Thanks for the pics UK Ken. Don't seem to see many of the engraved SS any more.
First they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not stand up, because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Ken

My favorite :spyder: model!!

You have a great collection of Natives. Makes my little tribe of 6 look really small.

Good Luck on your search for the missing family members! The blue G-10 BladeForums model is one of the very best Spyderco has ever manufactured - I carry one every day.

Hi Ken,
Nice Native collection. The Native was my 1st :spyder: and still is one of my favourite.
Does anybody here have a picture of the enduring freedom Native, as I've never seen one.

Ken...

These aren't legal to carry in the uk, right? Do you carry them anyway, or just collect?

I guess on the bright side, if you can't carry them, you don't have to worry about scratching or losing them. :p

The Natives that are in the photos are my collection knives and will never be used. I do have three others that are in my EDC rotation. As far as the UK law is concerned (which we have done to death on other threads) I have a good reason for carrying them. :)

Cheers, Ken

Ken,
Great Pics. I did notice you were missing one of the BFC ones. My son has been carrying his for a few years now. I just had to send it in for a tip regrind. I wonder how many of these they see at W&R :D

UK KEN, thanks for the pics. That is one great Native collection! The Native III PE was my introduction to Spyderco. I have since acquired 18 more Spydies with 8 of them different Natives. The Native is my favorite Spyderco model. The pics on your website is what got me into collecting the Natives for myself.
