Re: Native 5 lw with SPY27?

Well, it's hard to say with lighting being so important, but I guess it could be a lighter blue than my S110V based on this pic I just took.

Re: Native 5 lw with SPY27?

Wow, need to see that side by side with an S110V lightweight. That photo makes it look virtually identical to my eye.

Re: KnifeCenter CPM-CRUWEAR Native 5 with smooth black G10

My idea of the perfect Native 5 is just about complete. :D Cruwear blade, steel liners, and african blackwood scales. Now I just have to decide on a clip. Right now I'm thinking of getting one of those gorgeous creations by Josh of Razor Edge Knives. https://i.imgur.com/cQbMChD.jpg https://i.imgur....

Re: Shaman Cru-Wear Sprint Run release ?

Anyone here got one from the DLT lottery, granted there were only 15 pieces? That one was supposed to pick winners yesterday. As JRinFL stated above, probably ever flipper in the world figured out a way to game the lottery system. It's like when I was in HS and my buddy got to shoot the half-time 3...

Re: KnifeCenter CPM-CRUWEAR Native 5 with smooth black G10

I've had a few Natives but this one is special. The smoothest one I've ever owned and the sharpest from factory. Just cut up some cardboard for the recycling bin and it zipped right through. Smooth scales didn't allow my hand to slip because of the choil and jimping. Even thinking about keeping the...

Re: Para 3 K390 Ranger green from BBS!

I think if retailers like BHQ and KC had these knives, most of them would be snatched up by flippers/resellers, resulting in a much higher price per knife overall. I figure those type buyers are the ones most upset because they can't get their usual quick profits, or as much. I like it. Its definit...

Re: Is it time for the PM2 to come with tip up carry from the factory?

I much prefer tip up, because 1: that's what I'm used to, 2: I like having the blade held shut by the pocket seam, and 3: on knives with a large "hump" like the Para series I find the hump is much more in the way when carried tip down. All that being said, I don't really care how spyderco ...

Is the DLT lottery page not working for anyone else?

Re: Para3 LW in m390.. First LW exclusive

Boy, this will be a tough one to pass on. I may have to hold out for that green/204p version, though, as I already got the G10 version of this combo.

Re: Reveal 3 Released!

There are some good looking knives in that reveal. Might want to double check the weight of the shaman sprint as listed in the app, though, as I'm seeing it at almost 3.5 tons!

Re: Para 2 Lightweight?

I'd certainly be in for one of these - I am very impressed with the P3 LW, and the price is tough to beat.

Re: Native 5 in G10 vs. Native 5 Lightweight in FRN

I agree with the budding consensus that they are not noticeably different in functionality. However, I find that the G10 version just feels nicer, at least to me. I like the balance better, and I I like the little extra bit of heft that the G10 gives the knife. I would equate it somewhat to the more...

Re: KnifeCenter CPM-CRUWEAR Native 5 with smooth black G10

I haven't done much with mine other than fiddle with it. So far, I'm loving the smooth G10, and the action on this knife is super smooth, particularly for a back lock. I'm really excited to play around with the steel, as this is the first Cruwear knife I've had (my only other carbon steel knives are...

Re: Red G10 Para 3 M390

I had my cell phone alarm set for five minutes before the drop on this one, and I was away from my office when it went off. I figured I'd give it a try ordering on my phone, and kind of assumed that I wouldn't be able to complete the transaction anyway, and would leave it up to fate. Well it went th...

Re: Red G10 Para 3 M390

I can't decide if I want to pull the trigger on one of these or not. My only P3 is the LW, and I do really like it, but I definitely prefer the size of the PM2 for general use. So, with a P3LW and a couple of Natives, do I really need another 3 inch knife? The problems are, (1) I really like the col...
