I think the Deka counts, and I'm actually pretty into that SMKW colorway, *and* I've been considering a Deka since IMO Hogue is making a better-value bugout essentially, so I'm a *tiny* bit sad I missed that. That being said, point taken.

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
I had an answer but it got zapped when my connection dropped. Others have covered my point, so I won't clutter with now redundant posts.metaphoricalsimile wrote: ↑Mon Apr 11, 2022 10:44 amHas a mass-manufactured knife company successfully released a magnacut knife to market yet, because a quick google search is showing nothing.JRinFL wrote: ↑Mon Apr 11, 2022 9:23 amI'm starting to get concerned about the very slow release of this and other announced products from Spyderco. I understand about the pandemic and supply chain issues, but other companies have been able to get new products to market. One hopes all is well at Spyderco.

Tactile Knife Company (model Bexar), Bradford Knives, White River Knives (coming out with a 200 piece Magnacut M1 model soon), Bark River Knives (model Scout - last batch is Magnacut), Lionsteel.
The steel is now available even in Europe.
It may well be that Spyderco is processing even larger volumes and thus it takes longer. Most other larger-ish knife companies don't run their knives in multiple higher end steels, so we are unlikely to see ColdSteel or CRKT knvies in Magnacut anytime soon. Let's see about Benchmade.

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
I'll have to keep an eye out for the M1. Been considering one of those for a while now, magancut would get me to finally order one if the price is reasonable.Matus wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 3:10 amTactile Knife Company (model Bexar), Bradford Knives, White River Knives (coming out with a 200 piece Magnacut M1 model soon), Bark River Knives (model Scout - last batch is Magnacut), Lionsteel.

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
^what he said! At this point an M1 backpacker in magnacut would be more appealing to me for actual hiking/backpacking than an N5 folder.
Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
PM me if you need a link. The only places that seem to offer M1 in Magnacut (preoder) are in Germany for some reason. The price is ... not cheap.

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
Welp I guess I ordered my first magnacut knife and it's not a spyderco
Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
Hope it will be available for my birthday (September...)

Still holding out for a Delica :)
Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
I'm bummed I missed the first drop on the SMKW Carbon Deka, probably my #1 grail knife right now... Wound up picking up my first Shaman at a brick and mortar store a few days later, so that has eased the pain some, lol.metaphoricalsimile wrote: ↑Mon Apr 11, 2022 11:40 amI think the Deka counts, and I'm actually pretty into that SMKW colorway, *and* I've been considering a Deka since IMO Hogue is making a better-value bugout essentially, so I'm a *tiny* bit sad I missed that.

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
Any updates on this? Thought it was supposed to be released months ago?

Same here. No idea what the delay is at this point.

I probably shouldn't tell you that there was a second drop on the Sun-Zero MagnaCut Deka a few days ago...Gtscotty wrote: ↑Fri Apr 15, 2022 2:29 amI'm bummed I missed the first drop on the SMKW Carbon Deka, probably my #1 grail knife right now...

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
I’m going back to Hawaii in July for vacation. I was hoping that the Native Magnacut was going to be my EDC while there. I was also hoping to surprise my Dad with one too. I doubt any of that will be the case now.
Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
Any news on this release?
Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
Is it finally available? Says “add to cart” and not “pre order”:

Edit: when I click add to cart the page hangs. This work for anyone?

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
Maybe a glitch? Only says "Pre-Order" for me.
Because desolate places allow us to breathe. And most people don't even know they're out of breath.

Only preorder for me too.
Really hope the delay has to do with serrations
