The carbon fiber/S90V Native 5 is a nice looking knife, and would make a great user. K390 is known for good edge holding, but S90V is rated even better, for both edge holding and corrosion resistance, although S90V toughness is not as good as K390. In my opinion the carbon fiber scales feel amazing, slightly rough, in a good way to enhance gripping the knife.Palestrina wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2024 3:07 am...
I've looked up the carbon fiber S90V, but I'm afraid I would barely use it, as it is so special.

If I would start out with the Native 5 I would probably go for the basic S30V LW or the SPY27. Which one would you recommend?
Retail price is about $300 USD, and this dealer ships internationally:
