Take a look at the RIL Sage. It's almost identical in size and shape to the Native and has the advantage of a slightly larger and fully exposed Spyderhole.

I own a CF Sage ... I'm not much on the leaf blade ... so I took the top edge down to more of a Par Mili looking profile ... I didn't take any length off ... the Sage looks and feels like "Too much handle length, not enough blade length" to me ... though the Native doesn't have much more blade length than the Sage, I don't get that feeling with it.

Even though I like my Ti Sage 2 the way it is - I must say I like the way yours came out as wellNicely done!
