Would you buy this knife if Spyderco made it?

OK, first off, I KNOW it's a crappy picture. Just something rough I threw together to get the idea across. And please, I know I have NO graphics skill. No need to belabor the obvious. :(

I call this the "Freedom" Native,

Now, would you buy one of these if they made them? This is what came to mind when I first heard about the two tan versions, the "Operation Iraqi Freedom" and the "Operation Enduring Freedom" Natives. This was my mental picture. (The idea, not the crappy picture! :D )

I imagined basically, the C41BBk blade and internals in the C41TN FRN handle, with the black clip and barrel bolt instead of the stainless.

I figured it would have been made as "stealthy" as possible for troops in a combat zone. I was really surprised to see actual pics showing a stainless blade and clip. :eek:

But, what do you think? Would you buy it if it were made?

(Disclaimer: I have NO forewarning, clues, or anything like that as to what is or isn't in the planning at Spyderco. This is all something I cooked up in my mind, hehe)

Folding knives can be classified in two large groups: Spydercos and the rest!

first seems like it could be fun and the native is maybe the spyderco with the most moded runs

so far as stealth thats mostly for SF wantabees not saying that noise and light discipline was not looked after in the field but
how stealthy do you think 12 hummers loaded with 81mm mortar men was
we trained for shoot and skoot as anti mortar fire could be on us within 5 shots from our OP/MP

also for the highspeed low drag guys they will fix any shortcoming any of thre gear has be that a rattle fix or rattle can of paint to match in there background

Hmm, maybe "stealth wasn't the right word here. What I meant was, you don't need the glare coming off a stainless steel blade when you are trying NOT to be seen. "Low Visibilty" sound better?

And paint will scrape off at the first chance. What's wrong with the knife coming in the right color in the first place?


Whieee - much better than my feeble attempt!! The barrel bolt that holds the clip on would be black too though.

Thanks ;) I noticed the barrel, but it was a quickie ;) Maybe if I got some spare time I'll make a better version :D
