Re: LC200N Native 5 Salt. Still no knife. Come on! When???

Anybody else trying to open and close their brand new native salt in order to break in and it just isn't cutting it? It seems that it is actually making it worse somehow... It is making a grinding metal to metal contact sound and is also squeaking like crazy when I open and close it. The thing that ...

Re: The Native 5 Salt and Why It's So Awesome.

I am curious because I honestly don't know, but why is there a big push to promote LC200N over H-1? LC200n can rust with enough exposure but H-1 can never rust. Is H-1 just not wear resistant enough? The Native 5 Salt is smaller than the Salt 2 even though there is more blade mass. I like the "...

Re: The Native 5 Salt and Why It's So Awesome.

Ok, I can offer some early feedback on this knife. I was fortunate enough to get one of these several weeks ago and I have used the last month as a chance to do some very heavy testing on this knife...mainly in the corrosion resistance department. As most of you know, I kayak fish on the saltwater ...

Re: Spydie Chef vs Native 5 Salt. Which would you choose and why?

Hey perfectblade, welcome to the forum! First of all, let me say that you have narrowed your choice down to two really great knives so there is no bad decision you can make at this point. I have found the Spydiechef to be an outstanding EDC knife for my uses. It's a very slim design that seems to d...

Re: Spydie Chef vs Native 5 Salt. Which would you choose and why?

I split the difference and got a PE sheepsfoot Caribbean... no regrets! It won't do cutting board work like the Spydiechef, but it's a bunch cheaper, has a fantastic blade grind and is big enough to take on larger tasks than an N5. I'm looking forward to hearing whether the Native Salt has a thinne...

Re: Spydie Chef vs Native 5 Salt. Which would you choose and why?

Hey Pelagic, I would be looking to use either of these as an all around EDC. I wont be collecting any knives. I just want that one knife. What really drew me to these two is the minimal care it needs, the edge retention being better than H1 and it being closer to the retention VG-10 and S30V, and al...

Re: Spydie Chef vs Native 5 Salt. Which would you choose and why?

What will you be using the knife for, specifically? Hey Pelagic, I will most likely be using it for everything and anything including food prep, opening boxes, cutting tougher plastic, cutting rope by boats (Fresh Water), fileting fish possibly, grilling, eating, carving wood ( to make a small spea...

Spydie Chef vs Native 5 Salt. Which would you choose and why?

Hello! This is my first post! Excited to be here! As a person who isn't looking to collect, but to find that one perfect folding blade with the best mix of edge retention, weight/carry ability, corrosion resistance, and as minimal maintenance as possible, I have come down to two knives which fit the...
