Update on Native 5 Cruwear Micarta

#1

Post by MarkCO »

The Native 5 Crucarta was introduced in Reveal 16 from 2024 yet no word on when it will be released. The 15V G10 Native 5 was just released and it was from Reveal 17. I heard there was maybe some delay due to full liners liners - given the micarta scales?

I'll be all over a crucarta N5 if it has full liners. I recently got a NOS N5 in S35VN with full liners and it has quickly become one of my favorites. It's just so rock solid.

Trust that it will show up when it is ready. There's also other stuff that's "more behind". The serrated UKPKs are from 2022 and 2023.

Follow this thread, it will eventually show up.

There’s never any word on when anything will be released. That is not how Spyderco works.

It’ll be ready when it’s ready.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

As far as I remember the weight listed in the reveal was not indicative of liners being used. That could have been a typo though. Or I just have my numbers mixed up..
