I'm really torn on this one. I've been planning on adding a Lil' Native to the collection, but I've been eyeing a serrated one instead of PE to spice things up. Yet I really like M4, and will take it over S30V any day of the week (There are many steels that I will take over S30V, granted), so a chance to get one in it is tempting. What to do, what to do...

Great little knife but I greatly prefer the backlock version. Judging by the lack of backlock sprints/exclusives, I'm in the minority there. Good hunting to those who want one. These blade hq exclusives tend to sell out quickly.

A few bucks cheaper than the S30V even — I think I’ll get one of these.

at this rate, m4 is going to be more common than s30v.
That would be amazing and wonderful.
i guess for some people. i prefer steels that don't hate oxygen and water.

I’m with you on this one! I would really like to see BHQ start a stainless exclusive line with a different scale color. I feel the only ones who have to have this combo are ones who have others in this exclusive and are compelled to expand their collection.

Huh, good point, I never noticed that until I checked and compared the two on BHQ... $3.50 cheaper than standard S30V. Nice!

Just grabbed one. I've been waiting for the Lil native slip joint but this will tide me over for a bit.

I like the backlock better as well. Still a mystery why the didn't use the wire clip for both and standard jimping like all other natives.

Did the Lil Native comp lock ever get bushing CQI?

I have always thought the lil native was a bit overpriced compared to what you get in other models. But this one was cheaper and you get M4. I have had no lil natives in my collection until this one arrives. I am anxious to see if it feels as good as so many claim.

No back lock, no care…I had this in the cart and looked down at my Wharncliffe Dfly and just couldn’t pull trigger. That knife has stifled my impulse buys a lot

That's a great feeling when you get to that point in knife collecting! No longer feeling like you NEED every new exclusive that hits the market. Heck, the rate that exclusives are popping up lately...they don't even feel that "exclusive" anymore.

I’m the same. Additionally I also don’t have any M4 so looking to try out a couple new things on this purchase.

You all make me laugh. You guys lack of interest is fine with me. I take them without refreshing every second. Makes it easier for me. I’m glad you all are satisfied but doubt I ever will. I want them all haha.

You must be new to the game, it wears off once you realize you have 7 or 8 of the same knife...just in a different colored G10 and steel that you likely can't distinguish from 3 or 4 others you already have. Your time will come.

Yeah I checked the page on bhq and saw it was still available and just didn't have the heart to buy it. Haven't carried my Lil Native in months after carrying it almost every day for like 2 years. Congrats to everyone that gets one tho. Fine knife indeed.

Have been collecting for a decent while. Admittedly newer to exclusive collecting but I do not usually get both dlc and satin models or like in the SMKW get the same knifes with just different color scales. But lil native, shaman, native chief are all very small collections unlike the like pm2. The rapid pace of late is starting to take its toll tho. I do use most but there are a few I’ve kept back for a rainy day.
