Anyone have any comments, good or bad, on Spyderco's Native with the stainless handle? How is the fit and finish and how does the AUS-10 blade stack up against the more popular high end steels?

Thanks,

Jon
 
Fit & finish are excellent, Jon. I haven't used mine extensively, but it has opened boxes, cut nylon rope, etc. w/o needing to be sharpened yet.

I had planned on pocket carry next to my wallet and removed the clip to give it a slimmer profile. I then found it a bit difficult to open w/o the clip in place so I had the handle checkered. (Initeria opening are easy but not always socially acceptable.) A search for "stainless native" on the Spyderco forum should turn up several comments from others as well as a link to a pic of my checkered piece.
