Native 5 is probably my favorite model of Spyderco
Re: Native 5 is probably my favorite model of Spyderco
Nice collection. I think I'll carry my 110V tomorrow. :cool:
- best wishes, Jazz.
Re: Native 5 is probably my favorite model of Spyderco
That's a good one! I had the dark blue S110V LW but sold it since I already have S110 in the Green G10. On my list currently is to try and get a fluted TI Native 5 at some point.Jazz wrote:Nice collection. I think I'll carry my 110V tomorrow. :cool:

Got this yesterday:
100% Perfect fit and finish.
I like that the G10 weighs a little more than the LW. It's probably in my top 3 right now

I like that it's not too big and not too small. It's small enough not to be scary but big enough to be useful. Not that the df2 isn't useful but I just feel the Native 5 to be spot on.

Re: Native 5 is probably my favorite model of Spyderco
I agree with everything you said! I just picked up a fluted TI version of the Native 5 too, happy to add it to the "family". Now if :spyder: would just go ahead and release the Maxamet version I'll be all set :DSuckSqueezeBangBlow wrote:I like that it's not too big and not too small.

Does anyone have some native 5 comparison pics, say to a Para 2 or 3, a caly 3, a delica, etc?

I sold both of my PM2s but I do have a PM3. Here is a shot I just snapped for comparison, from left to right:murphjd25 wrote:Does anyone have some native 5 comparison pics, say to a Para 2 or 3, a caly 3, a delica, etc?
Manix 2, Domino, PM3, Delica 4, Native 5

Thanks a lot for the pic! I'm having a hard time trying to decide if I need a Native or not right now..425KRS wrote:I sold both of my PM2s but I do have a PM3.

If I'm going to swap out my normal EDC (Manix2/PM2/Stretch2) for something smaller, chances are high it will be a Native5. I have the S35VN AND S110V models and hold out hope for a non-lightweight Maxamet or 52100 model.

Re: Native 5 is probably my favorite model of Spyderco
If either of your Native 5 knives have G10 handles, you can always swap that onto the Maxamet version (and as you probably already know, they havent made a native 5 in 52100 but that would be cool).wrdwrght wrote:If I'm going to swap out my normal EDC (Manix2/PM2/Stretch2) for something smaller, chances are high it will be a Native5.

I like the ones I have as they are.

Re: Native 5 is probably my favorite model of Spyderco
I definitely understand that! Can always have some custom scales made for it too, probably will be your best bet if wanting to use the Maxamet version.wrdwrght wrote:I like the ones I have as they are.

Re: Native 5 is probably my favorite model of Spyderco
Ok you guys know what to do, talk me into getting a Maxamet Native 5...

Re: Native 5 is probably my favorite model of Spyderco
Maxamet with some grey lighting strike carbon fiber scales would be pretty cool (or maybe some Ti scales), I think I might need to do that to mine :)murphjd25 wrote:Ok you guys know what to do, talk me into getting a Maxamet Native 5...
Read that Maxamet has ridiculous edge retention, check this post out: //forum.spyderco.com/viewto ... =2&t=71455

Re: Native 5 is probably my favorite model of Spyderco
I just pulled the trigger! I couldn't resist to not try Maxamet !
