Compression lock Native 5, yes.
My N5's are great, but I've had surgery on my thumb and pressing the lock bar hurts my thumb.
A compression lock Native 5 would be greatly appreciated.

Dark Gray and XHP, 20CV, Cruwear.

I like smaller knives, not on that platform.
Smaller knives, in my opinion, should be slim.

I put a tiny washer under the screw head....better.

Very nice, but the K390 and Micarta scales, for me would be best on a sage 5.

Thanks all!
Meat Man, nice clip and pics.

The Swayback has been out a while now, so how is it long term? Is it proving to be a keeper?
I thought about getting one but the 3 1/2 blade is a bit over my likes. I'm returning now because this knife looks so good.

I like a flat gray clip. Every clip I have is that finish. It's dull and does not attract attention.
If I like the clip that comes with the knife, I blast it to that finish. If I don't like the clip that comes with the knife, I get an MXG clip.

I love lots of Spyderco models with Para 3 LW and Sage right at the top(3" area). I haven't bought a sage 5 LW, because am waiting on a different steel. Like XHP, 20CV, Crew

Thank you Michael Janich for the Micarta info.
We need to to be clear of the "fabric" incased in the glue(paper, linen, canvas, Micarta), it makes a difference in the grip.
I prefer canvas Micarta, looks good, feels good.
Top one and 4th one down.

Back in the day........They had a pocket clip. Loved the idea.

What Superflex said.

Has COVID effected production @ Spyderco inc?
Gayle Bradley 2
Lil Native LW compression lock
Sage 5 LW
Chaparral LW

Just asking?

Never saw an "improvement" I didn't like, except this time.
With a Shaman, perhaps.

Para 3 M390 blade into a Para 3 LW scales. Great!

Regular production or........limited.....

Para 3 LW grip is great, one of the best I have. Native 5 LW isn't bad either.
À chacun ses goûts

Nice looking clip! Never bought a Lynch, just MXG.

Now that Spyderco has mastered the "solid" feel in FRN, I like it more than G10.
I like the grip of FRN, but it is light, it makes a knife have good balance. Don't like a butt heavy knife. I had a Caly 3 once that just slipped out of my hand and into my leg.

It's great for me. It is not hard to get screaming sharp and holds that for a decent amount of time. Then, touching it up is easy. EASY is a good description.
Now, there are others here that can give you a much better coverage on this.
