In the pictures on this one that sold the other day find the one with the Spyderco info sheet in it, and towards the bottom it says there will be a DLC blade available.

I would like to know this as well...I've been stalking it for three days, lol.
After my non stop refreshing of the Cutlery Shoppe Exclusive page, I eventually emailed and they said later this week.
Well this is disappointing. It's now sat morning and still no native 5 cutlery shoppe exclusive.
I called CS on Thursday. They said that they expect them next week, which contradicts what was said earlier in this thread regarding a delivery of this past week. Nonetheless, CS said to monitor their website and FB page.
Looks like they copied/pasted from the S110V version, as the description is a mishmash of steel.
Spyderco’s Native® 5 Lightweight CPM S110V combines the highly evolved form, function, and ergonomics of the Native 5 Lightweight with state-of-the-art CPM® S110V blade steel.
This knife’s full-flat-ground CPM-S90V blade is paired with a lightweight, injection-molded orange fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle that features Bi-Directional Texturing™ for an exceptionally positive grip. Its refined back lock mechanism locks the blade securely in the open position and, together with the blade’s Trademark Round Hole™ and the handle’s versatile four-position pocket clip, make both the carry and operation of this unique knife completely ambidextrous.
Edit: I let Jeff know about the error, and it's been corrected now.

I still haven't seen it plainly stated anywhere that there would be a Native 5 with an orange handle and an S90V DLC blade. Am I overlooking something?
I have to confess that one reason for my curiosity is that I'm wondering if:
In other words, if they're going to have a DLC Native in this configuration, will they also have an Orange S90V DLC Manix?

Here it is in B & W. It has also been mentioned in reference to conversation with Jeff of CS, including *later* availability of DLC version.
As for your query re: Orange Manix in DLC, I've not heard of any such contemplations nor rumors-- but that may just reflect my ignorance.
Thanks, nicked.onaut. Now I can plainly see it in black & white. And I can hope for an orange S90V DLC Manix, though it doesn't seem too likely.
