I’ve been carrying mine non stop. I’m thinking knife of the year...
Even over the HH UKPK!?
Hmm...dang you got me, kinda didn’t consider that one because it’s an older model with a facelift. As far as new models go, I’d say the chief wins.

Nah, I just meant I won’t do it on any sprints/exclusives of the chief that I get my hands on.

Nice mod! Did you find the stock scales lacking sufficient traction?

No not at all. I just get a little bored with the standard black scales so I thought it would be fun. The standard scales work just fine.

Iam thinking about this one, Police 4, Military and maybe Caribbean.
I dont think that I am going to buy all of them, and every model has something going for. Police has a K390, Caribbean has LC200N, Chief has a humpless design, and Military is classy looking and it haa The handle.
This will be tough decision....

Some comparison shots in this vid:
https://youtu.be/1AWRJvpEzNs
around 1:00: Chief to Native 5, Lil Native and Shaman
around 8:10: Chief to Endura and Military
Looking at the handle directly compared to the one of the Endura: I think, people who like the Police handle shape over the Endura handle shape, should find the Chiefs just right also: The first finger placement looks sized a lot like the one on the Police, so unlike it is with the Endura, it has just the right size for ONE finger (on the Endura some people say, the placement is too big for one, but too small for two).
I happen to like the Endura ergos, but am totally sure that I´ll also like the ones on the Native Chief

I have one and I am in the US. Late last week I saw the first small wave hit American dealers. I actually bought mine from a brick and mortar store. I haven't seen them back in stock online tho.

Also looks like CC members are starting to get them. Keith Kevin Ken on YT just did a video in the past week.

Thanks for the updates I will be purchasing one when available becasue with the way Spyderco is delivering this year it appears if you do not as soon as they come out, you will be getting locked out and at the mercy of the flippers.
Wonder why things are delivering like they are this year? Sprint runs that are done in low numbers and sprint out off the seller website within minutes before people can purchase IE: Recent 20CV PM2. Before that the DLC from Blade HQ Shaman wasn't it?
The Smock a so called regular production run knife, ran and promptly disappeared. Same with the Ikuchi look around now they are out of stock at Blade HQ Knife Center etc....
2019 has been a strange year with Spyderco small batch runs of the most interesting designs seems to be the trend.
