Used my Native 5 Salt to trim out the corners of a vinyl patio door frame before putting a new insulated glass unit back in it.
The LC200N blade has been awesome, wish I could say the same for the cheap plastic handle....Live and Learn. LOL!!!

Nice!
Not a fan of FRN?
I'm sure FRN has a place and understand the whole anti corrosion thing, it just doesn't hold up well for me. I've been using this native 5 salt for about three months and it is missing some chunks of FRN as well as having a hair line crack. I find the handle also has to much flex as I'm using it. The LC200n has been great!!!

The G10 with steel liners doesn't give me these problems. Just my experience.

Gotcha, I've not had those experiences (yet :o ) but that's not the first time I've heard report of those issues. Have you considered doing a blade swap with a linerless G10 handle? That might get you what you want. I don't have direct experience with swapping Native blades but I'd imagine it would work.

Someone on the forum recently mentioned the idea of swapping a LC200N blade into a titanium handle. That's a bit expensive for me, but I'd love to see it :) .
Well...I made a blade swap....just not exactly what you suggested. :D

It’s even more fun when you let them soak up some rum or vodka ;)

Just put em in a bowl, fill the bowl to just the top of whatever gummies are in the bowl, cover and put em in the fridge till they have absorbed it all.

Nice dye job!

Thank you! The dye has worn nicely since I dyed it over a year ago!

Yes!
I did that today too. Had a pile maybe eight feet long and up to my waist ( I'm 6'1") when I was done, and now the path is clear for all to ride and enjoy :)

I deadheaded some Black Eyed Susans with my PM 2/52100 to plant some of the seeds.

I was really surprised when I cut the stems. There was a very sticky sap that got on the blade and my fingers. It’s sticky like pine sap and even has a faint odor like it. Neither plain water nor Dawn detergent would dissolve it so I used Breakfree oil on a cotton swab to dissolve the buildup.
