I no longer even WANT a longer NATIVE...Phbbbblttt!

boo..
i still would whip the credit card out for a larger/longer native in G10 & S30V. jeez, it would be a no-brainer. i sure hope spyderco has something similar in the works. i love the manix (their best knife to date IMO), but even the best designs can use a little swedginess.

Garlic, that's why I went for the Endura. Oh, the Native would be BETTER, but my dead horse is not responding to his beating.
The Endura at least has a wedge grind and not hollow like the Police.
But...ahh....a big Native.
STOP IT! YOU CAN'T HAVE ONE!

:grumpy: well, actually, the native could be classified as a saber grind given its swedge job. the manix shares its leafy shape, but minus that wicked swedge. me want that wicked swedge + that pronounced choil. the endura lacks choil for my tastes. the manix has a handle that's virtually unimprovable (!), but as far as blade shape, i could use just a little more sexiness, achievable by any semblance of a swedge. a big native would achieve just that.Ming65 said:

I just heard of an upcoming small Manix, this might be more like a big native (except for the aforementioned blade sexiness of course).
I'm really liking my new Native III at the moment. It's only 1-2mm bigger than the regular Native but it feels more than that, especially with the fat handles.

i have a reg native in s30v, & i rather like the little bugger. however, i personally have no idea why spyderco CANNOT SEE THAT SALES WOULD INCREASE if they offered a LARGE 4" native in g10/s30v. for some reaon i can't really stand the aura of cheapness FRN tends to give a knife, i'd pay extra for g10; it's just a personal preference thing.Ming65 said:
