I've been a Native fan since they first caught my eye. They are well made and all are priced within the average persons reach. Very fairly priced, IMO.
Well, the Native has been undergoing some evolutionary changes and this latest production model is the best yet.
Handling the knife gives me a feeling that it is one of the best FRN handled knives to come off anyone's production line yet, IMHO. It is as solid as one could expect from a FRN handled knife. I get the distinct impression that it is stronger than it looks.
It locks up tight, the handle is well rounded and comfortable to hold and the 440V blade is ground thin and oh so wickedly sharp.
One of the best things about this newest Native is the fact that it has a black(!) pocket clip that can be switched from right to left making it a truly low key, ambidextrous knife. As I examine the knife, I'm trying to find something that's not right or off so I can report it to you guys, but, I can't find anything bad to say about this knife.
I'm very pleased with this 440V Native and I am barely able to wait to see what Spyderco is going to do with this series next.
Great knife at a REALLY great price!
