Review of Large Blue Native I won !

[Mark W Douglas]

To my surprise, I got this knife sent to me via U.S. Overnight Express Mail. It came in an oversized box and well packed.

First impression: Gadzooks, one huge puppy!
The knife is so large, blade is a whopping 10.5" in length. I can't find a place to carry it on me. The blue pocket clip is way tooo large for any pocket. But, I must say, very nice color to the clip.
For the blade, it takes more than a thumb to open it...more like the whole hand!

Has a very solid lock up. It takes my whole body weight to release the lock so I can close it. This I like very much so. You NEVER have to worry about it accidently closing on you. I always say, the stronger the lock the better.

As far as the blue G10 handle goes, perfectly done! It has a very nice finish to it, edges of the handle are rounded off nicely making it smooth but yet has enough texture to the main surface for griping. Course, don't know how I am ever going to get a grip on it to actually use!

Overall, I like this knife very much so. A little bit smaller it needs to be though. Geez, I never thought I would hear the day that I said I wanted a smaller knife

P.S. I have a bridge to sell if anyone is interested.

Sorry Spark, had to to do this, inside joke on the Spyderco Forum!

Mark,

For a second, I thought you beat me to the BIG NATIVE CONCEPT KNIVE. Okay. I chuckled afterwards.

Mark, get Gary (G2) to make you a quiver for that thing, it's more suited to over the back carry, eh?

Mark,
I made that appointment for you. The doctor says he will see you at 2PM on Thursday and it's a BYOP appointment (Bring Your Own Prozac).

He said with a lot of expensive therapy in 3 or 4 years you may be able to get back to reality---but not to fear, he said that your obsession with knives is incurable.

(I appreciate your sense of humor)

Thanks for the suggestion, tried it already, and you are right, there is NO CURE !

Wasted my money on that therapy, just to think how many more knives I could have bought with that money I spent on that shrink!

I think he cheated....that's how I think he won it. Ok....I said it. It's been bugging me and I let it out.

I think one of his kids showed him one of those new math tricks and he was able to make a SWAG and bam! He won. Some guys have all the luck.
