Spyderco Forums

My purple Native has stayed in the box, while my girlfriend has used hers for things that would probably make most of us weep. I'm just curious how many of you actually use your forum knives. I would use mine, but I think I'm waiting on Spyderco to come out with a regular production Native with a flat ground blade, so I can use that one instead.

Nope.... safe queen over here. It's a shame, but being the LAST one available online from the SFO AND with such a nice laser pattern on the blade (which would be at least "damaged" if the blade was resharpened), I decided to keep it pristine. Besides, I have SO MUCH other Spydies to carry....

Here it is, together with accessories that were gifted to me by a fellow forumite (thanks for that again!)

That is a beautiful lanyard! I've never owned a lanyard before, but that one looks terrific with the forum knife. How can I get my hands on one?

I carry mine once a year for the Sequim Lavender Festival.

I have one that I carry and use occasionally. This is an old photo of it, the laser etching has since disappeared from edge.

Mine gets carried and used intermittently, although I admit that I baby it.

I guess it didn`t take too many sharpening sessions to wear that off.

sorry to hijack, but I guess there isn't going to be a 2010 forum knife?
Even after all those polls.
Any insight?

I dont have the Native forum knife but I edc/use my 05 Adventura all the time. It's still one of my favorite knives I own.

I EDC my blue G-10 BladeForums Native.

But I have 2 of them so the other sits in the display cabinet, completely unused.

I use my forum knives, even the purple forum native but I'll admit I'm careful not to trash them completely.

I haven't used mine much either. But only because I have so many other knives.

Well, it is December 1st and I seriously doubt it now. IMO, I think there are some lingering effects from all the complaining on how sales were handled, so no Forum knife this year anyway. While the complaining had no influence over me per se, I did sell my Forum Native to someone who wanted one really bad. While I was happy with the knife and the fact that I landed one, I didn't want it to the degree that some good forum members did. I just happened to be logged on at the right time and purchased it without any fuss. So, to answer the OP's question, I never used mine at all. Hope the forum member I sold mine to is still happy with it, be it a user or a safe queen.

I use mine on occasion, but have never need used it for anything very heavy duty. While I wouldn't want to use it for anything too tough, I'm not afraid to use it if I happen to be carrying it and it's called for.
