Okay, I've got an itchin' to know what else is out there or who may have what in their personal collection of Spyderco Natives. So please respond to this post, so we can all see who has what per say! The following is a list of the natives I currently own in my collection, however, I have one just for personal use which is a Black FRN Native PE.

There are some blue G-10 Natives that are the same as the early Bladeforum natives that are not engraved. I've never seen a PE, but here is a photo of the SE.

There are PE Blue G-10 Natives, both engraved and unengraved. I own 2 of the engraved PEs and have a pic of an unengraved PE.

Here's the story from Spyderco regarding the numbers of blue G-10s made.

"In total there were actually approximately 700 of the Blue Natives made. The first 200 which were numbered 00 - 200 were for our Collector's program. The Collector's receive the first of everything we produce. The other 500 were originally for Blade Forums but it was determined the quanitity was to large for the interest so we engraved 300 for Blade Forums and sold the remaining 200 to a few dealers and through our local outlet. The 300 Blade Forum pieces were the only ones engraved with Blade Forums logo. The others were sold as the C41GPSBL, Blue Native."
