I would assume 1200 since we've been constantly pestering Sal (I'm certainly guilty)... The regular forum browsers and contributors alone will probably pull 150-200 of them out of circulation this week alone!

Some do with the right amount of patina, but cheese does as well so I would call them a wash as collectors items :D

Is the cf natives blade stone washed? I handled a new g10 native 5 the other day and the blade is now stonewashed. I have to admit, I prefer the satin finish.

I saw 3 of these at a B&M knife store in Gulf Shores, AL this morning. They were priced at full MSRP so I let them be.

No, the one I got today is not stonewashed. It is nice though and came razor sharp and F&F were near perfect. The grind evenness was a little off but that was about it.

It is too bad that I already got mine for $190 shipped and insured, otherwise I would buy a dozen from BBS :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

It would surprise me if BBS got that many..

Found out today that this is a 800 piece sprint run..

If your undecided or on the fence it would be a good time to get one(or 2)..

These will be harder to get than the more recent 1200 piece runs..

Still 800 is not bad. There were some sprint much less. I hope to get two. One is already in the post office. Hopefully will pick-up tomorrow.

I missed mine yesterday and pick it up today from post office. To tell the truth I bought it for what ever left from my collection. I am not too crazy about CF. I was planning to buy one more to be back-up for my beloved green G10, in case if I loose it.
Everything changed after I opened the box. The knife is gorgeous. Probably CF started to grow on me. I cannot decide, which out of two Natives: dark green G10 or CF I love more. It will be used just to enjoy more.
BTW, my Native came with Worker. I used to own commemorative variant, so I had an idea on what to expect. This knife is above expectations. Absolutely flawless, like any Japanese made Spydercos in old good time. Without of doubts it is little expensive, but for anybody, who can afford, I strongly advise to get one. I can only wish that G10 Worker would became regular production with price, close to Caly3. Really great blade shape.

Thank you Sal for creating these treats. Thank you Annie for providing me with them.
