NIB Native IV: SOLD

add 5 for shipping, I'll eat the fees.

Here are the specs pulled off of the spyderco website.

length overall 7" (178mm)
blade length 3 1/16" (78 mm)
blade steel VG-10
length closed 3 15/16" (100 mm)
cutting edge 2 1/2" (64 mm)
weight 3 1/8oz (89g)
hole diameter 15/32" (12 mm)
blade thickness 1/8" (3 mm)
handle material Carbon Fiber

"The Spyderco Native Model is taking on a notable life. Starting out as a folder engineered for the human hand, the model continues evolving with newer materials and blade steels. The Native4 is all about ergonomics like its predecessor but comes with a carbon fiber handle, flat ground VG-10 blade and a four-way ambidextrous pocket clip. What positions the Native as a winner in ergonomic measurement is its two finger indents. The first, closest to the blade, positions the index finger for choking up and controlling the cutting edge. The second indent holds the middle section of your hand on the handle so it cuts/handles like a high-performance sports car - smooth, controlled, effortlessly. The spear-point shaped blade is VG-10, flat-ground and available in a PlainEdge with a weight reducing swedge grind at the spine. The carbon fiber handle houses full skeletonized internal liners and a mid-positioned backlock."


And here are the pics as requested. Sorry for the 3 megapixels. It's all I have right now :(. Someone asked me earlier if there were circles near the blade from opening and closing, there is not any. I tried to get a picture to show it, but its not very good quality. Anyway, don't make me throw this up on evilbay, because I will....don't tempt me forumites....don't tempt me....

Alright, 1 more drop here. This is to avoid the hassle and restocking fees of sending it back to the original seller.

Don't miss this opportunity as I will be removing this tomorrow. You will not find a better deal on this knife NIB.
 
Whats wrong with it?

nothing. why do you ask so suspiciously? I bought it from a website for a decent price, got it, opened it a few times, didn't like it. So instead of waiting to get my credit card credited and go through the hassle of calling to get a rma number, I would rather bump my trade rating on this site and give this community a hell of a deal.

Nothing funny here. Just Business.

buyer backed out, I'm not going to send it back to the distributor because the restocking fee is absurd. This one is back up for sale guys!

Paypal and money order only. I'll snap some pics since some of you were questioning the quality. Please email me with any questions. Trade offers are welcome, but most likely will be turned down unless something special turns up.
 
Alright Alright. I'll accept trades too, here is the stuff I'm looking for....punks

Money can be worked in where needed.

1. UKPK (I'd prefer Foliage Green instead of Safety Orange)
2. Spyderco Small Spyderpac
3. Chinese Lum
 
May I ask what you didn't like about it..?

sure you can.

It's simple really, I don't like the carbon fiber. I don't like the look of it and I don't like the feel of the smooth carbon fiber. If it was a peel ply, then maybe I would keep it. I just prefer G10 so much more. The blade is gorgeous, and it has one of my favorite blade steels. But I really don't like handle material. I can't justify carrying this over my caly and I can't keep this as a show piece as I want another user.

This was my first carbon fiber knife. I bought a chinook 3 right after I got this in the mail.
