Hi Everone,

Can you post a photo of Lil' Native in jeans 5th pocket? Would be nice with it's wire clip and I'd like to see one with Lynch clip as well.
 
I’ll post some later today, I was going to post to ask folks to show their wire clip alternatives on their Lil’ Natives as well lol. 😎👍
 
Sorry! Forgot.... Jeans are uhhh J Crew? I dunno man, you know how it is... For your viewing pleasure... Lil Native M4 wire clip Lil Native s30v blackout clip and Para 3 for reference. Nah, she don't fit. IMG_4676.jpg

Lil Native is a top 3 rotation for me - it's the only knaf I own multiples of. Fidget game like whuuuut and it's agreat blend of thin and tough geometry. And it barley prints.Good times all around.
 
I just received a gift from my favorite 3rd party manufacturer - Ripp's Garage Tech has these super rad replacement clips for the lil native wire clip:

Interesting observation - I've collected a few lil natives now (perfect city carry) and I noticed the s30V model seems more agile and 'slicey' (DLC is s30v in the middle, left and right are M4 and REX45 models) It looks to me like the s30v is a thinner blade steel, or it could be optics. I thought it was interesting - the action is the same on all 3. What do you think? (Beautiful Micarta scales also by Ripp's)

The black blade looks a a hair thinner. Nice collection by the way. I noticed that they fit in your pocket only angular, right? I'm thinking if both ends of the scales were sanded down about 3-4mm on each sides the knife would fit in the 5th pocket.
 
Well it can be flush (5th pockets seem to vary in size from brand to brand) but even if it rides flush, as soon as you jog or sit, it wants to ride up. I would imagine that would help, but it also may be the nature of the 5th pocket and where it falls relative to your anatomy. (thanks by the way, lil native is the only knife I have multiples of.) it’s just so useful, so well ground (geometry) and takes up no space in pocket. Peel ply g10 is so great on it as well, it really is solid in my (size Large) hands. If I’m going to work, I usually have 2 additional blades with me but most of my day to day personal tasks, I grab the lil native. Fidget factor is equally important to me so it’s a no brainer. I haven’t taken the Ripps clip out much but it seems to hold a little tighter. I will report back.
 
]personally it wouldn’t be worth it as it’s on the border of ‘too small’ already in my hand - I carry it in my main pocket most of the time tbh lol
