner up would be my Smoke TM1. M390 on both, very well balanced steel, both easy to carry and a useful blade shape. Anthem is just a very simple construction and I have a soft spot for integrals, and while the Smoke is probably my actual favorite knife, it is just a little less convenient to open immediately if you want to actually cut something.
Love the Spidey chief overall design
When this video started. Mine was the Caribbean as well. I love that knife.
I loved that fixed blade, I want one now, beautiful blade shape
The Carribean has ended my search for the ultimate folding
Cool video Pete. As usual I'll give my favorite bits of the video. I'm working on my video right now.
Cool Bits:
- Admitting you are growing out of steel snobbery
- The way you pronounce “baton”
- Unpressed Birdshot IV shirt
- Slick Glasses (I genuinely do like them. I just started wearing glasses myself)
- Buck Marksman appearance. I've never seen it.
- Final choice of the Spyderco Carribean even though most people thought you would choose the Spydiechef
- Tagging and shouting my channel
Awesome that you tagged EDCC. Good choice too, the Caribbean is a home run!
I think your top choice IS a beautiful knife. The high visibility stripes are functional. If you drop your knife then you should be able to find it, and form follows function therefor it is beautiful.
It is for this very reason that painted my only EDC knife (a small cheap no name folder) bright pink. I call it Anti-Theft Pink and it's not offensive, it's useful.
IMO for edc out of cold steels broken skull is better: takes less real estate in your pocker, larger blade, cheaper
Been carrying the Carribean for a few months as my backup/food knife. It's pretty awesome, especially if you get a little RIT dye and fix the color of the scales. My Caribbean is a nice Green color now.
Only one knife? Sebenza. Simple as that.
It makes no compromises, has no weaknesses, will do everything a folding knife should be expected to do, and it'll do it everyday for decades, probably a lifetime and some of your kid's too.
To each their own but for me, Benchmade Contego in M390. Almost 4” but carries nicely, strong axis lock, good all around camp knife and cook prep slicer. Excellent defensive knife and survival knife plus the strong and fast axis lock, did I mention the axis lock?
The Marksmen is probably one of my favorite and most underrated knives Ive had . Kinda flew under the radar for awhile . I would love if they did a micarta handle version with m390 and the Tanto shape . As far as a one carry for all id probably go with my benchmade mini grip or para 3 , both with custom scales.
I would complain about your final choice but I'm in the middle of an epileptic seizure. Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If it was the Leafshape i would Agree, but man that Mako is good!
Onion span is the ultimate criteria in normal times but unfortunately we don't live in normal times. This video is a FAIL because the correct answer is the Spyderco Advocate. Only the Spyderco Advocate guarantees victory in the Insect Wars and if we lose the Insect Wars then nothing else matters does it?
also you can use it as a base for a souless drone. truth bombZ
I'm going to have to get a Caribbean.... I wanted it, then I didn't want it, now I want it again... you seem 2 be fond of it and I've heard others say good things, so guess it's time to go to the Caribbean
I am also enamored with the Buck Marksman.
was the Spyderco "Waterway" available when you made this video? Also I have always been FASCINATED with your great Country but for the life of me it's also one of the most DANGEROUS countries when you consider all the creatures you have that can absolutely KILL YOU DEAD from crocks to venomous snakes to many other things and for that reason alone you should be able to carry any form of knife or firearm with you anytime you want to and in any location you are at. IMHO THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT REVIEW SIR
Great video. Thanks again 😎👍
Very interesting choice; honestly I have never held one of these knives, nor seen too much info about them overall. Yes, the design of that handle seems to have been a bad joke conceived while drunk, *but* an all-around useful, solid knife is what it is and by your recommendation and some of the others in comments, I may have to give this eyesore a go on camping trips.
Very interesting exercise, choices, and rationales, Pete. For me it would have been an easy choice and a very short video - Mora Kansbol. Relatively small and utilitarian-looking, so it won't freak people out, but big enough to do most normal cutting tasks, lots of carry options (though I don't recommend internally...especially with the multi-mount sheath system), ultra-lightweight, super-ergonomic, virtually indestructible, no moving parts, stain resistant so low-maintenance, easy to sharpen, and did I mention it cuts things really, really well?
One knife to rule them all, and in the darkness slice them!
Just like LOTR...it's a fantasy!
Always love the discussion though😆
Good luck cleaning a fish with that Caribbean
What I recommend is an iron...
Everything/everyday means using the knife. Regardless of the steel a knife, any knife, will need to be sharpened. Steel 'porn' is a good way to get people to buy more knives. So the ability to maintain an edge and be kept up in the field is paramount to the usefulness of any knife. Thanks for the review.
Caribbean all the way
I agree with your choice. I actually like my Salt 2. But the Caribbean is on my wish list.
Drop point Caribbean is awesome. Ritt dyed my handle scales blue to get rid of the yellow g10.
How did it come out? I've been debating getting one and doing the exact same thing
EDC with Aaron looks great. Turned out so well I’ve since dyed 4 or 5 more knives.
Haha, when the knife you predicted would win gets kicked second...
Love the Gilbert shirt my man! I been thinking of grabbing one mtself. I have a LTK Luv Them Knives shirt, but haven't gotten a Birdshot shirt yet. When ya going to make a Cedrick shirt for all us steel geeks?
Love that Creely also. Damn fine looking knife.
Question, if you could pick any steel to be on your all time favorite knife, what would it be? You can pick 2 if you want..one for a folder, one for a fixed blade. Just curious.
Great video! Thank you for all the interesting content.
