Native Question

#1

Post by Chevy »

Why was the Native not made in a PE black blade configuration? Only black blade Natives I see are the CE Lightweights. Just curious.

Probably Spyderco didn't feel good about sales. There was a small sprint, IIRC 400 pieces may be 7-8 years ago. Still see them once in a blue moon on e-bay.

My top choices Natives5, Calys, C83 Persian

They did, but as Roman mentioned, they didn't make very many of them...
