If you ask me, KC should be a little ballsier and go away from boring black G10. But other than that, it's gonna be a super knife!!

Hey steelcity16, looks like your prediction that 2019 is the Year of Cru-wear is coming true. :D

One of my all time favorite models PLUS one of my all time favorite steels = HARD PASS??? :confused: :confused: :confused:
Yep, smooth G10 is a deal breaker for me. Peel Ply G10, even in black, and I am all over this and the Cruwear Manix they dropped last month.
Had the smooth Green G10 S90V Native and sold it pretty quick.

You could try different scales or do a blade swap and sell the smooth scales?steelcity16 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2019 12:58 pmOne of my all time favorite models PLUS one of my all time favorite steels = HARD PASS??? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Ordered the Delica. Wish I would have waited a day :mad: It’s OK. There will be other Natives... one of these days. My M4 is treating me right these days.
Had the smooth S90V, and gave it away.

Re: KnifeCenter CPM-CRUWEAR Native 5 with smooth black G10
The smooth G10 on the Manix is actually awesome. When I bought mine, I just assumed that I would get some aftermarket scales. Nope, I love the way the smooth grips feel with the spot-on ergos of the Manix in my hand. Feels almost perfect. Plus it makes getting the knife in and out of your pocket easier.
With that said, I will be skipping this one.

Had to restrain myself from buying two. Yikes.
Re: KnifeCenter CPM-CRUWEAR Native 5 with smooth black G10
Really wish I didn't order a set of scales for my Manix version of this knife...I'm yet to own a Native 5, and this one would be perfect! Trying to be a bit more diligent on my knife spending...this is a very hard pass for me

Man, it has been a speedy month or two. :eek: I guess it is time to thin the herd a little.

Re: KnifeCenter CPM-CRUWEAR Native 5 with smooth black G10
$150 is an awfully steep price for a Native, especially compared to the $130 for the bigger Manix 2. Sure, they say the backlock is more difficult (i.e. expensive) to make, but a backlock is NOT worth more to me.
I still like it and hope it sells out quickly before I give in to temptation. It really is a bummer, so I think I'll stick with my smooth green S90V Native.

It's the same price as a "base model" black g10 / S30v variant. I think the price is reasonable.attila wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2019 1:28 pm$150 is an awfully steep price for a Native, especially compared to the $130 for the bigger Manix 2.

Thanks for the reality check. I didn't realize that the price was the same, but it's still too pricey for me for what we get.Enactive wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2019 1:35 pmIt's the same price as a "base model" black g10 / S30v variant.
