$75 for a Spyderco

Thinking Native 5 FRN with S35VN is the best value. I already have two Delicas and a Dfly. Anything else you guys recommend?

Sounds good to me

If that is your cap then go for it. Otherwise save up and get the g10 version. It's one of my favorites.

"Best value"? Cara Cara 2 FRN for less than $25.

And the G-10 Cara Cara rocks too

I like your idea of the Native 5. Incredible value to set hands on some S35VN steel.

No brainer, Native. :thumbup:

Seems like there was G10 Manix2 available for $85 somewhere. Native sounds good too.

Got it in one.

The FRN Native 5 is a crazy excellent folding knife. I've only had mine for a week but nothing else fills my personal criteria better for the money and it is one of the best designed and built knives I've held at any price.

Tasman Salt SE. The serrated hawkbill is a perfect compliment to a plain edged knife if you're looking for maximum versatility and plan to carry both at the same time.

Get a Centofante 3. It is the best slicer I have owned due to its 2mm blade stock. I held off for years due to naysayers complaining about the riveted construction and "fragile" blade. I should have gone with my instincts years ago. If Spyderco ever releases a sprint with hap 40, zdp, or super blue I know a lot of people would give this amazing knife a chance and see how awesome it really is.

The Native 5 either FRN or G10 is a great value. Not a show knife but a great hard use EDC knife with S35V steel.

Yup. I agree partially. I'm not a fan of of the SE, but the Salt series is quite awesome!!

ThePeacent · Dec 29, 2015

Agree on the Pacific

This,^ in SE, is correct.

I love the Native 2 LW, but the Native 5 G10 feels wrong. Maybe the FRN feels better.

Barman suggested that I get a native like two years ago. But I wasn't digging the g10 version at the time. Really love this frn version!
