2015 Forum Knife Announcement
Re: 2015 Forum Knife Announcement
Spyderco does spoil us with super steels I agree there, would LOVE to see more cts 204 and m390 though.

Thanks Spyderco!
Re: 2015 Forum Knife Announcement
Pretty sure 2009 (the purple one with the web on the blade) was only 300. I was looking at the product insert yesterday. :)

Re: 2015 Forum Knife Announcement
I am so glad I checked back on the forums. Just ordered a couple.
Re: 2015 Forum Knife Announcement
Thanks for the pics, Studey. Still more of a brown to my eye but I dig the unique color either way.
Re: 2015 Forum Knife Announcement
It looks ALOT like the 2012 Meerkat Sprint Run burgundy color...or are my eyes failing me?

Re: 2015 Forum Knife Announcement
I got so busy at work today that all my plans to sneak away and order one didn't happen. I was pleasantly surprised to see them still available when I got home tonight! It took a whole bunch of attempts but I got through and got my order in. I can't wait to get it! Thanks Spyderco!

Re: 2015 Forum Knife Announcement
Despite reading the forums almost daily somehow I missed the original announcement and just saw this thread. Thankfully they were still in stock, the Native 5 is my favorite lightweight! :)
Re: 2015 Forum Knife Announcement
No problem! It's a maroon in real life, but definitely a brownish shade of maroon. Definitely one of the most refined lockbacks I've felt regarding the action. Extremely smooth, but an extremely tight lockup.tvenuto wrote:Thanks for the pics, Studey. Still more of a brown to my eye but I dig the unique color either way.

Me neither, and still in both PE and SE! I am very pleasantly surprised that they are still available.JNewell wrote: I am totally amazed that those are still available...
But, I'm even more excited about the Native. I had been holding on the S35VN N5 Ltwt, waiting for the S110V version. But then the news of this version dropped, and it being a forum knife, and in a steel I don't have much experience with, it was relative no-brainer. I'm excited!
Re: 2015 Forum Knife Announcement
Agreed. I picked mine up at the SFO on my lunch break Monday also and I think Studey's photo looks pretty color-accurate on my screen. There is more of an "earthy" tint to it than the wine color I think of when I hear "maroon", but it's very nice and classy. I like it.Studey wrote:No problem!

And mine came hair-popping sharp out of the box. Cuts circles in paper no problem. Much sharper than the factory edge on my 2013 Forum Native was.

I weakened and have ordered one. Now to cross my fingers and pray Mount 'Doom', the HMRC sorting centre don't decide to get 'creative' in their interpretation of what's a legal knife in the UK......again.
*Yes, that's the noise I made. I've had 2 hours sleep and spent 4.5 hours nursing my wife after 2 hours listening to the mouth-breathers in the emegency medical centre. I would like this to all be taken into account when I'm whinging later. :)

Re: 2015 Forum Knife Announcement
Oh no! I'm on vacation and thought these went on sale today, not yesterday. How did I get that mixed up? I hope I can still get one!
I need to stay calm and breathe deep. It's gonna be OK. :-/
