And the MILITARY! Anything other than everything about the Military is not a Military. Including multi position clip!
I really like the looks of this knife. However it is 5.2 ounces. That is 2.2 ounces heavier than my Manix 2 LW and I do not see it offering much added functionality.
Because it is the best:strong, reliable, easy to use, good for right and left hands.- Spyderco knife lock count - 167 lock backs; 85 liner locks; 50 compression locks; then the rest
- Spyderco forums poll favorite lock - back lock/mid lock
?
If you're into multi lock implementation the Sage is your knife. Otherwise changing major features changes the Model. Compression lock is not Native.
I just watched the video for like the 10th time God I want one so bad hurry up Spyderco!!!!
God I need both of them, like nowYeah!
Little Natives come in @4:30
Technically, it's a "Native Shaman". If response is good, then we'll consider the "Native "Chief" as well.

why change something that many people love at almost cult status, a flagship model at that, to please a bunch of people who don't??!! May not bother you, but if someone drilled a bunch of holes in my beloved military id be bummed as hell. Call me or people like me scared, or what you will, but its just how I feel.....That's stupendous news! I'd love to see the Native move into the 4"+ range.
Some people on here are just scared silly of change.
That is the beautiful thing about knives. There is a knife for all occasions. For me a light weight knife with a 3 - 3.5 inch blade will do 95% of what I need it to do. If I need something more substantial then I am reaching for a fixed blade. I just don't like 5+ ounces as a daily carry.If you watch the BHQ video I linked above, Eric talks about it being a heavy duty user with thick blade stock and a steel back spacer. I would imagine a heavy duty knife would be a bit heavier than a light weight knife!
