thurin, Is it just me or is the blade grind finish on this knife much more fine than most satin knives? Do you have another satin blade you can compare it to? I've never seen a factory Spyderco grind that practically reflected an image of the trees above you like that.
Also with the G10, is the texture in between the diamonds the typical peel ply G10 texture or is it something different? Can't really tell from pics. I'm curious to see how much more/less this G10 texture wears on jeans.

The G10 feels comparable to the G10 on my PM2. Running my thumb over it I don't really feel the cross hatch.Evil D wrote:thurin, Is it just me or is the blade grind finish on this knife much more fine than most satin knives?

Not sure if these clutter up this thread or not (I'll move them if you'd like), but here's a comparison of the finish on my Forum, Sage 1, PM2. The Forum knife does seem more reflective.

Can't wait for mine, this will be my first Native as well!

Does the finish look or feel any finer to you? Can't really tell from pics other than the Native looking more mirror like.thurin wrote:The G10 feels comparable to the G10 on my PM2. Running my thumb over it I don't really feel the cross hatch.

All I'm thinking is taking a Coarse DMT stone to it and getting a nice aggressive edge. I have mine shipping to work so i can have it immediately. Pics will follow of course and this shall be my reserved spot. Just one for now i was too busy using the K390 mule to take pictures. This saw some use today too though.
Well I haven't got pics of mine yet but I've taken them out and examined them. One of them is a little funky...has some chips/dings in the edge and the cutout for the lock bar is really uneven on each side (one side is much larger than the other). This one will be the user. My son fell in love with it too, green is his favorite color (I must admit I like this green much more than I thought I would too) so the second one may be going to him after all.

To me, the almost mirror-like appearances on the blade appears to be similar to CTS-BD1.
