Native question

[ouchicutmyself]

Does the native come with a straight blade with a steel handle? I've only been able to find it with a 50/50 serrated with the steel handle. Also it seems that the 50/50 is a AUS 10.
Can I get it with the SS handle in AUS10 with a non-serrated?
Thanks,
Ouch.

P.S. Should have some info on the ladybugs within the next few days.

I've got a friend that has a straight bladed Native with a steel handle! And the blade is made of AUS-10!

Heck, I'm sitting here HOLDING my all stainless Native, and yes, it's a plain edge in AUS-10, from Seki City, Japan. (I believe it is also my only Spydie with patent info stamped on the metal clip--maybe that means it's my oldest?) The grooves on the back of the blade above the pivot are also shallower than the other Natives, and go out about an eighth of an inch farther.

Nice, hefty knife, but with some sharp corners on it's handle which I will eventually smooth out. I also plan to do something to "grippy" up the scales for better handling.

I also have two ltwts. and the BF blue G-10 model.

Guess I like them!
