Just got my Native 5 today, and it is very nice indeed!
I had high expectations for this knife, and it definitely met them. It is very solid, smooth, and locks up tight. The G-10 along with the ergonomic handle make it a joy to hold and use. I like the FFG blade and the small swedge. Fit & finish are excellent, the blade is nicely ground and extremely sharp. This is a very worthy successor to the Native line. The only thing I'd change is a black clip rather than the shiny one. If I ever regularly carry this one, I'll definitely swap the clip for black. Other than that, this would make an awesome EDC. Thanks Spyderco!
now this native rocks

Well, I got my Native, and its my favorite EDC so far. Better than my Delicas, Manix, Chaparral, and Dragonflys....
It's as big as the Delica but its ONLY downlfall is its price. Feels super nice in hand.
It should be in the same price range as the Manix 2 saber ground. (80-90 dollar range)

Spyderco please make a wire clip version of the Manbug/Ladybug!
