Native 5 Salt G10

[Sumdumguy]

I'm sitting here looking at the Native 5 Salt lightweight, wishing for the exact knife but in full lined, g10 goodness.

Total lc200n construction, like the Caribbean.

Please Sal? Make it happen oh wise one, I will give you all of my pennies!

[Sharp Guy]

It never hurts to ask but, seeing as they just announced that they're going linerless with the G10 versions, I wouldn't count on seeing a new version with liners.

I’d like to see a salt g10 version without liners. Sign me up!

[Sumdumguy]

They can't take away the lined version can they?! Some of us require a knife that is as stout as possible.
The abuses my knives go through will destroy a linerless knive in days. I tried out an Endura once, it endured 2 days before the handle cracked(exploded?) I switched to a fixed blade, but it was too cumbersome. Finally, I bought a PM2 and have been using those exclusively for the past few years. It is now time to retire the old mule and try out a new blade shape.

I beg of you, don't take the liners away!

From what I've heard (read) they're already shipping the linerless G10 S30V base version. Good news for you is they're still going to make the blurple S110V knife with liners. It's not a Salt knife but S110V is pretty stainless and should serve you well.

Yea, that's the one im looking at. I'm currently using an s110v PM2, I've been more than satisfied with it. I just want me some lc200n!

Ditto, that would be the ultimate for me. If there was one knife I could have Spyderco make it would be a full salt version of a fully lined G10 Native 5. I'd love it in translucent dayglow yellow G10 with black/dlc coated liners, hardware, and blades. I LOVE the look of the black against the Jade G10 from BHQ, and I think it would look awesome against the translucent yellow as well. I'd be happy with H1 or LC200N or both. Serrated H1 for sure. Either one in PE.

A big +1 to that :D
Linerless yellow G-10, Black hardware, PE DLC LC200N, sold.

[Sumdumguy]

I don't personally like the black hardware. Just make the liners and hardware plain lc200n like the blade.
Other than that, perfect.

Please no on the full liners. That is where corrosion is most likely to happen, water getting trapped behind liners. And if lc200n is used in the liners as well then at the very least it is one more place to attract gunk.

I have grown to hate liners in general. If G10 or FRN is of sufficient thickness/proper design then there is no need for liners, they add nothing except more expense/complication/dirt attraction. They are not adding the strength people think they add.

+1 to all that :spyder:

Hi Sumdumguy, Nord,

Welcome to our forum. The question of liners or no liners is always challenging. Difficult, if not impossible to please all.

Go for the one you feel is best and let the haters hate. After all your knowledge is worth more than ours combined :)

[Sumdumguy]

Just make them all!!! :D

There's always the new Shaman if you must have full liners. Doesn't the G10 Manix 2 also still have full liners?

Can the blades on the G10 and FRN Natives be swapped? If so, you couldn't you make a franken knife out of the two models you want? LC200N blade in the lined G10 handles; coat the liners in Eezox or a similar lubricant, dye the G10 scales - if going blurple to yellow is possible. Certainly you could sell off the S110V blade and yellow FRN handles.

The voice of reason! :P

[steelcity16]

What is the street date for the Native 5 Salt? Do we know anything yet? Even a guess at a month?

[jacala]

Sometime in June.

I was searching for a spyderco Native Salt today and I see they make one, but it only seems to come in the yellow variant.

I would Love to see a blacked out native salt in LC200N! Serrated... I'd have one on me right now if it existed!

I think the Native is one of the best functioning knives I've found. Good size and shape. Just help me out with the knife I need for my fishing trips and edc in humid South Louisiana!
