Spyderco Forums

You will need to try both the Native and the Native III. It's a personal preference of each individual. The Native has the thinner flatter handle and flat pocketclip while the Native III has the fatter/rounder handle with the wire pocketclip. I have larger hands and I prefer the Native III. Wait a l...

I've never had a desire to own one. The design doesn't do anything for "me".

Welcome to the Forum, Shane! You have a nice collection of Spydies there.

Congrats on you SS Native! I have a few myself. I too have been thinking about having some engraving/etching done on the handles. I just don't know anyone who does it. I've also been kicking around the idea of having some California Burl wood overlays put on one of them. Looks like "I" mig...

Welcome to the Spydie Forum, Kev-Man! Lots to see and read here.

When I notice that it isn't cutting very well.

Thanks all. Yes, they all have 1 of 300 etched on them.

I picked em up off the 'bay.

It's been about 2 yrs looking for these and being able to snag em'.

Still looking for the Operation Enduring Freedom.

Anxiously awaiting the new Native IV's.

Finally, I got my hands these Blue G-10 Natives.

A little Marc Antoine and Chris Botti.

I only have one, a gift from one of my Daughters. Love it!

Say Ello To My Leetle Fren!

Well, the end of July is coming up pretty quick. I guess we're not going to see the Native IV in July...or the Phoenix? :confused:

Information that I've found on the web:

The Blue G-10 handled Natives: 700 made, 200 collectors, 300 Bladeforum, rest 200 not engraved to dealers)

As far as the Blue FRN Native III's, I have no info on how many were made.

I posted this on another forum in response to a question about the different models of Natives. I'm no expert but here's what I have up to this point. Please feel free to add/correct information. Native or Native I. This model has the thinner/flatter FRN handles. This model was also released with Bl...

Nice knives and Great Pics!

My collection is almost complete. I need one more (my Holy Grail) Tan one and of course the new Native IV. It's been a fun ride so far. :)

Oh Man,.....I Got Da Blues!

My Blue Natives

I finally got my hands on a couple of Blue G-10 Handled Natives.

Alright, Stormdrane! You're officially published! :D

You can try this too. Cheap and easy to make. I had originally bought one of those portable photo studios which worked ok, but I still couldn't get brighter looking pics. I got this idea from a knife photographer on another forum and it works really good compared to the portable photo studio. It all...
