Blown away by the beauty of this collab with Abel Reels.

The anodized aluminum on this Native5 is stunningly detailed in colors and micro scales.

Wish my Dad was around to give him this.

Awesome looking knives for sure, I remember when get first came out...but wasn't the price of them around $400-$500?

Yeah $495.
Of course value is subjective, but in my opinion the price can be justified. A lot of time goes into the anodizing work. It's a much more complicated process than just painting the pattern on. Also, the aluminum scales are unique to this knife and have additional finger grooves which other Native 5's do not.

Personally, I could never bring myself to actually use it. :o lol It's too nice! I might carry it a couple times to show it off but it would primarily be a display knife for me.

I hear ya Nick! I love using all my knives, because I feel it's a waste not to do so...but when talking that price range, and handmade with the details...that would be tough! Couldn't blame anybody for having that as strictly display.

Heck, all the high rollers we have around here, I'm surprised I've never seen one posted!
