Lil Native Light Weight?
Re: Lil Native Light Weight?
Looking at the photos again, I noticed that there is a solid area in the frn pattern where the lock pivot is, BUT no apparent pin or screw on either side. I sure hope there is an internal steel pin in there!
Re: Lil Native Light Weight?
I don’t know if the natives have an internal stop pin like that chaparral, but what I’m referring to is the pivot that the lockbar pivots on! Usually it’s either an external screw or pin. There doesn’t appear to be an external pin/screw on the lil lw! I’m hoping that it’s an internal steel pivot pin and not some crazy piece of frn
Re: Lil Native Light Weight?
i can't imagine spyderco would trust frn alone to handle that job. i assume it's an internal pin. maybe that's the answer to not having a rivet that keeps us from being able to disassemble the knife or a screw that costs more money unnecessarily?
keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.

Re: Lil Native Light Weight?
Where did you see both sides? I'd like to check that out I've only seen photos of one side.
That blank spot looks just like the receiving side with a metal insert on the Native 5 LW, where they use screws just from one side.
My speculation, based on the photos I've seen, is that they went from a stepped pin lockbar pivot to a one sided screw with a threaded insert on the receiving side.
Edited to add, i'm curious how they've done it if there is no exposed hardware at the lockbar pivot. Maybe non threaded inserts for a pin?

If you check out the knife center Instagram video from the shot show thread, they turn the knife over showing the other side.Enactive wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 8:06 pmWhere did you see both sides? I'd like to check that out I've only seen photos of one side.

Re: Lil Native Light Weight?
The N5 LW uses a stepped pin, they probably shortened it so it wouldn't protrude through the scales. If there is a thickness difference in the scales they might be trying to make the area stronger.

Re: Lil Native Light Weight?
Definitely waiting on this for sure. Of course it wold be nice to have something different than s30v. Like maybe Magnacut or Spy27. Of course I will still be buying one if s30v.
Re: Lil Native Light Weight?
^ it's BD1N according to this: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=93988
Re: Lil Native Light Weight?
Bumping this topic to contribute this video I found while researching the Lil Native LW.
Is there any word on when we might see this knife released? I wanted to get myself a Spyderco as a graduation gift and have been following this design for awhile.

Re: Lil Native Light Weight?
That looks like it could easily become a Salt.
Re: Lil Native Light Weight?
And would sell twice as fast with a Wharnie blade
Re: Lil Native Light Weight?
Have we seen this one out in the wild yet?

Re: Lil Native Light Weight?
Just bumped into this one yesterday,woke me from sleep after almost 9 months of not getting anything and firmly deciding to stop buying knives.

They fixed everything they were missing with G10 version (wire clip, double jimping)
How is this not getting more attention?
Sal, please do this one in Magnacut soon, design shows promising future.

Re: Lil Native Light Weight?
I'm definitely buying one Chief LW and one Lil'Native LW in SPY27.
The Lil'Native LW looks more like a Native than its G10 counterpart

In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

Re: Lil Native Light Weight?
Oh I’m definitely getting one and hopefully another when it becomes a salt, and as much as I hate to admit it the Lil’ Native LW is probably gonna compete with my Dfly for the starting lineup…thin blade stock,back lock,wire clip,FRN,better ergos,magnacut

Re: Lil Native Light Weight?
Let's just hope this starts with the next reveal, not in a year or so.
