May be it is not as attractive as it used to be, but is my first knife with Spyderhole. Bought is walmart for $40, just to see what is S30V about. Was used and carried for about six month, that became the car knife. Due stupidity I lent it two two people. One of them spilled some acid on it. I scatch-brited. The second, I even have no idea, what did he do, but when he returned it, edge was .020" wide. So I touch it up on a belt sander with 220 grit and than sharpened on sharpmaker. I became much more selective on who I can lend my knife to :rolleyes:

Image

These are my FFG Natives. I strongly prefer FFG to hollow grind on this knife. Hopefully I will have several more N5 before end of the year. Couple Forum knives, one CF and hopefully lightweights. Natives, especially Native5 fit my hand just perfect. I love it's weight and the handle, which is a little thicker than on Native4. Also screw construction allow to put custom scales quite easy.

Image

The favorite blade is on 2009 Forum. A little swedge is not deal breaker, but I prefer blades without it. Also I can only wish that N5 would have a low riding wire clip like Calys, still not a deal breaker. I love my Persians and they sticking out of the pocket even more.
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf"

My top choices Natives5, Calys, C83 Persian

This is on the para 2 but same concept. Bent the ends to fit between the existing screws and tightened 'em down.

My wife hates it. :(

GTPowers - I just modded it to look like a Blackhawk (older model). Got the idea from the Deacon.
