new native?

[cmott69]

Any word on the carbon fiber natives?

Initially it was July/August. The last from Tazkristi is August/September. It keeps getting pushed out farther and farther. I'm having withdrawal symptoms.

Are they really gonna be made in Japan with VG10 steel? I was hoping for something out of Golden, CO.

The Native III is already made in Japan with VG-10. The IV will also be made in Japan, assuming it has VG-10 steel.

If the CF/VG-10 Native IV goes over well, they are going to make an FRN/S30V version in Golden; so make sure and buy one

Isn't that essentially the Native I?

The big difference will be the full flat grind.

Comedians!

Some carbon fiber with S30V out of Golden would find its way to my pocket. I'm not crazy about the current FRN version.

True. I've seen some Krein flat-ground Native Is. They looked mighty nice! It would be great to have that as a stock option.

Like this Krein ground?
Waiting, waiting!

 

[THG]

Exactly. Where did you get the scales?

THG,
Bought the Textured G10 from Halprin Titanium(internet site), and fabricated it to match the FRN scales of Spyderco.
If you want to know more details, I can do.
