Spyderco Native

[Bucktool_02]

Does anyone in the Los Angeles area know where to find one of these S30V Natives? I made a futile trip to the Van Nuys Walmart over the weekend, nada.

Go open a "Sebenza - good or bad?" thread.



Read my posts if you want to know how I "racked up over 4600 posts".

LOL LOL LOL LOL, :jerkit:

The Wally's on Beach Blvd. at the 22 has 'em, If you happen to be in the Garden Grove/ Stanton area.

If your Wal-Mart does not have Natives somebody from sporting goods can special order it for you. I read about it on Spyderco forums and I did it myself.
It took about two weeks to get it. You have to give them bar code. I download it from Spyderco forums

I don't think that I know an awful lot about knives. I know for a fact that there are a few hundred members here who know more about that subject than I do.
My point is that I have amassed a sizeable chunk of my post count by trying to answer newbies' questions whenever I can. I wrote a search engine FAQ for this forum, I use the post report function to ask the mods to move new members' threads to forums where they're more likely to get an answer etc.
No, you don't have to get in line to say "thanks QS", just try to do your part to keep these forums worthwhile.

It's just getting awfully repetitive if you get to see new threads pop up here and there on a subject that has been discussed so many times before. Doesn't exactly improve the signal-to-noise ratio.
The Blade Discussion Forum has become so busy that many of the more specific questions that have not been discussed here before get buried in a truckload of "plain vs serrated", "Benchmade vs Spyderco" or "Victorinox vs Wenger" posts before anyone who might have the knowledge to answer it gets to read it.

When I join a forum, I search before I ask a question, I don't use it as a chat room, use meaningful titles, try to describe my problem in great detail and do my best to use proper spelling, grammar and punctuation and divide my posts into paragraphs here or there to make them legible (not referring to Metro but newbies in general here).

As for your reference to my age, that's precisely why I used to leave my age out when I noticed that people tend to play the age card whenever they disagree with someone or want to characterize a fellow member as being this or that. Not surprisingly, nobody asked me about my age when I did that, simply because an unbiased view of my posts shows that there's no reason to assume that age factors in on the content of my posts.

It's all right. You can get off your soapbox, you don't need to prove yourself to anybody. Rest easy, man.

The Walmart on S. Normandie just south of the 405 Freeway in Gardena has them.

They also have them at the Westminster Crossroads Walmart and the Brea Walmart if you're willing to venture into Orange County. However you shouldn't have to since they have them in Gardena.

Good luck!

I was there today (hunting for Buck 110 Commemorative Tins on sale) and they're temporarily sold out of the Natives. However they are getting a fresh shipment in on Saturday.

Because many more people feel qualified to share their take on "frame lock vs Axis lock" than on more specific subjects. That's why highly specific questions are often left unanswered. The knowledge is here, but instead of having a bunch of posts each on thousands of subjects we have thousands of posts on a few subjects and just a few on most others.

Fair enough, but a lot of people want to know answers to that frame lock vs. axis lock and similar questions. Additionally, if few people are qualified to answer more specific questions, then nothing relating to broader questions will change that. Lastly, I can't speak for anyone else, but sometimes I have to post a new one because they search feature refuses to work, and I know I'm not the only one this happens to regularly... still not sure why. No offense or anything, I know what you mean, it's just that it doesn't annoy me at all if people do that.

Thanks Frank, bh49, and longbeachguy for your replies. I live in the Burbank area and just wanted to pick up a Native on a whim. Well, since all the stores that have them are so far away; I guess it's Fate's way of telling me to quit buying knives for a while. In the past 2 weeks, I've won 7 Benchmades from Ebay. I couldn't justify driving that far out, or putting one on special order--that's just too premeditated.
Oh well, time to address that credit card balance.

I had given up hope on the native in socal stores but here they are! Brea, huh? Even though I've bought 6 spydercos in the last 30 days and I'm not exactly close...

I like the knife but it's funny how of all the spyderco's I've seen it has virtually zero closing bias....I don't like that.
