I have to agree , the whole package really appeals to me . I like how deep the blade sits in the scales and the blade has sort of a retro feel to it . Since I’m an Illinois guy Orange works for me if you know what I mean . Thanks Naperville .

I've carried my S90V Native Chief since the day I received it. Native Chiefs are awesome knives.
It is difficult to design a top flight self defence knife. The Native Chief series ranks very high up there to me.

Re: Native Chief CTS-XHP on the fence
thanks! it's my favorite knife. the only thing i don't like is the pins, which is why i want to grab up a g10 manix so badly. i think i might wait for one in spy27 or magnacut though.Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 7:43 amThat Manix2 is a beauty! Really like those scales . Found one on eBay , the price was scary . Just curious what were you doing behind the waterfall ? Biology project maybe ?
that waterfall is one of my favorite hikes on oahu. we went often and always took our visitors. it's a fairly easy hike, so our kids could manage it, but it was also a little less popular and a little more wild than the hikes that the tourists stick to. here is a picture of the falls from my last visit.
keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.

Thank you for the clarification!

Re: Native Chief CTS-XHP on the fence
This is just a friendly warning from experience, do not handle a Native Chief in S90V with the CF scales. Can you say addictive?

Re: Native Chief CTS-XHP on the fence
I think it carries very well. A little awkward in my hand as I am just starting out with it. I'll give it some time and see if that changes for me.

I hope that we get to see the Native Chief in at least 5 more steels. I'll buy every one of them.

Re: Native Chief CTS-XHP on the fence
Native Chief is a great design. It keeps Mitary fans happy. We can alternate between the two and have plenty of edge.
