got my native 5 today-first off let me state i didnt like the first native i had that much-fine knife just didnt wow me

decided to try a native5 because of the bushing pivot and g-1:cool:

very glad i did-this feels as solid as the sage3-fits my hand well-

to make this quality at this price in america shows just how well spyderco can crunch numbers in these trying times

thanx sal

I'm impressed enough by mine that I'm already thinking about what kind of wood to have someone replace the G-10 scales with.

To OP,
I am glad that you like N5. I love it.

Paul, do not forget to post pictures :p :)
Can you imagine this knife with bolsters? and Coco, Ironwood, jigged bone scales :p :p :p :p

I know i'm probably the minority here, but i miss the signature swedge. I'm waiting for someone to have one custom ground. I can't wait to handle one though, i'll probably buy one. Me and the Native go way back.

I agree the N5 is a hands-down winner. Seems like a close relative to the old Mini-Manix; it's got some heft, it's just as lean, smaller in size and slimmer in it's proportions. Kinda mean looking! -P

For sure, I can convince myself that I will pass up on a particular model, only to have a picture or two pop and then here I am thinking about it again. It's a sickness.
