What exactly concerns you with it? It seems to me to be authentic. I’d be surprised if someone faked a fluted Ti Native. Especially if they used titanium for the scales.

I’ve had a few natives pass through my hands, and a fluted Ti mili. I don’t see anything that causes concern.

Just a heads up...there are definitely counterfeits of this knife and they look very close to the real thing. I don't have time to search for references at the moment but I suggest you do a search YouTube

Looks real to me. I personally only buy knives from authorized dealers and never buy used items.

It own the native 5 Ti too.
Your knife looks legit. The backspacer/backlock looks flush against the handle scales. Clean looking in both open and closed positions. That's makes this knife so impressive and attractive to me :) Enjoy the knife!

Thanks! It's my first spyderco. I ask because I don't have a store that sells spyderco in my country. And I saw, under magnifier lens, that the logo with the spider has o fine holo around, almost goldish. I can't photograph this. Yours is the same?
