'''C217 Caribbean'''

"''One of the latest and most stylish additions to Spyderco’s growing Salt Series of knives, the Caribbean is unique in several ways. Its full-flat-ground, leaf-shaped blade is precision machined from LC200N-a nitrogen-beased martensitic steel that holds and edge extremely well and is completely rustproof. Available with either a PLainEdge or fully serrated SpyderEdge, the blade is housed in a vibrantly colored handle featuring scales crafted from layered black and yellow G-10. The intricately machined patteren on the scales not only creates a non-slip texture, it reveals the contrasting colors of the layers to create a stunning striped design. Skeletonized stainless steel liners nested within the scales anchor the knife’s high-strength Compression Lock mechanism, while a reversible titanium hourglass clip offers convenient left or right-side tip-up carry.''"
