did anyone check the weight of this knife in the cat, its 2.7 oz!
native 5 g10 is a full oz. heavier @ 3.7 oz.
the native 5 ltw is 2.5 oz.
i would like to see a user version of the native 5 with carbon scales.

Re: Native 5 40th cf
I think the milling might be what causes the weight reduction. I could be wrong though.

I recall a thread where it was stated that the Fluted CF Native had no liners which could account for the significant weight reduction.VashHash wrote:I think the milling might be what causes the weight reduction. I could be wrong though.
Re: Native 5 40th cf
At knifeCenter they also have a Fluted CF with s90v, pre-order 251$ I believe, still a bit pricey but cheaper than the 40th...but I didn't see it in the 2016 product Guide.
Re: Native 5 40th cf
Couldn't resist and pre-ordered it. Nice collectors item.

I love liners, never cared about weight of the knife. I am not sure that I like no liners idea.

It looks awesome, but I'm not sure it looks $350 awesome. Close, though. It'll be a tough call.
KC has a photo of it now I believe.

Absolutely not. Liners are the most important part of the knife, especially brass liners :)senorsquare wrote:I think liners are overrated :)bh49 wrote:I love liners, never cared about weight of the knife. I am not sure that I like no liners idea.
Do not tell me that you never noticed that liners improving edge retention and ergos? :) :D
