I'll stick with my prediction of 300:
1) No matter what you do, some folks will be pi$$ed off. That feedback has to be taken with a grain of salt.
2) Moderate to higher priced forum knives have sold poorly in the past.
3) the 2009 Forum knife was $65, this one is $150. If this was a Para 2, I'd run 600+ without thinking twice, but for a Native it's tought to tell whether the recent exclusive or longer term forum knife experience is more likely to apply.
4) S110V is a bear to work with. The trouble getting enough production time on the grinders on top of the other uncertainties argues for a smaller run.

I really doubt these will be slow sellers.

An interesting thought is also that these will likely be sharing production time with the S110V Carbon Fiber Native 5 that is slated for release soon. I wonder what that says about the total number available.
If I could get the labeled forum blade with the CF scales, I'd be a very happy camper.

+1, nothing better than carbon fibre.

Eeeee excited. I've been looking at the Native 5 and this is a great example. We'll see what the bank has to say...

Anyways, I'm sure SPY has enuff for all of us, plus a throusand.

I hope that there will be more than 300. I know that this will be a hardship for our beloved company, but this is what they do to keep spydernuts happy :)
I think that N5 is hot hot as para2, but it is getting there. It is amazing knife. But I never thought that I will love it that much until I started to EDC it. I always thought that I need 3.5" blade, now i know that I don't as long as I have my Native5.

Thanks for making this, it looks like a great knife. Unfortunately, it is out of my price range and basically irreplaceable, so I won't be getting one.
