Native 5 XL

[rororo64]

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has heard if there's a larger Native 5 in the works. Ive recently had the chance to handle one and I liked everything about it(except the ridiculous mark up price the shop had), and I think it could use a little bit of a larger blade(maybe around 3.5-3.75 inches).

I would certainly buy a few. Maybe something like the Renegade.

Always liked the look of the Renegade.

I could've sworn there was some news from Sal awhile back about a bigger Native or the Renegade. I can't find the post, though, so perhaps it was a dream

This right here would make sense:

^Native Chief! That's what it was. There was a post by Sal about it a few months ago

Hi Zhyla,

It's still in prototyping. A ways off. The 3.5" Native "Shaman" is quite a bit different from the regular Native. The 4" "Chief" is more like th regular Native, but longer.

I could do without the false edge on top. A slight swedge would be nice, but not too much.

Wicked! Thanks kreole I read a little bit into that thread and it looks like there is going to be that large Native Chief and a bigger Native with a framelock sometime in the future. Can't wait to see prototype pictures of them.
