Linerlock Military..
and a 3.5" Native SE.

No photo, but it was the Native 5 Salt SE LC200N performing gardening duty.

IDK, honestly. I have six, all in different steels, and am not sure if 15V is any better than Maxamet.

I only have the Chef and the Swayback, but I am pretty sure I would enjoy the Bowie also.
I love the Chef also because it saved me a lot of money by not lusting so much after a Drunken. :-)

I don't blame Spyderco. The dollar is simply losing its purchasing power. I think it will get even worse.

I don’t understand a lot of the negative attitude going on here.

The same two or three people do it in every thread asking for this model..

WE could always buy a Native chief and do this, too : https://messerforum.net/threads/spyderco-native-custom-special-wip.145705/ You probably could, Robin. I would most definitely ruin a dozen or so knives, spend a significant amount on power tools and other equipment that I don't currently own, an...

Background: I own five Native 5's. I recently picked up a brown G10 / M390 Native Chief because I was wanting something a bit longer. The Chief is great, but it's a bit too long, and by not adding height to scales and blade the proportions are thrown off. I strongly prefer the bias toward closure o...

I just asked my local dealer to get me a Camo DLC Military. JIC, before they're gone too.
If I will have a DLC coated blade, let it be a Millie. Also, strangely, I don't have anything in my entire collection in S30V, which is a classic of the blade steel category.

I microconvexed my S110V Military the first time it went dull and now, three or four sharpenings later, I can say I didn't have any problem with it.. The same goes for my maxamet PM2 amd P3 and a few other ones.

Hi Fireman,

So what you want is a Spyderco Machete? With teeth?

Not the OP, but yes.

No hotspots and a neutral handle, that's large enough in all grips, so I can transfer the most power to the edge without experiencing any type of discomfort.

I am still on the fence about this one. Can you fit all fingers on the handle and what's your glove size? I am L. Thanks! :-)

I really love the PITS. I am still surprised I can't find any flaws.

Also, after the FRN and G10 models, the carbon fiber Native 5 is a completely different experience.

Another swamp dweller here. So far only SK85 and K390 rusted/pitted (red rust, despite the patina) on me in a substantial way. So much so, I don't think I will be buying any more knives in these steels. In my experience, D2, A2, M4, 3V, Rex45 are all doing okay, developing patinas, with some minimal...

I am waiting for the SE Chaparral. It's fine if that's the only Spyderco I buy this year. I can wait until next year for the BBB folder.

Pole mounted. Nothing crazy like a halberd, but maybe a CS Bushman. :-)
Otherwise, I already carry what I want, legal or not, nobody really cares.

what's the chopper? I don't recognize that.

The Condor Bushcraft Parang. It's good.

It's the Stretch2 XL.
