Lil Native Exclusive - Rivers Edge Cutlery

[Oogie]

REC Lil Native arrived today. Great look, love the colorway. Action is a bit tight, but I’m sure it will break in nicely. I only have 2 Lil Natives, but they make a good pair.

Got mine in today! I will get some better pictures tomorrow in the daylight.

This is such a good looking little knife! :) I personally think this is the best color combo of any of the exclusives released so far. I'm grateful REC decided to make the Lil Native early in their lineup.

oh man, that's a nice colorway. Only saw this thread today haha!

Isn't REC supposed to release these again? I've really grown fond of the Lil Native and would like to get one if of this variant if they become available again. Any idea when it will happen?

Yes, they can release another batch, however, I have yet to see a rerelease for any dealer exclusive.

Knifeworks and bento box shop have re-released some of their exclusives over the years I'm pretty sure

When this knife was released, Rivers Edge Cutlery was confident that there will eventually be more. The first drop was the first of multiple.

[spydie-fan]

Yeah, but it will be years later. They have yet to re-release the Para 3 which was the first exclusive.

With news Spyderco is cutting down on exclusives until they catch back up on production models, it will now be even longer before past exclusives are re-released.

REC never said they had any intentions to rerelease the Para 3 though. (The REC Para 3 had two separate drops as is.) During the Lil Native drop though, they specifically stated that the first run being sold, wasn't even the complete first run they ordered. I would imagine the rest of the Lil Natives will be available much sooner than "years later."

Will check the date stamp on my M4 lil native when it arrives. They may have done a new run of blades which in theory could include the second portion of REC’s order.

Yep, that’s how I got one of my favorite knives, my 20CV Manix in red G10.
