Would you buy one?

Not my pic
 
I'd buy one in a heartbeat. Looks like a perfect cross between the Native V and the Caly 3.5. I can only imagine how buttery smooth it would be with the Native V's bushing pivot system.
 
Now we're talking! I'd like it as a bigger spec Native5 though with FFG etc.
 
I would buy one as I carried a native 5 for 6 yrs and that looks a bit bigger, I like it.
 
I dont need jimping on my knives. I like it as is. Seems rather old though. Peelply CF and S90v would make it an awesome slicer!
 
Definitely would buy one, but doubt I'd ever carry it. If it were full flat ground, without the swedge, and the handle was anything other than peel-ply G-10, I'd do both.

If it was ffg, it would be too close to an endura for me. I'd like it to keep the grind in that picture.

So is the Native5 too close to the Delica for you then? If so, then all FFG Spyderco's can be considered too close to the Endura including the Police,Millie etc. Caly 3 too close to the Delica. I understand that the grind associates it more into the Native family though. I also know that there's the whispers of a "countermovement" who think there may be too many FFG's these days. How about offer it in BOTH! :)

No swedge no deal.

I think the swedge as pictured looks nice, a nod to the Native series. If the Native5 is the evolution of the series, then we see what direction they are going with it. Love my Native5's FFG blade so I dont know... I've been keen on any info on the Chief because the Native5 is such a great knife. I always thought the Chief was gonna be a 3.5 bladed Native5, which would be just what the doctor ordered.

Except that it would be a G 10, cpm S30v, buttery smooth, USA made Endura with a finger choil :D

To each their own, but I only use knives with adequate jimping. I see so many customs out there that I'd love to own, but they always lack the jimping. I love having the positive grip. It is a knife after all.

So all your kitchen knives have jimping? Don't get me wrong, I'm not against jimping. I just think that a properly designed handle, like the deep 50/50 choil on the Chief, makes it more of a cosmetic/esthetic point than a safety issue.

I don't use kitchen knives like I do field knives.
