Well I'm nothing if not a brash and offensive know-it-all. We've heard enough talk about color limitations on G10 that I'm pretty sure WE don't get a special limited run color from the composites company.

Is this better:
Still haven't seen one in person, just trying to go off pictures.
Here are a couple pictures of the original (the colors look really different between the two pics; the first picture is the one that I based the original version on, but the IRL pic looks more like the above):
It is closer, but you can see the difference to compare with pictures of Stag Arms Manix. It looks like scales on Manix is darker and greener (not sure if this is the right word).
I think Sal knows what to buy :)

I do like the stag arms green, however I voted for the carbon fiber (textured if possible). Over time the G-10 shows more wear and discolors. It's also harder on pockets and clothing. While ti bolsters would be nice they would add to the cost.
After going back and reading Evil's post I would agree with him, if G-10 is used both Stag and Spyderco might be reluctant for their green to be used. Perhaps an OD green would be good? I'll be happy with any.
Voted red (preferring subdued red that does not conflict with trainers' signature color) and could have voted blue (preferring navy blue), but will be happy to get an S110V Native5 in whatever color.

How much impact are we expecting a 3" folder to sustain? I mean I pretty much only buy heavy duty folders, but some people might argue that they don't see anything special about a steel that sustain heavy impact when all they want a knife to do is cut something for a long time.

I would tend to agree. A Native has a short edge so despite it being really solid and well built, I would think that it is more of a cutter than a beater....
That being said I would really like to see these high edge retention steels used for something like the Chapparel. Thin stock like that with S90V, 20CP, S110V etc...would be literally like having a scalpel.
