Anybody know the ETA for this knife?

Any knife website I go to does not have this knife for pre order anymore. Its like they're all out :(

Is this knife going to be a sprint run? I do know the Military Fluted Ti is having problems with production and the G10 Native 5 is slowly becoming something of a rarity.

I really really want this knife but don't have enough funds atm to afford it, I'm really hoping this is a production model. :(
 
My distributor is still waiting for the shipment to come in. Thats all I know for now.
 
Sal commented few weeks ago that Natives were in assembly, so should be out soon
 
In another thread, Sal said that he was carrying a first production model to test it out. Sounds like they should be released to the wild pretty soon. I can hardly wait for mine to come to papa.
 
I've been waiting for news. I've had two on preorder since they were announced. This is unusual for Spyderco so I'm beginning to think there is a production issue and we may not see them - at least in the foreseeable future. I certainly hope I'm wrong. I Really want this knife.
 
Sal gave yablanowitz a model to review (pic heavy), it should be here somewhere or in the Spy forums and if I remember correctly I think a certain batch had shipped shortly after that. I might be wrong, for now the knife is a phantom ...haven't heard from anyone in the BF community who has it apart from yab which I guess he had to return back to Sal.

Its possible Spyderco is working on QC because of the high price. Spyderco have yet to disappoint me, so I have no problems as to how long they take. When the knives do come out they always blow me away.

I find it funny because Spyderco gifted 2 of these to the President and the First Lady, wonder if they got prototypes :D
 
This knife will be a hit from hell! Price is subjective and those willing to pay will buy them. There will be oohs & aahs, those who keep them and plenty who will flip them. You see it every day around here. It's a grail one day and on the B/S/T forum the next. It's just a part of the hobby. Once in a while a knife earns a permanent spot and it's hard to tell which ones with all the great knives out there. I'd sure like to hold one of these and see if she's a keeper!
 
I find it hard to conceive that the Native 5 Fluted Titanium won't be one of the most memorable Spydercos to date, ranking up there with the Fluted Titanium Milie.
 
The knife looks great, amazing. It is certainly levels up in the look department to compare with average EDC. Performance wise: it is still Native5. What else do we need? Probably for this knife to be available.
I read many comments on the knives forums from users, who feel sad seeing collector's knives, sitting in gun safe instead of being used. I even more sad that this knife is not available for either collectors or users.
 
Been eyeing the Native 5 since it's release, but may have to skip that one and snag this one! That fluted scale looks amazing.
 
The Native line is one of my favorite and this model looks to be a must have. Guess I'll have to hit the poker tables.
 
Yeah, this model has me excited. The Native 5 in general, well... the charm of the Native to me was largely in its funky grinding -- but the fluted Ti is just gorgeous.
