2013 Spyderco Forum Knife Native5 - C41GPGR5
I'll stick with my prediction of 300:
1) No matter what you do, some folks will be pi$$ed off. That feedback has to be taken with a grain of salt.
2) Moderate to higher priced forum knives have sold poorly in the past.
3) the 2009 Forum knife was $65, this one is $150. If this was a Para 2, I'd run 600+ without thinking twice, but for a Native it's tought to tell whether the recent exclusive or longer term forum knife experience is more likely to apply.
4) S110V is a bear to work with. The trouble getting enough production time on the grinders on top of the other uncertainties argues for a smaller run.

Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

I don't plan on making friends here, but, **** happens.
I'm banned from eBay and blade forums, so I won't be reselling, I was planning on giving one away, but, **** with it, maybe I won't. :o
Anyways, I'm sure SPY has enuff for all of us, plus a throusand.
I hope that there will be more than 300. I know that this will be a hardship for our beloved company, but this is what they do to keep spydernuts happy :)Sequimite wrote:I'll stick with my prediction of 300:

I think that N5 is hot hot as para2, but it is getting there. It is amazing knife. But I never thought that I will love it that much until I started to EDC it. I always thought that I need 3.5" blade, now i know that I don't as long as I have my Native5.
Of cause I am, but I think that you too. How is Moonglow going? :)Donut wrote:Roman is going to be happy. :)
I knew that you will be with me on Native5, but what take you so long to post. What you were busy with? :) :D :D :D :Dkbuzbee wrote:He won't be alone.
Very cool.

We need this knife now.

This is great news Kristi. Thanks for all the work you and the Spyderco crew did to make this happen! I hope I can get one!