Interesting topic. My thoughts: Those knives are too nice and too expensive to be used for everything. I'd say everything means it would also be substituting a cheap craft knife. I also think edge retention is overrated in this regard. Better to have an edge that is easy to touch up and repair with a pocket stone to have it at peak performance before every task. 420HC, 12c27, 440c, 4116, AUD-8 and a few others should offer this and adequate corrosion resistance, while keeping the price down. Folders are also very uncomfortable to work with as soon as you have to put som power into your cuts. Like when working with wood.
I would personally recommend the Buck 673 or 679 fixed blades. Excellent price point, fixed blade, full tang, pocketable and easy on the hands. I paid around 18 usd for mine.
If I had to choose one knife it would be the skrama. Love doing my bushwork with it.
Great choice, now lets see a video with you doing everything with it so the nonbelievers can see how tough this knife really is.
Loving the Bird t shirt! And that Caribbean. Had to send mine back unfortunately as someone had been messing with it by the looks of things..but I will own another soon!
I'm seeing this super late, but I am just on a one knife for all time kick, and I thought this was an excellent video...Most of your content is great, but this one was especially enjoyable. I appreciate how much thought clearly went into your decision. This one is going in my favorites list.
"carry internally" thats how ya have to get around those pesky conniving laws
The god knife!🤣🤣
If I had to choose one knife for absolutely everything, I'd pick the Ka-Bar Becker BK2. It won't hold an edge as long as a more premium steel, but you can baton wood, cut down a tree or even pry with it without having to worry too much about killing it and it's relatively small, and therefore lighter, then many fixed blades that are meant for very hard use. I wouldn't take a folder or a harder steel on a show like Alone for fear of it breaking, but I'd definitely take the BK2.
I understand the "tank-like" performance of the Becker, but a SAK is then also required for everything else that the BK2 does not do well. This is not to down-play the nature of "over-built" knives...I like them, they have their place, but a small, thin bladed knife knife is the perfect companion to a Becker. But overall, Bob, I agree with you for bush, survival usage.
I had you figured pretty good but was surprised when one I considered would be in your top 3 caught the axe. Your growing as a person pete good on you 🤣
Loved the selection process!
Great choice of Every Day City Carry for the next tag. Rai does some slick editing
Hahahaha. "Bearings, this is where this one leaves the race" Did you even notice you did that.
Lionsteel M-4? M-390. Can hide But not the way you want to hide your 4V Kephart? Not in your “prison wallet”!!!
I just did not understand how you didn’t put Benchmade Puukko/Leuku!
Bearing race. Phenomenal unintended pun
Great video. 4 years ago! I'm a little late.
Personally, I would want a knife with a point, and I think if it's your one knife, you would be maintaining it enough to not have to worry about rust, but that's just my opinion. My one knife would be my Hinderer eklipse
I like small fixed blades for "one knife for everything" purposes. I love my Becker BK16 and Lionsteel M5, there's the Lionsteel M4, Bark River Bravo 1LT, etc etc. It's a lot easier to do more tasks with a knife that's too big than one that's too small. At least in my "I forgot all my other knives when I went hiking/camping" moments. Even my best folders leave me wanting a decent fixed blade
@@LubberKing Not in your opinion, they are in mine
@@LubberKing Nope 😊
That seals the deal... Is Christmas here yet?
Your the best nerd ever! Steel nerds ftw!
This has swiss army knife written all over it.
Love the Caribbean but I wish it came with different scale options. I think the bumble bee look doesnt really work.
Kephart four and a half.
There is a Skyrim TH-camr who mispronounces words in every video as long-standing troll. The epic nate
Cold Steel Master Hunter in V3 gets my vote for a reasonably priced entry.
Gotta be long enough to prepare food, like thick french bred, cut a roast well, trim carrots, small enough to carry well, etc. Very hard decision...
I had a hunch on this one. Nice video.
Noooo, I have been looking at the exact same knife. Now I need to spend some more money. haha
Greetings from Canada. Love your videos even if I don't agree always.
I guessed the final three but the Caribbean was a bit of a surprise as the last knife standing.
If you did this video again would the waterway win. Seems like a blend of the mako and Caribbean to me
Much fun. Thanks.
Great choice
Was honestly surprised when you picked the Caribbean over the chef
Love the pick
Hmmm...One knife for everything....my everything includes self-defence and battoning to get at dry wood over onion cutting so I'm sticking with my Fallkniven A1!
Follow! Now I need a Caribbean.
Bear 🐻 Grylls ultimate survival knife %90 of the time it works %60 of the time.
60% of the time it works every time
Its made with bits of real Grylls.
That doesnt make sense
Hollow ground ftw.
What if they made apm2 in the same steel as the Caribbean?
How about I send you my pm2 from the caribbean and you send me that caribbean?
Pete, please send me an email informing me which knife won out. I could not make it through the entire video - as, for some reason, I suffered an epileptic seizure!
Each one I guessed fell but, to a folder.
Oh, the humanity
we call internal carry ZAP carry here in the states
Rex 45 cut test please
Send him a Rex45 knife then.
@@Luke-mz5zt trying to
American lawman or recon 1
Spyderco Police 4....slim but with enought blade or lionsteel tispine. I'm wating to test maserin nimrod.
I’m still definitely a steel snob won’t buy anything in a steel worse then vg10 edge retention wise unless it’s a budget knife
The winner doesn't even have a point, literally and figuratively. Cold steel lawman all day.
High quality yacht muzak
Love when he uses Daft Punk
One knife for everything(folding knife)? One knife on lonelly island? Benchmade griptilian 551-1! Field proven quality!
Fallkniven F1 pro in 3G would b my choice
You just sold a bunch of spyderco Caribbean knives
have u seen some of the RIT dyed Carribean? could be a cool project
yeah saw a cool dark red one somewhere, I was thinkin of going blue on this one
