I have acquired many different types of carabiners over the years, so what makes one a specialty carabiner? There are many ways to answer that question. For example, a historian may plausibly argue that anything that is not a non-locking bent-rod oval carabiner is a specialization. I'm not going to define the term, as my categories are created primarily for the convenience of this web site. If I decide to list one here, then I've decided to show it on my web site and list it here, nothing more. The choice is sometimes arbitrary; for example, I called the Clou Bi a Miscellaneous Descender, but it could have been placed here.
