Lil Native, Native 5, Native Chief. If we're going to add one between the Native 5 and Chief we might as well add another between the Lil Native and Native 5. Call it the Adolescent Native?

There's already an Adolescent Native. Be careful what you wish for. ๐Ÿ˜†

Elder is perfect.

Any current PM steel would be fine, S90V, MC, 4v, 3v, Rex45 (obviously, so I could complete the set :-) or CW would be ideal.
Here's another, except it's not photoshopped:

I bet Spyderco has already started working on a design that fits the OP's criteria. Same with a mini mini Manix. Both are very popular requests.

Personally I would really like a Chief XL. Something with a blade around 4.5", a bit longer than a Military.

We have a wealth of Endura / Chief sized options. Even more in the goldilocks chief / Endela size range.

But knives with 4.25-5" blades? Ghost town.

I know the market may not be there, but a guy can dream.

In an ideal world, we'd see both in some of the next reveals :)

I definitely think an Endela sized Native has a place in the family. I'd also be real interested in a Bodacious Chief.

I'll second that. The bodacious has so many good things going for it. I could see it being a favorite carry of mine if they made a larger version.

What about 3inch Bodacious? I like the Native, but the short edge due to choil, bugs me๐Ÿ™ Bodacious is a very good upgrade of Shaman IMHO. Mean and lean as Eric descriped it๐Ÿ‘Œ I bet a lot of customers would apreciate 3 inch, full edge, no hump, no choil Native๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜Š

I'm not sure it would work for me personally but probably be awesome for smaller hands. A Native 5 is about the size where I actually want a finger choil. I'd definitely check it out though.
