I can’t believe this is back on page 3!!! I went looking just to make sure someone posted it when I saw the announcement on IG. In for the show :D
I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been more hype for this one. Not sure but maybe because this one's coming so soon after the LW dropped people are a little less enthusiastic about it? We'll see how it goes when they go on sale Friday but I think it'll be fairly easy to get one if put a little effort into it
I feel like the main cast on this forum lately (myself included) have been trying to keep the hype to a minimum in these threads as the date approaches to slide the thread back into page 2 and beyond so the unscrupulous flippers randomly browsing the forum don't know or forget about the drop in order improve our odds of actually getting one. Even on the day of most drops people haven't been bumping the thread up until a few minutes before. I didn't think the Native LW was hyped too much and it sold out in ~3 minutes. I don't see this one lasting much more than that given the limited quantity and the Native being an iconic model and the first and only 4V G10 Native. So if by fairly easy you mean you have a leisurely 3 minutes to get your order in rather than 30 seconds, then perhaps.
Good luck to all on Friday! I already have a meeting on my work calendar to prevent someone from scheduling an actual meeting. Gotta focus! :D
I watch IG and belong to 3 of the FB groups dedicated to Spyderco. I know a lot of people watch this forum but I'm pretty sure a lot more are seeing all the different posts on IG and FB. Plenty of people are aware that this is dropping on Friday.
When I say fairly easy I mean I don't think it'll sell out as fast as the PM2 did. I'm aware that the run was much smaller but I still think this can be had fairly easily as long as those who want it have their ducks in a row.

Must.... Resist... Impulse... Buy.... We'll see what happens. It's already bookmarked on my browser, and I have several timer alerts set up. It doesn't look good for the bank account.

Definitely in since the G10 Native is one of my top 5 Golden models. I would have liked the linered version better paired with 4V since I can just grab my 4V LW if I want a lighter knife. But that is neither here nor there.
I am guessing these will be gone in under 2 minutes. Better be quick on the draw!! :D

I've had G10 linered versions and I do like them but I've been wanting to try one of the linerless G10 models. I like the fluted CF version so I assume I'll like this one as well.

They are all great. I'm cool with the linerless, but I would really like a Cruwear, 4V, or 3V linered model at some point. A Cru-carta Native would do the trick as I am assuming they would use the linered version as the base.

So I did it. I put my order in 15 seconds after the drop just like I said I wouldn't. I suppose I may have to thin the herd as a result of my actions. This will be my first exclusive primary market purchase, so I am pretty pumped about that.

Looked like it was about 2 and a half minutes. A little off I guess. Who else got one??

Well that was frustrating. Browser issue and bam, sold out. Geez Spyderco really should require higher minimums. That was too fast.

I snagged one, too. In the end I couldn't resist completing the g10 native models in this series - they'll be ones I hang onto a long time, I have no doubt. I hope everyone got one that wanted one!

If you didnt get one you may get lucky later this afternoon. Last drop I remember a few getting reposted probably from orders for more than one or maybe bots getting caught

Silky smooth, the complete opposite of the DLT purple PM2 disaster
Great work SNK!
