Native 5 - the perfect pocket knife?

[Bdubs808]

I have the Native 5 LW in S35VN and its really sweet. Though I never carry it because I hate the pocket clip, and my Sage 5 carries so much better. I've had my eyes on that S110V for a while now, to complete the Golden 4 Horsemen (in Blurple G10: Millie, PM2, Manix 2). Anyway, earlier this year I saw that SFO was offering the 2015 Forum S90V on sale for $95 and I'm still kicking myself for not pulling the trigger :eek: I was distracted by all the HAP40 Seki models dropping :D

I just got one last week. It's amazing.

I've had 6 of them, still have 5... The contoured handles on this one make it my favorite :) Still hoping they put out the non-40th fluted CF version.

I have few Natives as well and love them. NAtives are very comfortable in my hand. I carry 3 of them. Most used is 2013 Forum knife.


modification to the blade wasn't intentional. This is just happened. It is in my pocket now. Broke down few boxes today :)

Ha! ...and they say S110V is hard to grind.

You just need to have a propriety stones and use them frequently :)

I was tempted to wait and see if a Maxamet version was to be released, but after seeing the bump in price for the Manix 2 in Maxamet, I descided that S110V was "good enough" for EDC . Plus, I don't own any S110V, but I do have the Maxamet Mule Team (love it by the way).

I have to agree that S110V is pretty good, at least at this time

I carried my S110V LW version this evening while out on a run--couldn't even feel it in my gym shorts. This is my go-to exercise knife..

I have a few Native5s. I love that the tail end doesn't painfully dig into my (fat) side when I do waistband carry, like so many other knives do (e.g. Delica). I've always disliked how the opening hole is partially obscured by the handle, though. Edit: I also forgot that I hate how the ricasso/choil interferes with certain types of cutting. I remember cutting cardboard with one of my N5s and having that big stupid thing get stuck in the material and grind everything to a halt. As short as the sharpened portion of the blade is, it's hard to avoid that sometimes. Thanks for the thread. I had forgotten why I haven't been carrying my N5s.

I've had my eye on the Natives for a while. They occupy a space size wise somewhere in between my 2 favorites, the pm2 and the Dfly. Think I'll make the Maxamet native my first when it drops.

Got the Native 5 G10 after trying out several Spydercos in a brick and mortar store. Had my mind set out to buy something else before I got there but ended up with the Native 5. Love it. It works for me.
