Thanks! Next question, how long between the CC release and the general release? I've really been looking forward to this one.

Usually a week, maybe two weeks.

I’m a little surprised to see this in S35VN, they must be using up the existing stock on hand.

Why do you say that? S35VN is the standard steel for the Native 5 series.

They recently announced switching to s30v.

S35VN was the standard steel for Native5 but per the byte March 2018 newsletter they're moving from S35VN to S30V for future regular Native5 models.

"After exhaustive in-house performance testing and tons of end-user feedback, we have also decided to change the blade steel of the Native 5 from its current CPM S35VN™ to CPM S30V®. This rolling change will be implemented as we exhaust our current inventory of parts, so some versions of the Native 5 will complete the switch sooner than others. However, the change will ultimately affect all standard G-10 and FRN-handled versions of this popular model."

Also, regular Native5 models except for S110V will be linerless.
