Does anyone have an update on this? This is one of my dream knives. I have the money set aside now.

Supposed to be this month

Wow - I've got to check out this site more.

I was lucky enough to catch a G-10 version in-stock at an online vendor yesterday morning, but I would, and will, definitely snag one in FRN as well. I wouldn't call myself a collector exactly, but it;s rare to find a knife that fits just right.

Thanks guys, I'll be following this one for a release date.

Was there ever a decision on color? Sorry if I missed it.

This was Sal's answer to the color question.

Looking forward to this. Will definitely get myself one. The Native was my first ever Spyderco.

Ive been waiting so long for this knife, im guna be really disappointed if they dont make a black frn one, probably wont evan buy it if its any other color.

The first one will be black FRN, AFAIK.

I couldn't wait any longer so I just bought the brown XHP native 4 from Knifecenter to hold me over haha.

You could always RIT dye any other color to make it black if color is a deal breaker. I'd be shocked though if its not made in black...

So is this "any color you want" like a Delica or Henry Ford's Model T "any color you want as long as it's black."?

Production. Replacing the current Native. It should be a staple for years to come. Sprint steel/colors down the road.

Replacing?It is more likely a lower cost option to the standard production model. Another addition to the Native platform similar to the options of the Manix 2 platform is my best conjecture.

I'm not talking about it replacing the Native5 in G10 sir.

I'm talking about this replacing the current iteration of the FRN Native with the classic swedge and FRN texture. This coming from Sal, not me.

Whats taking so long for this one???!?? I wish they released this before the CF version or at least at the same time.

Weekly bump until launch.

csisland · Aug 19, 2014

I really like lockbacks so I might be in for one plus I also like the blade shape. What is the expected price range on this one and did they mention what colors will be available?

Keep up the good work. I'm with you. I'd do a countdown if I knew when launch was.
