got my native 5 today-first off let me state i didnt like the first native i had that much-fine knife just didnt wow me

decided to try a native5 because of the bushing pivot and g-1

very glad i did-this feels as solid as the sage3-fits my hand well-

to make this quality at this price in america shows just how well spyderco can crunch numbers in these trying times

thanx sal

Which do you like more - the Native 5 or Sage 3?

havent had any time to use the n5-

now this native rocks

Yes, yes it does :cool:

Agreed that the Native 5 rocks.

Another shot for fun

I'm impressed enough by mine that I'm already thinking about what kind of wood to have someone replace the G-10 scales with.

a textured 2tone g10 in blue and orange :)

Deacon, I am relatively noobie, who makes wood replacement scales?

I'm anxious to get one. Why do you guys keep pressuring me? :)

To OP,
I am glad that you like N5. I love it.

Paul, do not forget to post pictures :p :)
Can you imagine this knife with bolsters? and Coco, Ironwood, jigged bone scales :p :p :p :p

Ya, what he said. :eek:

- best wishes, Jazz.

Now I want one - **** u photo guy :) .

I know i'm probably the minority here, but i miss the signature swedge. I'm waiting for someone to have one custom ground. I can't wait to handle one though, i'll probably buy one. Me and the Native go way back.

The swedge is still there...its just a smaller classier more grown up swedge. :D

Nonsense...i prefer the immature adolescent mall ninja swedge LOL

I agree the N5 is a hands-down winner. Seems like a close relative to the old Mini-Manix; it's got some heft, it's just as lean, smaller in size and slimmer in it's proportions. Kinda mean looking! -P

Ha Ha...you should get on customs done...be interesting to see how it looked on the one.

I hated the ergos of the Native 4---Im now tempted to get a 5, looks comfy :o

For sure, I can convince myself that I will pass up on a particular model, only to have a picture or two pop and then here I am thinking about it again. It's a sickness.
