Spyderco Native opinions?

InfantryMyers · Oct 28, 2011

just wondering if the Spyderco Native is worth the $70 im gonna pay for it

I have two Natives. An older one, black blade and partially serated; and a Native 5. I love mine. Go ahead and get it.

If you want the ultimate 3" EDC, consider stepping up to the Native 5.

spikedog · Oct 28, 2011

I agree

GundaManiac · Oct 28, 2011

Yes, the Native is worth it.

The Native 5 is an upgrade definitely worth considering if you like the Native design.

yep, but I think that one can be had for a hair less, say in the 50-60 bucks range. A bargain nonetheless, considering it's CPMS30V. If u get it check out the tips for that metal and if u r comfy doing it, reprofile the edge to a thinner angle. It becomes a mini light saber.

I like my old Native and probably you can find it for less than $70, but not much. Still I would certainly recommend save a little more and get Native5. Huge improvement over old Native. I love this knife.

Native is one solid knife, fits your hand like a glove, shaarp, legal in most places, and fits well in the pocket.

haha the thing about the native 5 is the blade is different and that style of grind is why i like the Native

Lol We've Been Talking A Little. Yes It's Very Worth It. Look On Amazon And Ebay Though! You Can Get It For Quite A Bit Less Than $70. Sharpen That Thing At A Seventeen Degree Edge! That's The Edge I Have On Mine, And It Is Sooo Scary Sharp, And s30v Is a GREAT Steel. And When The Money Comes Around Again, Grab Yourself A Manix 2 Lol. But Definitely Get The Native, Great Knife.

InfantryMyers · Oct 28, 2011

ya the manix 2 is on my list (along with about 500 other knives)

I also like the Native. I have an older FRN native and a new Native 5. But they don't ride in the pocket nearly as much as the Delica 4 FFG. It's just my go to carry knife.

Yes! InfantryMyers, that is exactly why, after handling a Native and Native 5 in a B&M store, I ended up walking out the door with a Native even though the Native 5 was logically the superior knife in every spec except weight. There's just something about the character of the Native FRN's swedge-y blade that appeals to me.
