Native Chief ?
Native Chief ?
Is there any chance Spyderco is going to bring this model back to life with a new steel ?

I'll go ahead and ad to the list of Oh yea I want this knife.
To be honest I seem to have a theme of only liking the really long or really small knives. I either prefer something big to get through a tough job, or something small I can toss in my pocket and forget about. I liked the native but the length always kept me from buying this knife. A large model with 3-3.5" blade would be awesome. Especially with the G10 handle I have come to love Spydercos with G10 handles

Im actually supprised to see a photo of that!!! Its on display at the SFO if I remember correctly, but I did know only one was made.
I agree it looks like a great knife, but I think I would rather see something completely new.

It'd have a back lock, a spear shaped blade and no hump.JLS wrote:It does look nice, but I don't know if I'd be too excited. I really am in love with full flat ground blades and if you do that, how much different would it be than a Military?
The Native IV is fantastic in FFG, and it's clearly still a Native.

I'm an admirer of Spyderco's designs. Using them is like immersing yourself in music or studying a painting in a museum. I buy some "fine" art but my preference is for usable art.
I don't know,many including myself have been calling for a higher end Native for a long time.JLS wrote:It does look nice, but I don't know if I'd be too excited. I really am in love with full flat ground blades and if you do that, how much different would it be than a Military?
It certainly does look nice, but I'm not sure it really has a place in the current line-up.

I am also a fanatic about Flat grind blades. And I prefer full height flat grind or at least close to full height flat grind. - I like the swedge on the back of the new CF Native 4 - So, I would love to see the swedge.
I also like the jimping like on the new Native 4.
I would be interested for sure if it has a flat grind like a longer versin of the new CF Native 4!
