Killer pic Ryan


Thank you Jeb!



Nice shot Ryan , I need to handle a Lil Native at a show this a fall . I like the design just not sure if it will fit my hand . Dan


I don’t have large hands but i can get a four finger grip on the lil native behind the choil.

Using the choil makes it feel ...

One option that I sometimes do when I can't get the blade handle combo I want is buy two knives, one with the handle I want and one with the blade I want and then either swap the scales or swap the blades. Then either keep both or sell the combo I didn't want as much. In your case you would be ...

I would like to hear the story behind the broken blade . Major Ooops ! Nice shot ! Dan

I don’t think it’s broken, I think it’s just stabbed through a leaf. The handle is behind the leaf. I could be wrong.

Its all a matter of production tolerances. If the pin that goes through the lockbar does not get “press-fit” into the scales the slightest space in that connection creates the lock rock. With G10 and FRN handles of several Native 5’s I tested no lock rock was there as these scale materials allow ...

Hello …….

why not start with calendar submissions? you own the photos now and have years worth of submissions and you aren't limited to what made it into the calendars. you could probably make a book just with the calendar winners and other submissions that you liked but didn't meet requirements or make it ...

A project charter was established before testing started. Previous results on finished and available to the general public products were used to calculate what numbers or percentages would be used. Both of them paramilitary 2s in their representative steel. All knives purchased came from ...

Super cool scale dye jobs! And those are some serious lanyards!

Hey y’all. I have been absent for a while. Looks like a bad week to jump back in because all of these pictures are incredible! But I got my second lil native in today and pretty excited. Thought I would share a pic here.

It was my calendar submission this year. I am a huge fan!
Used it to poke holes in steel jar lids for a caterpillar habitat yesterday. Stropped back to shaving sharp

In my personal experience, S110V can vary wildly from knife to knife. My 2018-era UKPK is very forgiving whereas my 2022/2023 era Native 5 is noticeably more brittle. I love both for what they are, but in some ways they behave almost like two different steels.

Regardless...

Used my UKPK to cut ...

trimming the bamboo. S110V is tougher than some give it credit for. Geometry and hardness matter a lot. I ripped the tips off a serrated native 5 in magnaut cutting into this same bamboo and rolled or chipped large portions of the edge on that magnacut. But it isn't because ...
