This Caribbean model has a sheepsfoot blade with a plain cutting edge.
The Caribbean is a unique and stylish addition to Spyderco's Salt Series of knives. Its precision machined LC200N steel blade provides a resilient cutting edge and is completely rust proof. Vibrant black/yellow G-10 scales offer a non-slip grip with an intricate layered pattern. The Caribbean is equipped with the high-strength Compression Lock mechanism and a reversible titanium pocket clip for convenient and secure use.
Features:
LC200N steel for a rustproof blade with heightened edge retention.
Layered G-10 scales offer excellent grip security in all conditions.
Reversible titanium hourglass clip allows left or right side tip-up pocket carry.
Overall, this is a really great knife. It opens smoothly, and its comfortable in hand. Its basically bombproof in terms of resisting the elements. I put a 17 degree mirror edge on mine, and its SCARY sharp. Lc200n is really easy to sharpen, and it takes a superb edge. My only complaint is the edge near the tip hits the lanyard tube (I think), because there is not a flat spot in that location. Ive had mine for 6 months, and its still going strong!
Bad detent (it's not just mine) and bad lanyard placement

I got this knife a while ago, and in 15 minutes the blade was chipped w/o cutting anything. How you ask? The lanyard tube hit the blade. I also noticed the detent was fairly soft, so I called bhq, and the replaced it like champs. They shipped out a new one, and the detent was still bad (I thought maybe it need to break in), and the blade hit the tube again. I sent it to my sharpening guy to take out the massive chip in the blade, and the dumb tube. It came back sans lanyard tube, with a still very soft detent. I called spyderco a couple of times, and they gave me lip for taking it apart. Something tells me they would not have fixed it, just called good, claiming it to be within spec, and shipped back without doing anything. I am not too happy with them.
Perfect for rusty situations

I bought this knife because my job caused my knives to develop surface rust generally within the day. I have not been disappointed. The blade holds an edge extremely well. The handle is comfortable, and the pattern gives you a great grip. The yellow isn't too overpowering either. It doesn't have the point of other blade styles, but it does have enough of one for work. I would recommend this knife to anyone.

This knife took a very long time to be released but it was well worth the wait. I absolutely love the Caribbean and the LC200N blafesteel and the rust proof liners and hardware are definitely going to be useful for rust prone situations. I have attached a lanyard with a bead on it and it is my favorite pack knife. I have been reluctant to carry it as an EDC just because it is pretty large. However, the times when I did EDC it wasn't bad at all. I highly recommend this knife. Perfect grip with the textured G-10 scales and a good bit of jimping on the spine to get a great and solid purchase on the knife. I also highly recommend BladeHQ as a place to purchase your knives.
