my ultimate Spydie....

Outlaw_Dogboy · Apr 21, 1999

..would be a Native configuration, 4 inch blade, black micarta handle, with either CPM440V or one of the 'high speed' tool steels (higher carbon/lower chromium, that type). I LOVE my Zytel Native!

OH, and a Rolling Lock, of course....

That would be one heck of a knife. Luckily the BF Native is gonna have that 440V and be somewhat closer to what you were saying. I could easily go for that "ultimate" Native.

Yeah, I can't wait to get my BF Native. If they DON'T sell well (although I can't imagine why not), I will probably try to get a second one. Well, unless Sal sees this thread and suddenly decides that a bigger Native ain't such a bad idea. Well, actually, I would probably still get the second BF Native anyway!

What a knife!

O_D - We do have a design for a G10 handle 4" blade Native. Hope to have a "Concept Model" at the Blade Show for opinions. Also a smaller one. Stubby thing.

Sal, YOU ARE DA MAN!!

So now you're sure to get _at_least_ one more knife buy out of me! Sometimes, I wish I had never found Spyderco (well, and Benchmade, too, to be honest). But Spydies are definitely leading the way on my list of MUST HAVES!

AND, I just realized a couple of days ago that the new Wayne Goddard LtWt with plain edge should be coming out soon, if that actually became a reality. I'm going to have to start selling some of my other hobbies to support my knife habit.

LOVE THAT NATIVE!

I have to agree. I've had my Native now for a month and it is constantly with me.
It is extremely sharp, cuts well and sits well. I think I'll get another...maybe two!

I would definitely take a four inch Native with G10. Sal, does that mean you'll upgrade the steel as well?

OD, the BF Native will eventually move (I think). Better go ahead and order two. I did.

Sal, can I give my opinion twice, once now and once at BLADE?

My present opinion would be BUILD it. BLADE is too far away.

My two little Euro cents...

I would like to own a Wegner Junior with ATS34 blade !

I think the Wegner Junior is really a State Of the Art !

(Sorry I am in love.....)

Doesn't the Wegner Jr. have an ATS-34 blade?

I enjoy the reviews that you and M. Perrin post, Nemo.
