I really like my Native Chief. I was afraid it would be weak without liners and saw
how small the pivot for the lock looked at the side of the scale. Then...I saw a disassembly
video which shows the pivot pin for the lock is stepped (duh..I never considered that).
It has a lot more surface area to bear stress than I thought it did and I ordered it.
Liners would ruin it...it would be too heavy. Ergos and balance are great and I love the
blade profile. Great for cutting meat and veggies at camp! A solid knife I am very glad I got.
I have a S30V Shaman too for tougher use where a stronger tip and thicker blade make more sense.
I like it! It is a high quality slicer that is a decent size that is comfy to carry. I find myself
gravitating to thinner profiles for slicing. The Kapara is epic for this as is the Ikuchi.
