I have a native 5 that I purchased from a man in oregon, has been EDCed for two days but still in excellent condition. There are two light scratches on the blade and some light scratches on the stainless steel lockbar, but other than that its fantastic. Lockup is still incredible, the edge has been sharpened to 2000 grit and stropped, and the knife is very smooth to open. It comes with the box and paperwork inside.
I also have an emerson CQC-8 that I purchased from a very nice bladeforums member, it is a 2005 version from the first production run of the waved CQC-8. It has the ceramic coating which has worn off over the years, however the g10 is still nice and comfortable, the pocket clip shows no signs of wear, and the lockup is great. The liners have been coated in mil spec black coating and the action is very smooth. This blade is also different because it has a traditional double V bevel as opposed to Emerson's single bevel edge. This blade was also sharpened through 2000 grit and stropped, this one however does not have the box.
I'm looking to trade one or two of these guys, mainly because the emerson is too heavy for my work EDC and while I love the native (incredible edge retention!!) lock backs arent my favorite.
Items I am interested in:
Sage 1
Bone collector axis folder (large or small)
Benchmade 710
Para-military 2
Kershaw Junkyard dog composite blade
Griptilians (plain edge)
Edge Pro Apex stones
I'm willing to trade one or both for certain folders. Shoot me any offer and I'll let you know if I'm interested, or if you have questions my email is blazingblade73@yahoo.com
