Anyone else excited for the Native 5 Carbon Fiber??
Anyone else excited for the Native 5 Carbon Fiber??
I don't own any other Natives but this one seems like a must have.
Will the CF be like that on the Chap or the Caly? Or neither?
This will also be my first knife with S110v
Sorry if this has been covered already, I searched and didn't see anything.
Any ETA on a release?
Thanks!

I am not a CF guy, wanted a native light weight specially the brown one KC has, but I learned they are coming out with a new Native 5 light weight soon. So I am holding funds to purchase that one and that one does get me excited.

I thought I read that the carbon fiber is peel ply which is my favourite type. I'm very excited for this knife as it will be my first Native. I don't know when it may be released but I know it won't be soon enough.

I've pre-ordered one, and while I'm anxious to get it, the recent announcement of a production S110V Manix2 Lightweight eases my anxiety. I want the steel and take the scales as they come. It happens I like the bluish Manix2 Lightweight's FRN scales no less than CF...

I am waiting for this knife. I love FFG Natives. The knife is certainly will be highlight of 2014, but I doubt that it will kick-out 2013 Forum Native out of my pocket. I love dark green much more than any CF.

At the OKCA they had a fluted one with the same pattern as the fluted Ti. That was awesome.

The Native 3 and 4 were made in Japan and had VG-10 steel. The 4 had slick CF scales much like the Caly 3/3.5 CF.
I'm not too interested in this CF Native 5, only because I have lots of peel ply CF already, and a Forum Native 5 (and I really like the dark green G-10). But, if I didn't have the Forum knife, I'd likely be all over this one. It should be very nice!

Thanks for the info! What knife currently has this peel ply? Is it textured like the Sage or Chap?

When you get a genuine Area 51 quality encounter of the third kind of the latest, greatest scale innovation from Spyderco that's been flying under the radar for 13+ months you know you're gonna get "interrogated" & give up the goods. I am talkin' sweatboxes & hot, bright lights in your eyes!
Now give up the goods on:
i. weight if you did not have a scale app. on your smartphone , then at least a comparative analysis.
ii. steel --ordinary supersteel, supersupersteel, or superdupersupersteel
iii. hardware , or lack thereof
iv. pics, film, video, you know the drill..."pics or it didn't happen!"
Ok, I'm joking :p ...I know you can't honorably divulge most of that stuff, but you can do better than "awesome"...please? :D

It's one ice been waiting for a long time it feels like. Can someone confirm the CF finish? I'd certainly prefer peel ply because I like functional knives. I am really impressed with the new manufacturing techniques used to make the Native 5 backlock so precisely. If I recall they cut them with wire EDM as opposed to laser (I'm guessing) that the other backlocks are cut with.
On order: Maxamet Native 5

I have had one on preorder from GPKnives for nearly a year, and lately they've been sending reminder emails every two weeks (last three months or so). My order states "peel ply CF" if that is any sort of confirmation. I am very excited to see this one and we've waited patiently for a while now. Hopefully in the next two months?
Maybe someone dropped the Native mold moving it into the expanded facility... Could be why there's so few of them...?

Weight was on par with the normal lightweight. The new FRCP lightweight seemed a bit lighter. I could be wrong though. We're talking a few grams.paladin wrote: Now give up the goods on:

I never report the steel because the crucible seminar was that morning and they were talking about an American M390 equivalent, and it was clear Sal was like a kid in a candy store during the whole metallurgy seminar. I know Crucible is making more of the 154-clad steel, because I heard it from the horse's mouth. I wouldn't put it past them to do a whole bunch of stuff with any of the new steels coming out, especially on a knife that nice in the handle.
The hardware was normal.
The CF was radiused and had the same pattern as the titanium model. It was super comfortable.
I can't take pictures because that would ruin my ability to see prototypes every year.

:spyder: wow...just...wow :spyder:
You really did us a "Solid"...

I may have been better off not knowing all the intel because now I am officially... OBSESSED!!! :eek:
I knew you couldn't take pics...was just kidding around...
Funny mental image of Sal, SALivating over new supersteel specs...you made my evening!!! :p
And seriously, SolidState, thanks for all the other 411 ! :D

I was excited for it, was even saving my Forum Native in pristine condition to be able to trade when it came out, but honestly it's been so long now that I've sort of lost interest. I'm also not the hugest fan of the Native format - I finally broke down and carried my forum version, and wasn't particularly impressed. I have lots of other knives in a similar size to the Native which I prefer. And to me, I know how to sharpen a knife, and typically don't find so-called "super steels" to feel all that special in real day to day use, so the S110v doesn't do a lot for me.
I'm far more excited for the fluted CF para 2 (which I've also been waiting for forever), and the Dice than I am for this particular blade.
