Native 5 - the perfect pocket knife?

May be Native5 is not perfect, but so far I didn't find anything better. I carry them almost since they came out. It was black G10 S35Vn first. Then I put desert Ironwood scales, then it was 2013 Forum Native5 ( I love these dark green scales). I put a lot of miles on this knife. Currently most of the time I carry Ti Fluted. This is probably the best knife out of entire family. S35Vn is sufficient for my current needs. Scales are great looking, great grip and fantastic ergos. Countered scales are like icing on the cake. My hand loves them. The knife fit in my hand like a glove.
I would love to see more sprints of Native5 in PE.

The Ti Fluted is a dream of mine...for now. I cant say enough about the Native and everyone has already said it best.
Just wanna drop some love for my G10 Native 5. Its a keeper for life.
 
I was soooo disappointed when Spyderco decided not to produce (at least that's what I heard) the fluted cf/S90V Native 5 lightweight. Thought I was done with expensive folders, but an N5, in that configuration, that's about the ultimate for me. Sal, if you are reading this thread, please reconsider...
 
I love every Native variation I've had. Just wish the Native 5 LW had a wire clip. I don't think I'd change anything else.

I agree with the wire clip.
I have a feeling the Native 5 is going to be my favorite Spyderco. The Design is just so dead-on, opened and closed!!

Another vote for a wire clip, or at least the standard Spyderco clip, so aftermarket clips would fit.

I prefer solid clip.

Me, too. I actually dislike wire clips. I find them uncomfortable during use, among other things.

Perhaps there could be a way developed for people who like wire clips to be able to switch out their other clips, without Spyderco switching everything over to wire clips. TBH, if Spyderco completely switched over to wire clips, I probably wouldn't buy anymore Spydies (I have a LOT of Spydies already, anyway).

I don't like the wire clip at all. It bestows a flea market gas station bucket o' knives look to a knife. Not an insult to anyone that likes the wire. I just think it would be a radical change to a long time classic model.
 
My absolute favorite clip is the short ti clip made by Casey Lynch, but it won't fit on the N5 LW. It's awesome on a Para 2, though.
 
Just want to throw in that I love the wire clip on my dragonfly due to its low profile, meaning I can carry it in the office without getting weird looks. Love the solid clip as well, would like to see a future iteration of a low pro solid clip.
