Who Wants The "native Chief?"

[Ken Cox]

I just waded through 832 posts regarding the Native.
832!

I wanted to find the picture of the Big Native that Coho posted above, but the picture doesn't appear any longer and Coho didn't leave an e-mail address.

Anyway, review this thread to see how much excitement the Native Chief, aka Native Talent, aka Native Son, aka Native American engendered.

I would love a bigger Native with S30V steel blade (just under 4").. but not the 3D Native style handle - original style handle please.

 

[u812]

Yeah this one in black G10 would be great.

Looking at Coho's pic, I really, really want one just like the pic. A 3-D handle and the Native III blade shape would be great. Remember us left-handed people.
Ready to make a deposit now, what do you think Sal?

I would gladly put down a 50% deposit.

I'd like a wider blade and handle... not as slim as the one in Coho's pic. Keep the Native somewhat thick and stout like it is now - only bigger.

Handle in G10 with SS liners would be nice. I want a knife that feels like a tank. Imagine a Native tough like a Buck/Strider.

 

[u812]

Yes,don't just stretch it out,make it a little wider too and keep the thinness.

I'm still waiting for the "Large Native" as well!

I bought the 3D Forum Native like I said I would, and even bought the Spyderhawk, although it was the non-Forum model with blue handle.

Yeah, I'll pay full price for the "Large Native" if it comes to pass close enough to the large G-10 proto we've been tempted with.

My limit would be around $250 or so, depending on how far from the proto it was like. Keep the price around $140 and I'd probably get two. I'd want to carry one then, if it were MBC qualified.

The only changes I'd make to that prototype would be a Boye Dent and perhaps a steel liner if necessary for MBC. Colors: black, olive or dark blue would be my preferences. Truth is, any color G-10 would do if it became a reality!

Also, the "large Native" in FRN would work for me (I started this poll ages ago). Keep the price under $100 and I'd probably buy three: a plain edge and a serrated to "put away," and a plain edge to carry.

Karl, ever the Native Fan

How about makeing this the 2004 forum model for both forums and have every one that wants it pay a deposit up front and nor start production until at least 300 orders have been placed.
