Native 5 lw with SPY27?

[ugaarguy]

Im curious what the other spy27 prices are going to be? The current 2 lightweights are about the same as the g10 s30v alternatives of the same knives.

That's definitely the other edge of the sword of using a proprietary alloy: It's probably not going to be produced in enough quantity to get the economy of scale to bring the price down. The MAP prices still aren't that bad.

Looking forward to this steel, specifically in the Native lightweight platform. Hopefully someday I'll get a Military in SPY27 for my back pocket to match.

Any news on when this model will be released?

On IG, Knife Center posted a pic of a Native 5 lightweight with the cobalt blue scales and SPY27 steel. That wasn't in the reveal, so it looks like we'll have other models in the new steel to look forward to in the near future.

Thanks for the hint, Julia! :)

Though I am not interested in the Native LW specifically, this, as you said, gives hope for more SPY27 models generally to choose from...

Well, they're saying Golden models for this steel. So, your beloved back lock but with a 3.2 mm thick blade in the Native / Lil' Native, or a UKPK with a 2.5 mm thick blade? :p

You´re basically saying that due to SPY27 being limited to Golden knives, not many of my favorite models will come in that steel?

Well, you´re right. :o
It´s Seki models that ususally combine most of the features I prefer.
Still, I´d really like to try a Shaman or Native Chief, and it´s not exactly as if I´d DISlike PM2 orf Millie.. so, still enough to choose from should these models be made in SPY27... :)

I wonder if SPY27 is actually limited to Golden, or just for this current reveal it is only Golden?? I would think that we will see SPY27 Seki knives eventually. Maybe ZDP-189 will be retired and the Seki production knives with be VG-10, K390, and SPY27. Or maybe they will just do SPY27 as a large sprint series in the Endura family. I definitely think we will see some in Seki though for sure. The Seki knives are my favorites as well, so I would buy an Endura/Delica/Endela/Dragonfly/Police LW.

I would think that we will see SPY27 Seki knives eventually.

SPY-27 is their signature steel, and the Seki knives are some of their most iconic knives. I would think that the two will converge at some point in the future. When? I have no idea, but I don't think it will be soon.

Nice, I wonder how long until a G10 Military?

[steelcity16]

I hope they offer DLC variations of all of the SPY27 knives once they ramp up production. It would look great with those blue scales!

Reveal #6 is nice and all, but I'm still waiting for the Spy27 Native 5 to hit dealer shelves

Yep me to too! Also waiting for the Spy27 Mule and for the Para3 LW in Spy27 to restock! Let’s get the Spy27 moving please :)

Just received notification from Spyderco it is shipping to dealers.

[mikey177]

^ Thank you, Spyderco!

[sherbert4537]

It looks like you can add to your cart on the Spyderco Factory Outlet website. I wonder how long before it shows up at the different dealers? Days? Weeks?

[belligerentfool]

River's Edge Cutlery has these in stock. :)
