50th anniversary, it's a Native !

[Ramonade]

Oh yeah, we have confirmation from the byte, it's a somptuous Native 5 ! I'll buy 2 if I can !

Happy New Year everyone, may 2026 bring you success in your endeavours, and health to you and your close ones.

I can't wait!!! It's going to be a very special knife!!!

The teaser already looks phenomenal!

Happy new year to everyone. This will be a great anniversary knife!

[Infinite Zero]

Yay one I can carry!

Is that a carbon fiber bolster I see??

I'm going to guess jigged bone handle and stainless or brass bolsters.

You don’t know that. I hope it’s a different model

P.S Hopefully a Lil’Native but not a Native… again

Far, far better than that!

I don't want to spoil anything but that bolster alone will be a major part of the appeal for this knife!

[Paul Ardbeg]

Very cool to see bolsters!! Can't wait to see what it is

[Danke]

I would absolutely buy that as a Native, as long as it's under $500!

That Ed Schempp Damascus is very special!

One thing that stood out to me was how far up the scale the clip extended. It ended under the spydie hole. So, either the handle is shorter or the clip is quite long. Just going by that, it seems shorter than a Lil' Native, maybe similar to the Dragonfly, though the shape is different. Edit: Or, as mentioned, it's like the regular Native which has the longer clip.

As a big fan of the Native I might be biased, but I can recognize a Native 5 from far, far away

The clip on the Native 5 ends there, I forgot to mention Native 5 in the title but that is what I meant :)

Here is my Native salt at a similar angle for comparison.

Something similar would be incredible

Oh snap! I scoured the catalog for clues and totally missed the cover. Looks awesome.

Yup I see some damascus bolsters. Happy New Year!
