Native Chief XL - FOLDER!
I love the Native Chief, the run of Native Chiefs and I know many of you do too.
Would you be down for a 4.5 to 5 inch bladed Native Chief? I think that it would sell like hotcakes.

Re: Are You Up For A Native Chief XL?!
Probably not. The handle is gonna be like 6 inches long, I'd never carry it.

Too big for my taste. Have to ask, "Won't the police do"?
I'm all in for the one that falls between the Native and Native Chief. Guess that would be the Chief S or XS.

Re: Are You Up For A Native Chief XL?!
Yeah I'd be more interested in a Chief with a blade around 3.5"

I’m waiting for the Chief XXL folding sword myself, but only if it includes a deep carry clip.

Lol, yes.
They would have to change/reinforce the tip though. Stretching it out would reduce that very acute angle even more.

Re: Are You Up For A Native Chief XL?!
I'd like to see it happen but probably wouldn't get one. I love the Chief but a midsized model between the Native 5 and Chief would get me more excited. And with the success of the Endela and Chief I'm sure it will happen eventually.
Re: Are You Up For A Native Chief XL?!
My guess is the native chief is as big as it needs to be. Any larger and it would be past my limit.
Re: Are You Up For A Native Chief XL?!
Would I buy it? Yes, yes, yes and I see a foreshadowing divorce.

Re: Are You Up For A Native Chief XL?!
I carry the Native Chief all of the time but it is not that large of a blade. The Native Chief is unique in design and is excellent for self defense.
I always need a folder on me just in case, but I've started wearing Winter coats and sweaters. I'll be carrying a 5.5 inch fixed blade in a week or two as soon as it gets frigidly cold out.
Spyderco would attract many Cold Steel fans with a 4.75 inch Native Chief. There just aren't many folders that reach out to the 5 to 7 inch range. I'll keep buying what I can find.
Love to have a 4.75 inch Native Chief too. Multiples of them!

Re: Are You Up For A Native Chief XL?!
Nope, although I'll echo the asks for a Native sized between the 5 and Chief.... Chief type construction though.

The Cold Steel Espada would finally have some competition in the folding pocket sword segment.

Re: Are You Up For A Native Chief XL?!
I think I need to try a Native Chief first - I definitely love the Military, but I don't think I need a larger pocket knife like the Espada.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

There's already the Tatanka, which seemed to have tanked pretty hard.
