Need the Native 5 G10 Salt to be available in SE. all the golden G10 Salts are PE only.

Not sure if ZDP-189 is appropriate. I do find when it gets sharp, it is so aggressively sharp with all those carbides, but it the way it breaks down is impressive.

I hope we see a Native 5 in 52100. I have the Military 52100 sprint and the steel and heat treat are ideal for maintaining a fine edge. Perhaps it may happen if 52100 remains available in sheet form for Spyderco.

Aogami Superblue and H1. Thank you Japan!

The OP may find that Pacific Salt will find its way into the pocket and more use than intended. Light weight and simple to maintain, easy edge touch ups. A good cutting tool.

Endura ZDP-189 for most everything. Manbug SE in H1 if I don’t carry the Endura.

I guess this is easy for me. Manbug salt has been a constant companion. I use it more than any other knife.

I have a GB1 that has become my main edc. Not sure why I let it rest for so long. Exceptional cutting tool and my best folder. This includes some CRK’s, the GB1 is just made to cut.

I am puzzled by the lack of a K390 Native 5. Waiting for the 15V, but K390 in a Native 5 has been on the want list for some time.

I have to go with the Military 1. 52100 is the current favorite.

I keep holding out hope for a new run. ZDP-189 is still a favorite and the Walker is a fantastic design.

Sad news. deacon was a solid contributor.

I have the same issue with my original street beat. Really beautiful knife.

I might cave on this, G10 native 5’s are stellar. Guessing 204P and the PVD coating. 10v would be the scorpion?

Keeping with the Military 1 theme, I wanted to say thanks to Spyderco. I asked for another batch of S110v Military to be produced and they came through. I have had it for about a year. Pulled it out today and must say it’s near perfect. Nice work by the knife makers.

Spyderco does a nice job on 52100. The Military is excellent. A native chief would be great in that long slime blade. They could thin it out given the 52100 stability.

It has to be smooth g10 cruwear native from blade hq (?). I prefer other spyders in my pocket (chap or k390 delica) but I do recognize it is basically a perfect configuration in terms of functionality and aesthetics.


I have to second this. I use my Endura more but the smooth G10 and the Native ...

Like most here, I have to many to choose. Endura ZDP-189 gets the lion share of the work. Something about ZDP-189!

Just received a Stretch 2 in BRG, ZDP-189. Its getting put to work within the hour.

52100 should live on. The Native series. Native 5 and Native Chief.
