I sure would like to see the Chief go into production. Is there any chance of this actually happening?

It is supposed to be like a large Native. I'm dreaming of a 4" S30V blade shaped like the Native and set in a Manix/Chinook style handle.

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but I ain't the cat :D , so why would it be a big seller in Somalia?
 
what in the HECK is that green-handled beast? it looks like a snail-knife.

oh, and if it weren't so sharp, i'd like to make out with that Chief knife. :p:eek: she's just that sexy.

As the caption on the photo says, these are prototypes or concept knives from 1999. It's interesting to see how many made it through the process and into production. Now if the Native's Big Brother could make the jump also.... :D I'm not so sure about the Ulu style knife though :eek:

There have been other threads asking for a larger Native, and that pic has been shown before. I do think it would be nice, and I really want one, but Sal's negative experience with the BladeForums Blue G-10 Native is going to be very difficult to overcome, if it ever happens at all.

Let's see how the Pikal and the "Tsunamied Endura" turn out. Maybe one day we'll see this one. I really hope so, but I'm not holding my breath.

Hello All

I couldn't help but notice that the Chief Proto looks very similar to the discontinued Spyderco Renegade.

I personally love my Native and a bigger version would be great, but I can't see it getting made.

On a brighter note, there are still too many Spydercos past and present that I still "NEED" to buy ! ! !
