CRKT Natural?

Anybody have one? Like it? Hate it? (Why didn't they put a thumb groove on it like on the Kaspar?)

It's decent. General construction and f&f is a tad better than the average CRKT.
Very attractive. Mine is black micarta, jeweled bolsters and clip, fairly nice file work. Nice details at this price point.
So far the opening seems a little stiff, but once you get it going it pops out with authority. Lock up is good.
Tad heavy.

Kinda what I was thinking. Am wondering if I should try to move the thumb stud to the next hole or try to cut a thumb groove in the scale, as was done on the crawford/kaspar /

It's an attractive knife, but doesn't really get me. Over time I've come to dislike knives with very shaped/formed handles, such as the Natural's. That type of handle forces you into using less finger positions of retention. You basically have only a few ways to grab the handle. A handle such as found on most Moras basically provides the whole handle for however you want to grab it.

Have the bone model. Like the feel and build. I would think the similarities with the C/k are due to the input from C - Crawford, not Kasper. Look at the Crawford custom knive and you see alot of other similarities to his CRKT knives, since they are based on his designs.
